You stalk me, what does that say about you?
First of all I see why your trying to keep this on the personal side.. Because you're getting absolutely smacked silly on the basketball side. You don't have a leg to stand on in this debate about Melo. The whole premise of this thread is absolutely ass backwards and everybody sees it. On top of that I'm pointing out what a retard you sound like and you hate it.. Your prolly at boxing right now trying to picture my face as you throw your sissy lil punches, lol. Your so lame.. :teeth::teeth::teeth:
Some life you got. :lol:
Yea my life sucks-- a good marriage, nice plush job, house, cars. To top it off I'm a humble man w a deep love for the game of basketball and the acumen to go w it.
I'm glad I'm annoying you though...making you break out of character.
I'm making you do what I want, and its mad funny.
Annoying me? Ha! Your amusing me. In any debate about basketball I WILL SMASH YOU. This is what you don't understand. It's the childish, personal stuff, that you're so good at, that I really don't like to get into. That's the one thing you're right about in this thread infact. It is out of character for me.
You lost a lot of respect from people here already. :lol:
I gain respect w every post. You spit some outlandish piece of hyperbole almost everyday and are wrong almost as much. Just because you have a lot of posts doesn't mean you actually know anything.
Reread your post.
It shows how insecure and little you are.
Nah holmes.. I've only given my honest assessments. They happen to cut against what your selling and you can't handle it. You're like a woman who can't admit she's wrong during an arguement where she's been proven wrong several times! Almost nobody, but you lapdog Kingstarbury agrees that Melo < Felton and Chandler, or what ever the f*ck you mean as you keep changing it up.
FIRST IT WAS: "IF WE GOT MELO HE'D BE OUR FOURTH BEST PLAYER"
I chased off that weak assessment &
THEN IT BECAME: MELO < FELTON AND CHANDLER
Which is it?? Like I said you don't have a leg to stand on.
Me? I don't give a ****. Everything you font doesn't make sense anyway, and you bring a lot of negative energy here and not much insight, when you do that, people tend to skip your post. Also it make you look desperate for attention and myapproval when you continually stalk my post. Only reason people would read you nonsense is because you replying to me, and that bothers you ALOT that I mention that. You a sensitive little guy.
as for Melo, its simple.
His way of scoring doesn't fit the system.
^^^^^^^^
This is the dumbest thing I've seen in a while. How in christ name could his way of scoring not fit into a system that is predicated on scoring the basketball?? You're a moron. MELO WOULD FIT IN TO OUR OFFENSE FINE. Certainly better than Chandler does, and w Felton he'd be even better. Like I've said, in our offense Melo could rely more on the schemes within it, as opposed to what he does in Denver-- relying more on isos. This is a simple basketball point you either don't understand or continue to ignore. Melo would get his share of isos in our offense, but he'd also get alot of good open looks as well due to our spacing and movement (which we've all seen), which he'd utilize, i think it's safe to say better, than Chandler or Gallo or Fields because none of them are of his ilk in the scoring department. This is why he'd fit fine. THIS SHOULD MAKE GOOD SENSE IF YOU HAVE HALF A BRAIN. This is pure basketball talk try to stay w me.
His defense isn't good, passing isn't good check his TO to assist ratio...Kobe, James, Wade, T'Mac, Iggy, etc are good passers, Melo just gets his assist due to ball domination just like a lot of other superstars.
Dude is a modern day Glen Robinson.
^^^^^
Yes this is is where we agree. As I've stated all along Melo is not as good a facilitator as any of the guys you mention. I think part of this has to do w the FACT that he doen't have a lot of help in Denver to pass to (he doesn't really trust those guys that much either) and also because they need him to get buckets. They don't need him to be a facilitator. That's why they have Billups. The need him to get the ball on the post or wing and do what he does.
In our offense he would have to move the ball more, which I don't think he's averse to. He would also be the beneficiary of our ball movement many times. I think he could run the pick and roll as the screener also where he would halve alot of options as he came off of the pick. He could develop a nice chemistry w Felton on the wing in transition. This would be a great benefit to Melo as teams hurry back on defense. When he makes his move in transition after the quick pass from Felton, he'll definitely draw attention and he could find shooters as they spot up. I think we'd see more of Melo's passing skills partly because of the spacing of our offense in the half court which is utilized by moving the basketball, and also due to the threat he poses with his ability to run the floor in transition coupled w his ability to draw the defense and find shooters as they spot up on the positions we're all familiar w having watched the SSOL for a good while now.
On the defensive end Melo has shown a propensity for defense when challenged. I recall a games where he had to guard Kobe and did an admirable job. I think alot of the reason he's seen as average on defense is because he has to conserve energy due to carrying such a huge burden to score. But overall he needs to play better on the D-end. I think he can. Amare has shown an increased willingness to give effort on that end this year w his shot blocking, help side D and being more vocal. Why wouldn't Melo fall in line?? He wants to win. That's HIS WHOLE REASONING FOR COMING TO NY.
Felton is easily better than Melo. Ray is a top twenty guy, and is at an elite PG status. Melo cannot do what he does. Felton plays D, runs the oense and gives us twenty points per game. Overall, Felton is better. Career wise, Melo is more accomplished. But the only thing that mattes is right now, so get over yesterday and stat living in today. Today, we are the NY Knicks, an upcoming team in the East with an excellent core of players. Lets embrace that. We been through the past decade so much to not do it.
I'm not willing to say Felton is better than Melo yet. I would atleast like to wait until, at the very least, the allstar break (maybe...)to see where Felton stands, really the end of the season would be nice. I think it's a little early. You need to slow down. Melo is 5 time allstar. Felton just started playing good this year. Calm down.
Chandler rebounds equally and plays much better D and jump-shot is equal or even better to Melo.
Plus Chandler is cheaper and younger, has more experience with this team and more room to grow as a player. This gives us a chance to sign a better player than Melo; there's many since Melo isn't a top fifteen player as I proved before. Chandler is playing like a top thirty NBA player right now. Why give that up for someone who's giving up on a franchise?
^^^
Chandlers jumpshot is not as good as Melo's. Chandler is benefiting from proper execution of our offense and because of that he's become a knockdown shooter, as he's gotten alot of good open looks. But he is not a better shooter than Melo. Melo is the best pure scorer in the league. He makes all kinds of jumpshots; from fadeaways to off balance shots. He shoots with more range and has a MUCH better mid-range jumpshot than Chandler. You need to slow down there.
Chandlers is a better defender right now, I'll give you that. But that's it. That's all he does better. Melo is a better rebounder, better athlete, he runs the floor better, he's more aware offensively and he's a better passer and ballhandler. Stop dude. YOUR MAKING NO SENSE.
Melo isn't going to change the Knicks that much.
^^^^
You are an idiot for this comment. Melo would give us another primary scoring option that we could rely on for stretches, just like we do w Amare. This is the reason you can't put him in the same class as Felton or Chandler. HE IS A FRANCHISE PLAYER, that when its all said and done will more than likely go into the HOF. YOU NEED TO STOP. You sound like a moron.
It was a post bitch posting this.
