I'm expecting both of those guys to get destroyed by our very own Melo and the Magic's Dwight Howard for years to come. While they both are respectable players neither one of them have the game of either one of those players they were taking lightly. It's going to be a massacre if either of these two have to match up with either of the guys they made light of.

Thank you.

...Melo's defense sucks, what's the big deal? Also this is sort of taken out of context, the guy has said multiple times that Melo is his favorite player and he models his game after him... except for on defense, good for Morris.

amare on glen

Asked about his second-quarter post defense, Stoudemire said: “I’m just playing smart. I know ‘Baby’ wanted to try to draw contact and draw fouls. His core is not really as tight as it should be, so I knew I can catch him off-balance from that. I kind of backed up, but I thought he traveled on the play, but he turned the ball over.”

Whether its true or not where does he gain by insulting Melo?

Motie never actually degraded or insulted Howard, whereas Morris verbally implied Melo is a ****ty defender repeatedly for no reason on camera. it cant just be a jealous bitch move it has to be more than that.
I wonder what was Melo's reaction, if he had one.


he knows the media gravitates towards this kind of press

Watch, next time Melo plays against the Rockets and this scrub he's gonna drop 40 and have his ass on lock the whole game. Then this kid is gonna say something like "I was off" in the post game interview and we'll all laugh about how he talked about Melo's defense.

The best parts of these videos is McHale telling these clowns to take it easy with all that poppin off. He knows what's in store when both we and the Magic play them.

That dude is bonkers though. There's one point in the interview where he referred to himself in 3rd person about 20 times in the matter of a minute. :lol:

Melo really isn't that bad of a defender, and this isn't me being a homer, I think Amare is that bad of a defender. Melo switches too much (this may have to do with the fact that switching was their MO in Denver) and takes plays off, but when he wants to be he's a pretty good on-ball defender.

Melo might drop 40 the next time he plays the Rockets but he will probably give up 45 to the guy he's guarding. Yes Carmelo is a bad defender. Only a blind homer would not see it.
