    Since Melo got to New York he has not done much. I expected him to put up some good numbers last sunday with Lin. But he is not doing much.

    I think he's gonna step up if Lin starts playing like a pure point. The Melo factor is there too.

    when it comes to point guarding u either have it or don't, if ya ass ain't come to the league playing like a pure point , u ain't gonna start playing like one any time soon.. the guy lacks the decision making in hitting his team mates with a pass, there was so many times where he missed an open teammate, or a slashing Amare, then add that he has suspect dribble skills... he's lack passing ability.. he's just a scorer..

    Idk whats up with Dude..Its like mentally hes not all the way there. And it has nothing to do with his brother because Amare been trash way before dude got in that accident.

    Hes not getting alot of touches and he rarely gets the ball to make a play for himself or for whoever. I feel bad because dude was a monster with the knicks before Melo got there. I just feel bad that he only got to feel like the man for half a season. Dude is an afterthought now when you think about the Knicks. I now see that Amare wouldn't have been as good of a 3rd option with the heat as bosh.

    i think Amare wants out of off NY, he never wanted the Melo trade to happen, don't believe all the bulls ? the media is spewing about him wanting to play with Melo, he wanted Melo to come there as a Free Agent.

    He was never happy with that trade
    #2, Donnie Walsh practically got fired, not technically tho, DOnnie Walsh was the character the got the knicks outta that Isiah Thomas BS.

    u may be wondering what that has to do with Amare??? well everything, Amare dosen't like where the ? the organization is heading.

    samething that happened to Larry Johnson and Cris Webber. they got injured and turned into nothing but jump shooters. He just doesn't have that explosiveness anymore.

    Word? You talked to him did he tell u this?

    ? outta here u ben wallace lookin herb you speculatin

    Melo F'd up the whole dynamic the knicks had

    Be careful what u wish for

    ? i live in NY u ? , amare, D'antoni, and walsh kept on singing the same tune, that they were "happy with what they had" ,
    there was a reason the trade was a last minute thing, cause the owner overrided the front offices decision and wanted to sell tickets, this is a common fact in NY

    James Dolan knows a great b-ball mind, so Isiah is still calling the signals in NYC, no matter how long DStern stays mad at him/colludes him from NBA employment

    that ? isiah thomas needs to be colluded from NYC period, if u see that ? shoot him on site, the reward will be an isiah thomas -less New York

    i like dukes as a player , as an individual he cool, but any where near the knicks is a ? NO NO
