Carmelo Anthony said it is time for him and Amar?e Stoudemire to have a heart-to-heart.
The superstar tandem have been a staggering wreck. If not fixed soon, the Knicks? season ? and coach Mike D?Antoni?s job ? will be on the line.
?We as a team need to do a better job getting Amar?e the ball,?? Anthony admitted. ?I have the ball in my hands. Maybe it?s on me. Maybe I have to give him the ball a little more, help him out with that. We?ll talk probably [today] and try to figure it out together. If I?m doing too much, I want him to tell me. I want the guys on the team to tell me if I?m doing too much.?
According to a person familiar with direct knowledge of the situation, Anthony has been too obsessed with his points and Stoudemire is too concerned with Anthony taking over the team. There?s also too much finger-pointing, according to the source.
Stoudemire and Anthony are co-captains and their impending meeting is more important than anything D?Antoni can say.
It?s obvious I?m beat up. I don?t want to use that as any excuse. Maybe it?s time to reevaluate everything, reevaluate my body, sit with the trainers, see what?s going on.??

How did it ever come to this?
Some will blame it all on the coach, others all on Carmelo's greed, others all on STAT. Some, as pointless as it may be, will hypothesize it in to a blame percentage - 80% MDA, 10% Melo, 10% STAT, for example.
What set this festering locomotive's engine on fire?
D'Ant's incapability as a coach?
STAT's incapability as a defender?
Melo's incapability as a team player?
Dolan's incapability as owner/funder?
A clash of egos that have no championship between them?
Are we just bearing witness to a culmination of what's wrong with modern day sports?
If you take D'Antoni's name out of the above list, what are you looking at?
You're looking at 3 precocious, spoon fed, narcissistic multi millionaires.
STAT, Dolan and Carmelo Anthony.
Is that the issue at the crux of our dismay?
Is this karma taking one back for what's right and reasonable?
Does anyone remember Voltron from the 80s? That was numerous parts coming together to build one, unstoppable force.
Right now, the Knicks are the antithesis of Voltron. Numerous parts that have come together, to form one, lumbering, pitiful mix of heinous hopelessness. Assembled by celebrity, greed and it's all payed for by the fans.
All the maneuvering, all the hope, all the effort, all the cash, every single ****ing post you've ever made on this site: this is your result.
