Game Thread: New York Knicks vs Utah Jazz (2014/11/14)

Hard to believe that Utah continues to go with Hayward playing solo defense against Melo. Melo continues to just torch him.

Melo with another get a stop now

I don't care if he didn't call bank. Mark it, this is the best scoring performance by a single player in the NBA this season. Now we need a stop to go to OT.

Melo with the 3 off the glass.

Dammit wat happened?

Another heartbreaker. Good effort and an epic scoring performance by Melo, but we lose to another bottom tier team on our home court. Lottery ball continues.

Heart break. Figures

Here's a factoid. DFish played 18 years and never played on a team that lost 6 games now 7 games in a row.

I don't know how many 6 game losing streaks the Knicks have had in the Stat Melo era but its more than one for sure.

Tonite we got strong defense from a rotation of players we should've put in the D.League .. Larkin, Early, Wear
We cut a offense/defense NBA ready rookie Giannis Antetokounmpo for refusing to go to the D.League
why did Phil make the Sacremento Kings trade for Acy n Outlaw?
When it was cheaper to just waive Jeremy Tyler n Wellington.
Acy belong in a frontline with Stat & J.Smith, not Dally & Melo

This has the ingredients for being the worse loss of the season. Shump hurt, Stat out and getting beat for RBs on FTs.

In the Knicks last 3 games Stat shot 12 -25
3 divided by 25 = Stat receive 8 shots per game (Fire Extinguisher)

In 2006 Stat receive a max contract for being a 20-9 bigman shooting 56% fg (averaging 14 shots a game).
When Stat came to the Knicks he average 28-12, shooting 54% fg. all that stop the day Ball-Hog Melo became a Knicks.
Stat scored consistent 30 pt games for the Knicks WIN. Not 46 pts for a Knicks loss...

I like stat.. even with his "D" shortcomings... but those bad knees.... sad...
