Y'all Do Know That The Melo And Durant Ringless Slander Is Coming, Right?

[Mic-Nificent]

So the Nets lost a game 7 at home to a banged up team and you didn't hear the slander?

Deron is Melo's age and has NEVER up to this point got the same criticism despite folks wanting to call him a top 3 PG in the game.

And nobody has been trying to argue that Deron Williams is one of the top 5 players overall in the league.

Since Deron left Utah though people have been saying he was an overrated PG.

That's not accurate, because Pierce pretty much gave the front office an Ultimatum that he'd demand a trade if they didn't do whatever it took to bring in some more talent.

Players can "demand" whatever they want Unless they're unrestricted free agents, any power moves are the result of the front office.

And AI was only 26 when all this talk about "practice" started showing up and his lack of effort.

Your point?

Is KD having press conferences talking about practice? Are people questioning his effort?

No, my point was that he was questioned for his lack of effort and leadership despite being young. It really all started at 25 for him.

And look at how many folks have given up on Josh Smith already and he's just 27.

The Iverson stuff is more to do with his personality & stuff he would do off the court. You don't hear much about KD off the court.

You get a pass either when very little is expected of you or you have legit reasons why you fukked up.

It's Melo's turn to catch heat. Awful 4th quarter in an elimination game plus losing to Indy in 6 games? Yea it's time. It's BEEN time. Durant is fine. People's expectations of DWill have lowered so he's not gonna get real criticism.

Not really Melo's fault that Amare is

Not really Melo's fault that Chandler is

Not really Melo's fault that Smith decided to go out and party rather than focus on basketball. Knicks were cooking the last month of the season, they looked like a completely different team in the playoffs.

So Dirk told damn near this same kinda team to a title but Melo can't?

So Melo disappearing in the 4th despite all the looks he was given was because of Stat and Chandler, huh?

So what else does Melo need to move forward? Spot up shooters? Big men who can post and make baskets? More rebounding role players? A PG who can dish more efficiently? What?

We just wanna know.

In typical Melo fashion it's everyone else's fault BUT Melo as the reasons why they lost in the playoffs AGAIN. Dont y'all ever get tired of defending this loser every yr like this?

Yet we're talking about his comments off the court lately, haven't we? The #2 stuff, now this. KD is a cool, collected dude, but he has to go chill somewhere. It's like no one these days understands that players don't have to say anything outside of comments about the games being played.

KD is better than AI, but let's not act like this slander on a young player is anything new.

He didn't exactly go ham, but you're lying to yourself if you don't throw any blame on how terrible JR was for the Knicks since he elbowed Terry.

Sure. JR lost focus. Chandler was garbage. Felton disappeared for whole games...but at what point does Melo ever take any responsibility for his teams failures?

When he's the reason for the failure?

Nobody will be talking about Melo and Durant this offseason after the Heat lose in the finals
