Also sadly, if we didn't waste a few minutes on Amare and instead played KMART or Cole or Bargs instead, we win this game. But oh well, there were also dumb mistakes down the stretch also. I think that non continuation call is correct, but man Melo got the shot up quick and didn't take an extra dribble
From this angle, I don't know what this ref saw to call it non shooting. Oh well, Felton needs to get healthy and rest. Use Toure Murray oh and that Beno fellow
I just cant watch the guy anymore without wanting to throw something at the tv. He invites guys to go around him. Im not being sarcastic with that..he actually invites guys so he gets help. Then, when a guy gets around him and help is late...he gives the person that fails to help him a look. EVERYTIME. If your point guard refuses to play defense, you put every single one of your other 4 out of position. I mean..he is asking Barg to switch off with him on a point guard. I do not understand why he doesnt get reamed out by Woodson. The Knicks need to make a move for a point guard. He doesnt need to do anything but play defense and dish...period.
The only way to get a PG is to trade Shump. They do have Beno, Pablo, and Murray who is supposedly a defensive specialist. If you raise their minutes, and maybe even start Pablo or Beno, you can limit Felton. Dolan loves Felton because Felton was pissed when he was traded and wanted to play here. Dolan rewards loyalty to a fault.
Melo might be getting fined, after they rescind that KMART "flagrant" foul Chris Herring @HerringWSJ 18s Anthony, on fouls NYK gave Harden: "We didn't give him calls. [Officials] gave him calls." Chris Herring @HerringWSJ 23s Anthony, on foul disparity between he and Harden: "For me, you've gotta see blood to get a call."
Chris Herring @HerringWSJ 3m Knicks expressing quite a but of disbelief w the FT disparity. Felton started explaining his thoughts & got cut off by team PR official.
You could see Melo was really frustrated today. He slammed a basketball once after a play, refs were really aware not to T him there because had the earlier teach from the Howard/Melo double tech. He handled himself better than last year, but you could see he though he was getting nothing vs to what Harden got.
Harden is one of the biggest floppers in the game, I think hes been fined twice so far this season for flopping yet the refs still give him a lot of calls. I can understand his frustration he was getting absolutely hacked in the low block and got very few calls.
Went to the game last night...It was very buzz crowd. THE KNICKS GOT SCREWED! I cant believe the amount of times Melo and Shumpert were hacked and got no called. Just terrible and that last shot by Melo should have counted. Really fucking annoying. Fun to see Lin and Melo go beast though
Important game vs the Hawks tonight, lets see if Melo can carry over the momentum from his last game and have another outstanding game. JR Smith needs to start hitting some damn shots as well.
It all boiled down to that hack-a-howard after the 2 minutes. What a bad play. You HAVE to be aware of things like that. And failing to realize there's only 2.5 on the shot clock after woodson writes up a play specifically for that? Bad IQ. Someone said it above.
