Stunts, Blunts & Basketball: The 2013-14 New York Knicks Season Thread

Melo: Amar’e should ‘move’ on to another reason for woes
LOS ANGELES — Carmelo Anthony dismissed Amar’e Stoudemire’s theory the Knicks’ troubles stem from a lack of ball movement, saying the big man is barking up the wrong tree.

Of course, the implication is the culprits are Anthony and J.R. Smith, both of whom have reputations for playing too much isolation ball. Anthony instead claimed the Knicks have stunk out the court on the other end.

“It’s just defense at this point,’’ Anthony said. “The easiest thing to do is try to point fingers and trying to figure out what’s going on — [like] ball movement. At the end of the day it’s defense, we’re not guarding anybody.”

“It’s easy to do because at the end of the day, I have the ball most of the offense,’’ Anthony said. “When you hear that, where it’s coming from, why is it being said, the real reason we’re not winning is we’re not defending. We’re not believing or trusting in one another on the defensive end.’

“I’m not going there with you on that,’’ Woodson said. “Melo’s having another solid season. Melo’s doing what he’s supposed to do. Everybody else has to do what they have to do. Nobody’s shooting the ball extremely well. But everybody’s getting shots.’’

This whole mess started at the 2009 NBA Draft. They fukked that pick up so badly. It was like they couldn't get Curry so they didn't know what to do

DeMar DeRozan

All of these PG's are better than fukking Raymond Felton. They could've traded down and got one of those point guards. They put too much on the summer of 2010

Kobe: Contract won’t nix big name (like Melo)

LOS ANGELES — Kobe Bryant said his contract extension hasn’t hindered the Lakers’ ability to do “something special’’ this summer as they look to reload — potentially stealing Carmelo Anthony from the Big Apple.

“Yeah, we have the opportunity to do that,’’ Bryant said of adding a max player. “I don’t know even know legally what I can say and not say about pending free agents and things like that, so I’ll kind of stay away from that, but we have the ability to do something special."

Former Knick and Net Shawne Williams said he can foresee the Kobe-Melo hookup.

“I can imagine ’cause I believe that he’s one of Kobe’s good friends,” Williams said. “And I believe that Melo is one them guys that probably needs Kobe. Just the mentality, just to rub off on him, because Kobe has a crazy mentality and a crazy work ethic. I feel like Melo probably needs that.”
