And the flip side of the coin? What about Denver's Western Conference Finals appearance? What about our first Atlantic division title in a decade and The Eastern Semis? What I' saying is you can't blame Melo all the bad forgetting about the good... He is just one player in a team sport playing for a rookie head coach. So the major question is: If Melo does shut it down, what are you haters going to talk about and who are you going to BLAME????

Did u think the Detroit Pistons were gonna win the NBA title when they picked a bust in the draft instead of selecting Carmelo Anthony with their pick in 2003?
The Detroit Pistons NBA title MVP went to Chauncey Billups.
It was Chauncey Billups who carried the Denver Nuggets on his back to the WCF.
We all know the best PG in the NBA after Magic Johnson were Jason Kidd & John Stocton.
It was Jason Kidd's relentless 4th quarter tactics in 2012-13 that won the Division Title for the Knicks with a 54 win season.
So your quoted question,
"So the major question is: If Melo does shut it down, what are you haters going to talk about and who are you going to BLAME????"
Winning 2 games out of 10 games without a ($124M) Melo is better than a 5-30 record with a Melo in the line-up for 40 minutes padding his scoring stats the first 3 quarters of the game.
The Knicks roster is practically the same as the Cavs roster (rookie coach and all), only thing is the Cavs $40M contract player Lebron James average 35 minutes, 25 pts on 18 shots per, 8 ast, 5 rb, 1 stl, 1 blk, 3 turnovers, and his Cavs team record are 19-15, because Lebron is a team-player and a 4th quarter defensive hustler scorer.
Melo 5-30 record compared to Lebron 19-15 record.
