Tonight ball movement got the Knicks a lead and then one on one isolations by Carmelo and Stoudemire got them behind which ultimately resulted desperate jump shots and of course, a loss. Again.
You've gotta love this trade more and more everyday. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
And we can stop all this silly talk about the Knicks playing up to the level of their competition?
The new additions play to the level of their egos. Sometimes it results wins, most times it results in losses.
At the time of this post the Denver McNuggets were up by 28 points at the half over Toronto.
Yes, I am going to keep brining this up.

Hey Carmelo fans, how's your trade working out for ya?
Now, from what I heard out of rabid Carmelo fans and tabloid journalists in NYC wasn't Carmelo Anthony supposed to be 10 times better than Gallinari and Chandler combined?
Wasn't Chauncey "Mr. Bigshot" Billups supposedly an upgrade from Felton even with his 35 year old arthritic knee?
And now the Knicks are spiraling out of control and on the verge of missing the playoffs, once again becoming a lottery team.
What had happened?
Everyone likes to make the argument that the Knicks were only one game above .500 when the trade was made giving up three fifths of the team's starting lineup therefore the players traded for Marsh weren't really all that good. Yet they fail to mention that the poor play was largely due to the young guys being adversely affected by all the trade talk.
However, once joining the Denver McNuggets their play and the team began to soar. Don't believe me? Look back at the Denver box scores since the trade and you'll see for yourself that Denver's ascension is no accident since Felton, Gallinari and Chandler joined the team.
Are the McNuggets now ready to take on the Los Angeles Fakers for supremacy in the west? I don't know, but they'd have a better chance of doing it than the current roster of the New York Bricks.
Get this, we now have the great Marshmellow Anthony publicly stating that the Knicks may not jell at all this season and he's not that concerned about it.
Well, if that don't beat all.

Carmelo is not a winner
With only 3/10ths of a second left and the Knicks down by two points Jared Jeffries passed the ball correctly towards the basket hoping for a tip in to win the game.
When time expired you could see Carmelo Anthony yelling at Jeffries for not passing him the ball and this gets to my argument why Carmelo is not a winner.
There was not enough time for a catch and shoot the only chance the Knicks had was a miracle tip in but because Anthony is not a team player and doesn't understand that the best possible shot is not always coming from his hand he acted like an immature child and wrongly chastised his teammate.
I blame D'Antoni for some this also because he should have clearly stated during the timeout that there was time for only one option, the tip in, but its obvious that he didn't from the reaction of Anthony.
But I guess we all have to come to grips with the fact that when you think you can make every and any shot like Marshmellow does there is no such thing as a bad shot and never any reason why someone else should be taking any shots at all except for him.
