The Knicks are taking retardation to a new level.

None of that matters. I've never seen such a disinterested team since the Z-Bo/Curry year. Even Porzingis looks checked out, probably from being ignored while Melo and Rose get theirs. Melo struggles to make it back on D half the time.

EDIT: I do find it funny these lazy rear end in a top hat were already throwing the new coach under the bus in preseason.

Melo stuff

The Knicks were really fun to watch before we traded fun players and abandoned the offense for ISO-Melo. Melo wasn't having any Linsanity (also, really fun to watch) either.

For sure, but who else is a free agent next year? They're not getting Curry. Maybe just tank a year and then go after Chris Paul or something? I think assuming any kind of logic here might be a mistake.

Wait two years to pair yet, another aging superstar with Melo? Give it up.

Zingis' game has definitely matured since last year. The wild drives to the hole are less frequent and he's been playing better off the ball, letting the game come to him if you will.

For a great player Melo is so god damned bad. I hate watching his game. I really really hate it. Sometimes he throws perfect bullet passes just to prove he could if he tried which he doesn't.

This, so much this. Last night might've been the worst I've ever seen Melo be the worst Melo. I'd be happy with an outright release at this point.

"Carmelo a lot of times wants to hold the ball longer than -- we have a rule: If you hold a pass two seconds, you benefit the defense. So he has a little bit of a tendency to hold it for three, four, five seconds, and then everybody comes to a stop," Jackson said in an interview

Color me a bit optimistic, but I did not see much (if any) iso Melo last night. They were mostly either catch and shoots, or quick moves off the pass. Maybe this is the year we go over .500

He was close last year, and apparently moving to the Warriors only redoubled his fans efforts.

All of Georgia votes for Zaza, every day, on every computer they use. They're second only to Chinese fans in all star game mobilization.

I like to think of the fan vote being changed to 50% of the ballot as the Zaza Rule.

Also SMH at Rose having more votes than Lowry, gently caress off forever NY.

I don't think it's NY voting for him, just name recognition. Besides, you guys have an entire country to stuff ballots. Get up.

Carmelo quote of the night for last night: "I don't think I'm the only playmaker in the league."

Full quote:

"You ask me a question if he thinks I’d want to play with him?’’ Anthony said. “Yes. I do think he’d want me to play with him. I don’t think he wouldn’t. But I don’t know if that comment was about me. I don’t think I’m the only playmaker in the NBA.’’


I'm trying to imagine if Tony Snell was still there.
