Knicks vs Nuggets - January 21st, 2012. 7:30pm EST

[GONYK]

Worth noting: the Nuggets' biggest advantage is depth and they only have 7 guys worth playing tonight. They're also on the end of a long road trip.

If we win this game, I can already tell the narrative is going to be "the Knicks are back". But that's not really the case.

why you got to be that guy ?

**** JayD. Seriously. These are the type of people that live with a stank look on their face cause all they smell is someone's fart in front of roses.

We're winning because we outplayed them in the 1st. Plain and simple

Melo - 4 assists

[johnnywishbone]

Walker played great. TD made a couple shots, still frustrating to watch him. Stumps best half as a Knicks? Melo SMh. Amares back brace was sticking out - didn't realize he was wearing one.

[Handledatruth]

Why again are we as fans asking Melo not to be a scorer? He's one of the greatest one on one scorers in the game...come on people. Everyone has a role and Melo's role is to exploit mismatches.

If D'Antoni wants ball movement then he needs to put Melo on the baseline and block instead of starting him from the top of the key. Melo pick and roll once in awhile is cool but is doesn't really work in consecutive possessions. Seems like common sense. That and keeping Amare in the game when Harrelson is in.

Piazza drunk, Armando Benitez?

Melo - 4 assists

[earthmansurfer]

15 assists at the half and only 6 turnovers, that's what I'm talking about Knicks!

Love the crowd yelling at MElo to pass

And he had 4 assists

He is a great passer, but when he gets doubled that is when he really should try more. The ISO stuff, when he is shooting like S**T, is painful to watch. If he is hot, ride him, not now. He is trying to make a statement, but it looks to be a confirmation of what people say is wrong with him.

[god shammgod]

Doesn't mean they are good shots

he makes a lot of what you would consider bad shots though. he's injured and looks bad now. he definitely needs to iso less but when the other guys go cold, that melo iso is a deadly weapon when he's healthy.

[Red Vines]

Shumpert played like a PG and it made a huge difference.

And he had 4 assists

if douglas and others could make an open shot, melo would have more than 8 assists.

if melo passes it, which he often does, he isnt given any credit because his teammates brick an open shot or turn the ball over. but if he god forbid tries to score himself, he's a ball stopper, selfish, not a team player.

Don't even try to cinvince buddy....they'll be back once Melo hit a few game winners. It's like that around here

Well Marbury averaged eight assists a game in his career, was he getting his mates involved ?

Tonight
Knicks with Melo are -3
Knicks without Melo are +11

fields 14 minutes....walker 7 minutes???

good job mike

That is crazy that the hot guy from the floor plays less.

D'antoni needs to go.

now im obviously not condoning that walker plays big minutes every night but seriously with the way the knicks are struggling this yr why not mike our hot players???

Oh, I get where your at and I agree.

Milk the hot hand, but this coach is clueless.

I'd even reel in Melo tonite, he'd be instructed to hit layups, rebound, and pass...that's it.

He's got to be smarter to know his jumper is off tonite.

[NYKat]

Nobody's talking about how good our defense is...

that is the difference maker

[Striders]

fields 14 minutes....walker 7 minutes???

good job mike

Fields is playing well. Running the floor well, and he seemed to be doing a better job at guarding Gallo than anybody else.

Still convinced Piazza is gay

[DocZaius]

Piazza looks weird

The ugly side effects of steroids and HGH

[johnnywishbone]

Piazza with the creepy pedophile winks

Nice hair plugs mike.

GTFO you annoying little troll you

But the only cold one is Melo right now

Melo played against the starters and didn't play with a hot Walker on the flow. Jeez man. He took a few bad shots, but overall he tried to get people involved. Stop being a sour puss.
