Carmelo Admits to Dogging It
Carmelo Anthony said that since Mike Woodson took over he’s had focus and energy he hasn’t had all season. It’s not like this is game 5 of the season. It’s game 45 and he finally decides to try on defense. What a guy! It’s good to know that our 18 million dollar a year man decided to start trying. Now it would be nice if he could remember how to shoot again too.
What pisses me off the most is that the Knicks have a much better chance of getting out of the first round if we finish the season as the 6th seed and play the Magic instead of the Heat or Bulls. We have 19 games to make up 3. That’s doesn’t leave much room for error. I can’t help but think if Melo graced us with some effort a few games earlier our road to the 6th seed would be much easier. And if the plan was to get D’Antoni fired don’t half-ass it, just completely tank and let management make a decision 20 games ago.
Don’t get me wrong, we’re on a 5 game winning streak and everything seems great now, but if this is the kind of personality we’re dealing with who knows when he’s going to lose his motivation again. He had 18 million reasons not to the first few months of the season and that didn’t seem to work.

Knicks Roster Mid-Season Grades
Grades:
Carmelo Anthony – B: He played too much iso-ball in the beginning of the season, but since coming back from his injury has been making a huge effort to move the ball around. His shot is way off right now but we expect him to look more like himself after the all-star break.
Mike Bibby – F: I know he’s getting old and he’s lost a step, but how did he forget how to shoot and pass as well? We had to play shooting guards at the point because he was too bad to play more than five minutes.
Tyson Chandler – A: Exactly what we wanted when we signed him. Excellent defender, low post presence and when a good PG is playing can be a factor on offense too. He’s currently leading the league leader in field goal percentage. Needs to calm down on techs or he’s going to be suspended for a number of games in the second half. Continue reading
