Well u have to agree the Knicks performance as a team were 100 times better the last two games WITHOUT $124M Franchise Melo.
u also have to agree the Knicks had a very close chance of winning both games if Fisher didnt give JR the green-light to shoot shoot shoot the final 3 minutes of the game. I actually would rather have THJ or Wear instead of JR in crunchtime minutes.
The Loss goes to Fisher.
To be fair, the last 2 games are just the 2nd and 3rd games we've had a PG... It's clear, Melo (like most front court players, if not all) need a quality PG to excel. When Melo had Billups in DeN he took team to Conf Finals. When Kidd was here, and Felton played well, Knicks were the 2 seed... This is why I had hopes for this season... A shame, bc this year just like last... Over before it started. Last year TC got hurt, this season Calderon missed the first few weeks.
LOL... Amare and JR with a combined 25 points and 14 turnovers. Classic. 14 of the team's 21 turnovers. Mavs played poorly, and we seemed to try... I was worried there for a moment, but you can always count on JR and Shump... God, those two are awful. Shump is a disgrace to the position... Hey has no offense. He makes Gerald Wilkens look like Dominque. And he simply has zero impact on the offensive end after the 2nd quarter. JR was so bad it's amazing he continues to get minutes.
Calderon and Priggs were on an island... Amare, Daly, JR, Shump... They lowered the ball, even for themselves. But, I thank them. We stole a loss from the jaws of victory and are a step loser to a top 5 pick.
Mavs were 4-31 from downtown. We should have been run out of the building... They just had an. Off night shooting. On top of that, Calderon-Priggs hit a bunch of threes.
We all realize the flaws Melo has. His article about wanting to be a tech tycoon made me vomit. But Lord... Shump-JR-Bargnani-Amare are the reason we stink. We don't have a starting NbA SG, or a C, and we just got our PG back. Lebrun wouldn't even win with these guys
