Nice post, this is exactly what i'm talking about, he doesn't trust his teammates and that needs to change, and soon.
Maybe not, but i'd rather watch good basketball, and get the open shots, because it builds good habits.That right their is a bad habit of MELO, he has to pass the ball in that situation.Are you confident Landry or Douglas would of even hit the rim with the pressure on him and time running out? And if so then why did Antoni call the Iso to Melo like he has EVERY 4th quarter of EVERY game so far this season? Just asking?

Have to agree, that's exactly what coach dumb ass wanted, but melo still has to pass that ball.Don't you think if D'Antoni wanted him to pass, he would have a cutter in that situation? I bet you $$$ that is exactly the play that D'Antoni called and it was executed to his liking. Why? It's because we do the same thing ever game all year long. We were tied at that point and only needed 1 point to get the lead/win.

LMAO, you got a point, he just might roast guys for shooting wide open shots, and not kick it back to MELO for a 1 on 3 iso, i wouldn't put it past him.Yup you're right, Melo needs to be the coach and take over this team. By saying that, he needs also needs to choose his shots better and pass the ball and ignore the coaches wishes. Problem is if he does that D'Antoni will ream guys like Douglas and Fields for shooting it instead of passing it back to Melo. You know I'm right... We've seen it too many times.

Never, it's really getting pathetic.LMAO...Yup exactly! Douglas and Fields remind me of a dog that's been beaten. You can tell D'Antoni takes out all his frustrations on the "weak" players on our team. That's why you consistently see them basically piss on the court while hesitating to shoot an open shot in an "green-light" shooting system. When have you ever seen D'Antoni even talk to Melo or Stat for taking a bad shot or turning the ball over? He destroys the latter.

This is just a microcosm of what he has been doing, i love Melo, and like our team just as it is, but he has to pass that ball.There was no way in hell, he could have got a good shot out of that, i don't care who your passing to, the better basketball play is always pass if theirs a better shot available.We need a coach who encourages better decision making, and until we get that we will suck.Hahah wtf are you talking about? Don't you remember he passed up a shot in game 2 or 3 of the Celtics playoff matchup and gave the ball to Jared Jeffries for a layup. Jeffries missed that layup, and we lost the game.
Trust has to be earned. Setting 2-3 screens for Melo like the Celtics do with Ray Allen would be more the thing I am looking for. I am NOT looking for Melo to pass to anyone other than Amar'e.
Pass to Toney D or Landry?!?! :teeth::teeth::thumbsup: Hahah gtfo of here.
