It's not fair to blame Melo for this. It's basically him vs 2 superstars. His supporting cast isn't giving him much help

He deserves some blame. He's played like his typical inconsistent self in the playoffs. Game 1 awful, Game 2 great, Game 3 awful.
This team is not put together well. He deserves a significant amount of the blame for how this team is constructed and their lack of flexibility going forward.
We were also missing our starting PG, our starting defensive stalwart SG, and our starting PF.
Yea, if Melo comes as a free agent, we keep Gallo or Wilson, and Moz, etc. We'd have 4 SF's on the roster, and maybe no Tyson Chandler.
It's a factual point you're making, but I dunno how relevant it is on May 3rd, 2012. What's done is done.
We have what we have. Without 3/5 of our starting lineup out, we don't look quite as pathetic, and Melo doesn't have to carry the entire offensive load.
dont blame no amare...melo's been better without amare

We're 0-3. It hasn't been just this game. We lost by 33 in game 1 with everybody, except Lin.
And Lin, Novak, Fields, Davis, Bibbly, Jeffries and Smith need to be replaced or resigned next year, somehow.
The old team with $18 mil in cap space could have built a better product than what we have now. No question. But you're right, what's done is done. Just have to accept and eat the crap Dolan feeds us. It's what us Knick fans do best.:lol:

7 for 23 with 5 TO, season on the line. He suck ass for 3 games, will get sweep out of the playoff 0-4 AGAIN. Yeah, let blame everyone else. He is da man. What a selfish loser!!

This team is way better we just have not gotten a real chance to click, everything has been on the fly give the guys this training camp and an 8 game pre-season and see where things are then, if I'm wrong I'll eat my crow but if I'm right then this team is a force to be reckon with
I know it hurts, but sooner or later you'll have to admit that Melo isn't doing what this franchise is paying him to do, just as he didn't do what the Nuggets paid him for. He is just too self-centred to see that he is not going to win a title on his own.
He had more than enough pieces of humble pie in his career, however it doesn't seem to change his approach in the long run.
But on the flip side of that...if not Melo, then who?
His options were JR (who took 18 shots), Baron, Fields, Bibby, Jeffries, Jorts, and Tyson.
So, I guess, subtracting JR from that list...who do we want taking shots?
