I agree. Watching that 7 game Lin streak was the most fun i've had watching the Knicks in over a decade and that is dead now. I don't even care I just don't want Melo here. I just don't like his game, even when its effective, which its not. He never really showed his game made teams all that much better anyway. Id say the time they went to the conference championships was more to do with Billups leadership than anything. If he was at a lower contract and we had someone else like Billups that could take over in clutch situations then I'd be fine with melo. But we don't. Melo's ego will never allow a guy like Lin to take over games at the end instead of him.
I don't like melo's attitude as much as the next. But can't blame him for everything. Some of it has to go to Stat and MDA too.
Whats obvious is our two superstars lacking ALOT of effort on a nightly basis but expect/demand the ball for 20+ shots whilst only hitting a low percentage of them. Melo especially with his outside shots and bad shot selection just kills the offense.
Stat with his disappearing act on the boards and on the defensive end. MDA with his inability to coach anything resembling defence and reducing our offense to one on one basketball.
