I look at their roster and they have a really great squad of players but for whatever reason, cant seem to play together. Was it D'Antoni's fault? I guess we will find out now that he is gone. Or is it Melo's fault. 2-8 since his return. Lin leading the way they were 7-0. But the schedule has been tougher on NYK since Melo's return with games against SAS, Bulls, Mia etc...
But looking at their roster, it just screams talent.
Chandler is your beast rebounder and defender who is also good for 10 or so ppg. He is one of the best defensive bigmen in the league. Amare is a scorer and low post threat. Good for a double double most nights and is alright on the defensive end.
Melo is a bit of a liability on the defensive end but he is a flat out superstar. Isnt afraid to take the big shots, can be relied upon as a BIG time scorer. You need at least one superstar to win a title. He is it for the Knicks.
Landry Fields I just love. A lot of energy, can score, defend, gets up and down the floor, bit of an athlete.
At PG is where they struggled, then Jeremy Lin arrives. I love his energy, he can flat out score, gets his teammates involved. His only problem is his ability to take care of the ball. He need to reign his TO rate in a little.
Then the bench goes deep. Novak is your lights out spread the floor 3 point shooter. Jeffries is long, good defensively, brings energy. Baron Davis can still get it done. Very handy backing up Lin. He racks up 10 plus assists in about 10 minutes off the bench. Can still score too. JR Smith was a great pick up. Athletic, attacks the rim. Can score and hit the 3. Then the rookie, Shump, who is giving you almost 10ppg off the bench.
I just think they have a terrific roster and for whatever reasons, it just aint working? Anybody wanna have a stab and why. Is it all Melo's fault?
