Re: Knicks-Rockets PG: Who didn't see this coming?
Can someone tell me why you guys are so easily giving DRose a pass for calling his own number time after time after time and him missing more than he makes without ever passing the ball.

Melo for Blake<-------Doc's reaction
Like the Suns trading for Shaq (and many other examples), they are desparate. They know that their current make-up wont win it. Teams in the predicament roll the dice. Having Chris Paul could make them think believe that he can get the best out of Melo.

Rose and Carmelo are the only guys who can consistently get buckets. Everyone else is flakey.
Rose and/or Carmelo are going to have to make a commitment to facilitate the offense.
KP looks terrible.

There are a lot of Rose shills. Makes no sense to me.

Who is giving him a pass? I think we all see this. He's only here for a year. I take solace in that.

what's his strengths? I haven't paid any attention to the draft prospects (was hoping not to but I guess I will..)
He's a hell of a passer and could grow into a hell of a defender too.
I still like Ball better and Dennis Smith is only not number one because he got hurt senior year.

Is Melo coming off an injury or just that disinterested in playing basketball. He looks like he he is struggling at everything

Re: Knicks-Rockets PG: Who didn't see this coming?
Didnt even watch the 2nd half. Just a garbage performance. You knew once they couldnt even shrink the lead with Harden on the bench it would be a loss.
Hornacek is also a buffoon for putting out a lineup of Kyle/N'Dour/Holiday/Sasha/Jennings to start the 2nd. Idiot. Knicks have no depth. Need to play at least 1, preferably 2 starters at all times.

Re: Knicks-Rockets PG: Who didn't see this coming?
Melo just not a passer. Doesn't he even watch himself on tape? I was delusional defending this guy. What a ball hog.

We would have beaten the Pistons last night if we had Robin Lopez. Facts.

if dennis smith finds a jumpshot i'd pick him over fultz. you might like ball better but fultz is a better player right now. #Phax

The rest of the team did not fight for rebounds or make an attempt to even lift their arms (yes you lance) for 1 rebound just one. They allowed 30 points per quarter which is not trying on defense. Horrid horrid iof they lose but make an effort it is one thing it is completely different when you do not make an effort
This is the problem, he needs to be held accountable for playing like trash.
Agreed and it's time to accept he's a work in progress. Treating him like a hall of famer after one year wasn't good for him.
He was bad, but blaming him for this loss is ridiculous. If we expect a 21 year old to carry us we are even more ****ed than I realized.
Melo and Rose are supposed to be the best players on this team. Neither have shown any ability to be more than scorers.

I am feeling this for the past few games...like we have decent nba rotation players and still look as bad as before. Those poor body language and lack of effort. Must be something bad happening on the inside that we obviously dont know. We can get the best pick out there but it looks like the environment is kinda "toxic" making it useless.

I've yet to delve that deep but I'm going to. I've seen some of Smith but what's the other kids name that is going to Washington?

They are not trading Blake for Melo, wake up from that dream.
