Fuck this shit I'm out of here


It took Carmelo Anthony one season of playing around other talented players and sacrificing his game in order to play team ball to finally say 'Fuck this shit I'm out of here'.

According to Marc Berman in today's New York Post, Carmelo Anthony stated in his exit interview after the Thunder were bounced out of the playoffs that he is no longer willing to come off the bench and sacrifice his game like a good little soldier.

Anthony attempted to qualify his statements by saying that he is playing for legacy now, not necessarily money. That he has a lot left in his body and his game and is not suited to be sitting on the bench or sacrificing his shots for the betterment of the team.

No shit, I told you idiots how selfish this fool was years ago.

You guys attempted to say that Anthony was just being a ball hog because he didn't have any players around him during his time with the Knicks. You argued that Anthony had to always take the first and last shot no matter what.

So what was the excuse for him this past season Carmelo fans? He was on the same team as Michael Westbrook, an mvp candidate and Paul George who will be the most coveted free agent after the playoffs.

Anthony was chastised for his laziness and inability to play defense and box out which he attempted to do more of but that kind of effort takes energy away from his jump shot which he certainly didn't like.

In game 5 against the Utah Jazz, Carmelo was on the bench when the Thunder rallied back from a 25 point deficit proving that he has just been in the way all year. I think this epiphany for Anthony during that run was the fuel for his argument with assistant coach Maurice Cheeks over returning to the game.

This past season Carmelo could not be a blackhole stopping all ball movement or jacking up whatever shot he wanted because for the first time he played with a point guard who was not only a bigger star than him but most importantly the true leader of the team.

Even with 28 million dollars guaranteed to him next season Anthony's bitching about all the sacrifices he's made coming to Oklahoma City and playing this way and he's not sure if he wants to continue in this role. All because in his mind he has so much left to give.

This fucking guy is incredible.

I am not surprised at his feelings and that he is still the selfish prick the Knicks acquired for a decade of futility. I am shocked that it took him this long to say it publicly.

"I'm not sacrificing no bench role" said Anthony. Of course you're not.

Now you get it?

Now wait a fucking minute. What the hell did James Dolan say the other day?

“Basketball is different than hockey,” Dolan said. “A great player in hockey is the difference, but a great player in basketball is the team."

What asshole?

It took you damn near a decade and that god awful Carmelo Anthony era for you to finally get it through your fucking head?

What did you think Donnie Walsh was doing?

What do you think I have been saying since the inception of this blog?
Now you get it?

After a book comes out detailing how Isaiah Thomas was behind the scenes working behind Donnie Walsh's back to get you to intervene and screw this team?

I hate this guy so much. Its because of him that I can never cheer for the Knicks again. The divorce is final and he got the team.

The Formula for the Knicks to Win NOW!

I stayed away from critiquing this team because Carmelo Anthony was finally gone and I thought the Knicks were going to have a chance to begin turning things around.

Well  after half a season there is one thing we know for certain and that is the Knicks can beat the Nets. Other than that they kind of suck.

It would have been nice had the Knicks gotten an entire season out of Porzingas and finally made the playoffs but I fear that KP might not be durable enough to last an entire season and that dramatically changes how the brain trust must think about assembling this team.

It seems to me that the only way to stop the likes of the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets is an older version of basketball.

A version of basketball that slows the game down, plays defense first, second and third and has big men who can play the post to wear out a Draymond Green and Kevin Durant, Ryan Anderson and Clint Capela if they are ever going to compete for a championship any time soon.

Enough of Porzingas running around like he's a two guard or believing that he is the next Nowitzki. In order for the Knicks to win a championship before Joe Benigno retires from WFAN KP must become the next Larry Bird and the front office must look for the next Kevin McHale and Robert Parish either in free agency or the draft.

Who will be the future point guard between Ntilikina and Mudiay will sort itself out when we find out who is the smartest point guard not the most dynamic and athletic.

I am not certain if Hornacek is the coach that can take a reconfigured team built on size, defense and slowing the game down but if he can't he has to go.

The Knicks certainly can't grab and hand check like teams of yesterday but remember for the old Celtics it was about playing smart, moving without the ball and big men who knew how to play defense and position for rebounds. The exact formula that can in my opinion neutralize today's mega-teams.

The Knicks can very easily put such a team together very quickly with KP sliding perfectly into the Larry Bird role if you can brainwash the Dirk Nowitzki foolishness out of his mind.

That is the formula for the New York Knicks to win now. Let's see if they'll do the smart thing.
