Knicks vs Celtics: pre game thread

[nyk_nyk]

There WILL be a team that will offer Novak more than the vets min.

Unfortunately this is true. He has to REALLY wanna play here next season. I don't think he'll be offered the full mid level by anyone but he def can get more than the min.

Nothing but the real truth stated again by my man MSGKnickz33


Melo has played like the best player in the NBA today, best performance of the year.

He has taken total leadership of this team...a complete transformation !


Did anyone see Melo sarcastically told Novak to chill out after he made the last 3 point shot?

So much chemistry, rhythm...Melo is finding satisfaction in seeing his teammates score the basket.

This is a Carmelo Anthony we paid for.

I'm very hyped!

Carmelo Robinson winning you over slowly yet steadily.

Melo at PF > Amare at PF

Would have been nice if we beat Miami the other night. However. Better to beat em in playoffs. Kinda like gmen did to so many teams in their 07 and 11 playoff SB runs. They lost to GB big and Dallas twice and the Pats in 07 regular yr. then beat em all when it counted. They lost to GB and SF in 11 and beat em when it counted. Oh they did beat pats during yr and then beat em again for good measure in SB. Lol

He's getting there bro! I'm slowing eating my crow and loving every bite.

No letdown in NJ tomorrow night or this win means nothing.

My nephews are saying they would have won with Allen and the other guy they had out. Told them to EAT IT

you guys know whats funny its not even that Melo is at the 4 because he's still being defended by 3's its the spacing and structure, everyone is playing off of Melo and he's making the right decisions. STAT just has to pick his spots and get open and he'll be fine, if Chandler can get 20 playing off Melo so can STAT

STAT needs to rebound and defend at a high level and he'll get an easy 17-25 a night

p.s. Mike Bibby did a great job at point tonight really controlled the game for a long spurt

Baron get well soon

End of the day we are all Knicks supporters. I'm sure you want him to succeed as much as the next NYK fan. Let's hope he continues this way.

If Melo plays like that in the playoffs i'm not afraid of Chicago or Miami.Shoot,go at the rim,draw defense and pass at the right time,rebound.He did everything.

agreed, melo played like lebron today...and thats a good thing..posting up into defenders and kicking out for the open shot.

[miked1958]

Philly lost again... Celtics could of clinched the Atlantic with a win tonight and we stopped them

shove his face in it, tell em STAT or Lin wasn't here but we aint complainin

[KingStarbury3]

lol @ Carmelo Robinson, but the choice is still his. He can go down as the next Glen Robinson or continue to play the way he has under Woodson. He controls his own destiny, i really wish we could get up to 6th and play the Pacers in the first round.

Melo at PF > Amare at PF

That's an understatement

Who's the other guy? Was it Lin, or Stoudamire? We were missing 2 starters, they added the officials to their roster, they still lost; Deservedly so.
