You’re more optimistic than most. I don’t think it will close enough to lose on a buzzer beater.

Wow, didn't know one player who is taking less shots than the others is the reason. Who knew?


This is how so many NBA fans think :lol:

Yeah, he’s playing bad.

Bad teammate? The guy who was voted teammate of the year last year and had teammates writing how much they’re going to miss him?

DEN underperformed? Really? Dragging that franchise from the depths of the west cellar to the playoffs every year he was there, including a WCF appearance.

Knicks? Go check how awful the Knicks were the 6 years before he came.

Knicks look ok now at 14-13? Guess what. They were 16-13 last year :lol: I’m sure their better play had nothing to do with adding a lottery pick at their biggest position of weakness, bringing in THJ or the expected leap from year 2 to year 3 for KP.

Some dudes just have it out for this guy at all costs. So anytime he’s bad, they come wringing their hands saying I told you so.

He was the only starter with a positive net rating against the lowly Nets, and his clutch defense won us a game against Memphis. Carmelo certainly has his issues, but he's not the sole reason we suck.

Looking forward to watching a game without Cage and Davis trying to assure me that we have the opponent ‘right where we want them.’

Russ’ idea of running an offense is either forcing a bad pass or yelling “and 1” as he bricks a shot without getting fouled.

Westbrook isn't even close on these shots. I hope we didn't just lock up a guy long term who is about to seriously decline.

What amazes me is when other teams play bad basketball and take bad shots, they still hit them. We can’t hit good shots.

Paul George really showing his former team what they're missing. A -11 and a team worst so far...

Alex screwed up and fouled that guy before he could get his three point shot off.

Melo could get 15 FGA all of action created for a catch and shoot.

Why this doesn’t happen is beyond me

Oladipo couldn’t make that driving layup last year.

Adams is the only good thing about this season so far.
