发帖数: 9501 | 1 Carmelo Anthony: Knicks play better without him
Posted by Berry Tramel on March 11, 2012M at 3:02 pm
The Knickerbockers’ Carmelo Anthony played 29 minutes Sunday against the
Philadelphia 76ers. He scored 22 points. But New York lost 106-94 to the
Sixers.
That’s not unusual. On Feb. 21, 2011, the Knicks traded virtually half
their roster to Denver for Anthony, who longed for the bright lights of New
York.
Those Knicks were 28-26 before the trade. The rest of the year, they went 14
-13 with him, 0-1 without him (Anthony sat out the regular-season finale)
and then were swept in a first-round playoff series by the Celtics.
This season, Anthony has missed 10 games. The Knicks are 6-4 in those games.
Anthony has played 31 games; the Knicks are 12-19 in those games.
OK, so let’s review. The Knicks are 28-26 before Anthony’s arrival. Since
the trade, New York is 32-41 overall, including 6-5 when he doesn’t play
and 26-36 when he does.
Some other factors are involved. The Jeremy Lin emergence. Injuries to other
players. The transition of a roster overhaul.
But clearly, Carmelo Anthony serves as a warning. Trading for a superstar is
not a panacea.
Sometimes it works. Like in Miami, which added LeBron James and Chris Bosh
to Dwyane Wade. And Boston, which traded for Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen to
go with Paul Pierce.
But basketball still requires cohesion. Still requires teamwork.
The NBA trade deadline is Thursday. Much talk about Dwight Howard and Pau
Gasol and Rajon Rondo. But be careful when adding superstars. Improving the
talent base is only part of the equation.
The Knicks clearly are not a better team with Carmelo Anthony than they were
or even are without him. | n**y

发帖数: 9501 | 3 Impression of Denver Melo from Denver fans
It seems that this isn't just an off-year or an adjustment year for Melo.
Don't these already feel pretty familiar? And this was when Melo was
supposedly having his 'superstar' years.
1. " it's that Anthony doesn't finish well enough around the rim. Melo's 6'8
” and gets blocked more than any other player in the NBA"
2. "Melo's ball-hogging tendencies slow down and stagnate the offense; once
the ball goes into Anthony, teammates know they won't get it back, ball
movement stops and so does player movement."
3. "Anthony Doesn't Give Enough Energy on the Defensive End"
4. "Melo is not a leader" | d**e
