Refs are so terrible. This happens to Melo all the time. If your headband is knocked on its side or out of your head, maybe just maybe you were fouled.

Replace Melo with Lebron and the Knicks would without a doubt win a championship. Melo can't even guarantee we get past the 1st round.

Why is this green?

Beat me to it. Some guys are just being homers on here. Lebron is on another level. Like he is playing vs history and all time greats while everyone else is playing vs each other. The guy is just on another level right now.

melo spikes the ball to the rafters out of frustration.

I know Melo needs to get his anger in check but damn I have seen him get his headband knocked to the side or off his side at least twice every game with no call. I would be pissed too.

Same thing with Bron. WTF his headband was knocked clean off after he made a layup. So unless he magically grew and extra arm, his two hands were busy making a shot and someone else knocked it off. Refs should get pay deducted after x amount of mistakes. This is getting out of hand. Not just vs us but around the league.

No argument, but you know it wont change, but what can change is the player whining about something that wont change.

Definitely not right now. But a 3peat or 4peat while playing at this level then he is in the discussion.

I saw that convo, didn't feel like getting deep into it.

Lebron at 28 is debatable at best with Jordan at 28, but imo he has to at least three peat and solify some mvps before he can take that spot.

homer, NO

realist when I say the game is tailor made for LeBron to dominate AND everything he does is always emphasized as great or spectacular

Green isn't the right color I suppose. What is the color you use for overly cynical and disgruntled?

Because what LeBron is doing is historic, he's actually breaking record in areas that were weaknesses in his game.

I love Melo being with the Knicks, but while Lebron is cruisin at 60% shooting, melo has fell down below his career average with 44%.

All that isn't due to Missed free throws.

Lebron is a successful genetic experiment that the NBA conducted 28/29 years ago and implanted into an Ohio woman.

where the hell did you get missed free throws from my argument

like I said LeBron is a great player but he's "over-credited" to a fault

*passes out of a double team and the extra pass is made, team hits a 3*

LeBron draws attention leading to an open 3 for his teammates is an example of how he makes teammates better

*Melo does the exact same thing*

he's stagnating the offense, the Knicks cant win like that

dont give me that history, record breaking bull, he's a great player but they're sucking his dick a little too much

How the hell is anyone going to beat the Heat. They are making the thunder look like fools.

Easier said than done.

Sorry but you're setting yourself up for disappointing if you think the Knicks can beat the Heat.

Seeing the Heat beat down on OKC like they're an average team puts just how good the Heat are in perspective -- which puts just how well the Knicks are placed in the standings in perspective. At the end of the day, I don't think there's any real possibility for catching that #1 seed anymore. So I think it truly becomes about making sure you win the division, and figuring out the kinks and getting into the playoffs playing the best basketball- while of course trying to hold onto that #2 seed.

Kevin Durant is shooting lke Melo did last night. The Thunder are also just a bad match-up in this one. The Spurs I think could take MIA in a 7 game series.
