You know they thought they would be golden in the Wiggins sweepstakes, and now they're gonna make the playoffs by accident

It really pains me to see that the Minnesota Timberwolves (9-10, 13th in the Western Conference) have a better record than the Toronto Raptors (6-10, 4th in the Eastern Conference) but if the season ended today the Timberwolves would be 5 spots out of the playoffs and the Raptors would have home court advantage in the first round.

What's up with the Wolves? They starters off well and it looked like Martin and Brewer were good additions for them. I'm surprised they're under .500.

Just check the evidence and continue to do so forever until you admit I'm right.
I think half the Knicks fans I argued with last year or the year before are secretly there already.
You know the drill: One of the worst playoff records ever, bad career shooting %, makes teammates worse, horrible leader, kills offensive sets, hard to coach...
Yeah, not a top player. If you like players who take lots of shots and get lots of points then you might like him. But sorry.
You sound like the same bad critics that said the same thing about Iverson, look I respect a lot of your past posts but this one I cannot agree with ya

Well Iverson had a lot of issues, he just overcame them by being a transcendent talent (and they still prevented his career from reaching the highest it could have). Kobe has some of those issues (not all), but he overcame them by being one of the greatest talents ever.
Melo is no Iverson and no Kobe. He isn't good enough to approach the game the way he does and win.

I think teams have found that Love and Pek are horrible protecting the rim. And our guards get beat off the dribble A LOT

They're not very good beyond the starters. Barea is decent, Cunningham is serviceable (but his contributions typically don't show up in a box score), Williams is gone, etc.

They need to discontinue this KG commercial with all the haters yelling at him, since all the haters are right this year... "You can't even rebound no more!"

Been MIA for a minute.
@ the East standings.
Guess the Nets want to add some drama to their forthcoming NBA title run.
Sucks that DRose is out for the season again.
I expected the Pacers to be good, but not this good.
Can't wait for their first matchup with Miami.

Give the man a break Tyson Chandler is hurt they obviously have no big to protect the rim, ppl forget how Melo played in the toughest Conf during his time Denver and did go to the Conf finals while most like to trash his playoff record ...I like to bring this up cause of the LeBron comparison when he was in Cleveland....the question I'd like ask is would Bron make the finals if he was in the west as to Cleveland playing the spurs in the finals representing the east n getting swept or would he still get a lot of heat staying in Cleveland w/o getting a chip than jumping ship to Miami. Its clear the Knicks team is horrible RIGHT NOW lets not forget Amare ain't made up to be as we once thought b4 Melo went to NYC but is it really all on Melo....

It's not all on Melo, that's not my point. The point is that he is what I've said he is.
I watch a lot of Melo. Not just the Knick games, but the press conferences, etc. I'm pretty confident in my opinion.

So your confident enough to say that Melo is not a top player anymore in the NBA?
I disagree

Atleast Melos averaging 27 & 10 
but other than that it's not looking good for him and that's my boy.
But to brighten the mood the nuggets could make the playoffs in the west currently sitting at 6 and have a high draft pick
barring the Knicks don't turn it around

Right now he is Pierce circa '05.

When I think about melo, I think about how Wade, Lebron and AI all had bad teams and were able to lead them to the playoffs. He's struggling in a TERRIBLE eastern conference.

But his early nuggets teams were bad and they went to the playoffs every year in the west.

You don't see parallels between his career and Pierce's pre-big 3 trades? I do.
