The Voice of New York - NY Knicks Prose from the Pros

Please enjoy this new thread idea, compiling articles from the New York local papers (NY Post, NY Times, NY Daily News, NY Newsday, Wall St Journal, etc) who employ professional sports writers whose sole job is to report on the NY sports teams (Knicks, Nets, Mets, Yanks, Rangers, etc), who hang out with the team and the organization and share their paid opinions with the city and the world.

The NY Post and the Daily News, in particular, carry sensationalist news meant to sell papers, so their back pages (and sometimes front pages) occasionally feature the Knickerbockers in all their glory, especially in this difficult year. enjoy. CC :smokin:

If I was owner ....

at the start of the 2013-14 season, if one of my top high-scorers mention (publically) he were going FA at the end of the season .....

Melo's playingtime would be shorten, Melo's name would be rumored to be traded every month to 3 to 5 different teams.
my headcoach will be instructed to make two decent lineups from the roster without Melo in either of the 2 lineup, to give my headcoach 10 "keepers" to gell into a winning situation throughout the season.

I dont understand the reality of giving a player playingtime when he dont want to be on the team.
and its insanity on the headcoach to give this player 40 to 45 minutes per game in 26 straight games (to fullfill scoring stats, plus get a career high in rebounds.).
I use the term insanity when a man's wife ask him for a divorce when shes caught cheating, and he runs out to the jewry store to buy her an expensive gift to change her mind.
This have to be how the Knicks players and coaching-staff have been looking at owner Jim Dolan & Carmelo Anthony, when Melo handed Dolan the divorce papers to sign.

Having a 9-21 record, u would think the above article would have the same clarity of our game threads.
Watching so many pityful performances, game after game, getting blown-out by 40 then 30 points at home.

We started the season losing with 15 healthy players .. so using injuries as a scape goat wont get it.
