There is no way a team with this much talent should be playing this way.

Its just baffling. At the very least even if we aren't a great defensive team we certainly should be able to put points up in a hurry. Yet the offense looks so stagnant. We are back to being a jumpshooting team that is SO easy to defend against.

Carmelo is being asked to play a style that fits the system and not his game. You know what that's like? It's like Tebow running a west coast offense.

Why do it? It's CLEARLY not gonna work.

It's pass your bed time. Nighty night.


Take your nose out of Carmelo's butt. Stop making excuses for him. He played like a useless bum this year.

you fuxers, asking our players to be defensive juggernauts, get over it there strengths are not being defensive players. Melo never was good defensively, amare was never good defensively. Stop expecting them to start playing good defensively now it's not going to happen.

The only thing you should be pissed about is the lack of effort.

for 18m a year, i'd be willing to learn how to play some D

Then they should get the hell out of here, we are trying to win a championship and if they do not it means 1st round exits every year.We arent expecting them to be a bunch of lock down defenders but for almost $40 million dollars shared between them, they should at least act like they want to play defense.

Defense is an effort thing more than anything else. We're not asking them to lead the league in blocked shots and steals, but at least try and put a body on someone and make it hard for them to score. PUT SOME EFFORT INTO IT! Don't get outrebounded by guys 4 inches shorter.

Anyways, a teams defensive mindset starts with its coach and clearly D'antoni is allergic to coaching defence.
