Like the Celtics game Baron Davis was the best point guard going into the final minutes of the fourth quarter and of course D'Antoni pulls both him and Harrelson out of the game bringing back Lin and Anthony to seal the deal and hand over the game to the Dallas Mavericks.Mikey is going to "coach" his way right out of a job and the sooner the better.
As I began writing this post Marshmelo went 2 for 12 from the field and about 50% from the free throw line in addition to a bunch of careless low basketball IQ blunders. Marshmelo was more preoccupied with talking shit to Shawn Marion than actual rotating the ball, cutting to the basket and playing defense.
This notion that Carmelo has to comeback on the floor and take the final shots is ridiculous. He sucked last night and Amare was red hot. Are the experts really attempting to argue that it is more important to make Carmelo feel loved and wanted than actually winning games?!? Really?!?
Right now the Knicks are a better basketball team with Anthony off the floor but Knicks fans are stuck with him for the next five years as the face of the franchise. What a fucking joke.
How long is this team going to allow their opponents to physically abuse Jeremy Lin without retaliation? The Mavericks were not even faking swings at the ball when they hit Lin in the head over and over again. But Lin will continue to get battered and bruised as long as other teams know there will not be a price to pay. More signs of a soft and gutless basketball team.
The Knicks Lose Again, Dallas 95 - Knicks 85
