    Thats a Billy problem, the dude have Westbrook and Durant and couldn't create a dynamic offense

    Linsanity was 6 games, Melo came back and bringing it all together was obviously difficult, the Miami Heat broke Lin's spirit, MDA got fired due to an inability to adjust, the Knicks finished the year 18-6 after he was fired and Woodson took over with Melo leading the way. You can bring up Linsanity every time but a lot of you exclude what happened when MDA got fired and the team got better after.

    I've said plenty of "negative" things about Melo, I just don't make things up like him and Billy Donovan having problems, etc..He's a player with flaws much like every other basketball.

    Defense Attorney...nice I'm going to add that to Fanboy and Public Relations nicknames.

    I'm the most unbiased person here when speaking upon Carmelo Anthony.

    You've said your side of things and its okay, you have every right to feel how you do.

    Guess it’s hard for you to understand that when a coach does not know what to do with a player who is stubborn and tough to deal with, it doesn’t automatically mean they had issues.

    I wanted Vogel and MDA as an offensive specialist. I ve been saying Harden is tailor made for his system for years. He just needed defense wing 3d guys who could actually shoot around him. I hated Mchale and I was on board with them selecting MDA. But a lot of people on here had pitchforks ready to kill Morey over defense, lol.

    Presti had the quote of the off season: Scared money don't make none.

    I think MDA took a little of his shine with: The worst we are going to be is great.

    I like that people are down on us, that means if we over perform, Harden has the "narrative" criteria for another MVP.

    Lebron already has his Hollywood narrative..Team full of youngsters and nba misfits...if they finish anywhere higher than 5th or 6th seed, he's a lock for MVP

    It's an embarrassment. I think the league is so happy with all the scoring that it doesn't want to enforce stuff like that.

    Lebron is in for a rude awakening with playing in the West.

    we were 14-0 without ariza plus the offense is the best defense...ariza s lack of offense was holding us back... that was best visible in the rare moments when he was actually able to drive to the rim, our game would look effortless, easy and ultra powerfull

    I was so happy when we fired McHale, but when I heard our next longterm coach was MDA I was pissssseeddd

    That’s exactly how I feel. Something tells me he will be injured more and more as the years go on because he will be beat down to ****. Which means the Lakers will continue to suck for the foreseeable future (lulz).. and Lebron has won his last championship and likely his last MVP of his career.

    Especially with how quitty and pouty he gets when he’s not frontrunning.

    I predict a trainwreck in LA.

    Ahh more lies from you.

    Donovan literally said Melo did everything that was asked of him.

    Why are you making things up?
