LOL

omg that knicks possession is too much

pacers lost, making the blazers the #1 team in the nba ;)

wow WHODATHUNK!

ya crazy

The #1 record in the nba, for sure, and with the pacers in the east and the blazers in the west, there's a darn good case for #1 in the nba, too. The heat seem a bit sluggish so far, but it is always hard to count out the current champs.

heat r on cruise control they prob go straight from the beach to the game

it's like, you guys climbed back up from 15 down in the third quarter. MELOOOO WHYYY

Melo is the worst, such a waste. Just not a very heady player.

just all the more reason to pull the trigger on that blake griffin deal that makes all the sense in the world

shd make them throw in chris paul tho only fair

maybe doc too

that last play is the '13 knicks in a nutshell, just wow.

Lowe I think made the point how it sucks that schumpert's skill set is just not developing like one would hope.. because he's always standing around (because of constant melo isos).

wait i thought the trade was griffin for love, though griffin for melo also intrigues

lol that manu play, it was a travel first of all, and if it's a foul it was obv a continuation, 2 bad calls refs cmon

duncan has looked great the past couple weeks or so

I would never trade Griffin if I were the Clips. Even if his production has been slightly below expectations, he basically reignited that half-dead franchise.

As for the Knicks, I'm not sure. I never liked the melo trade and I never liked melo, but I still feel like they should be able to get more than Griffin and a couple of randos for him.

i wld trade him for love in one second xp

lol r u srs, melo is bolting after the season and griffin is like 24 and locked into his contract for i think 4 years, they do melo for griffin straight up in a heartbeat

ha tell me ur being sarcastic

xp

i wld trade him for love in one second xp

oh no doubt, love would make that team basically unbeatable

i would trade griffin for lots of ppl if i were the clips, he's a good but limited player

he's very very good but ideally they'd like a guy who could shoot the ball in that spot

wait i thought the trade was griffin for love, though griffin for melo also intrigues

oh i was going by the simmons video lol

oh yeah that article lol knicks fans

comments on that sbnation article are absurd

Would I trade Griffin for Anthony? I think I would because Carmelo could slot right in at the PF with Jordan backing him defensively and CP3 consistently getting him easy shots.

yeah man just slot melo right in at pf shouldn't be a problem

he played great there last year!

tho obvs defensively there could be some issues, jordan isnt exactly tyson chandler

i'd sort of love melo as a smallball 4 for the clips, the problem is their weaknesses generally would be the same and they'd struggle against the spurs and grizzlies bigs

kinda think melo is broken too idk if anyone could fully make him behave

like hed play unselfish swing the ball take good shots then youre in a close playoff game and he just starts... dribbling

melo having to guard an elite power forward pretty much every night in the west would be pretty great stuff

yeah it would be... problematic

lol ryan hollins just chill man lol

wow kobe's averaging 6.3 turnovers since he came back

but they would also have to guard melo so, anyway i would not do that trade

....tony parker just airballed a FT

i would if i were the knicks, what's blake locked in for, another 4 years? xp

yeah the knicks obvs do that deal no brainer

i was speaking from the clippers pov if that was at all unclear

I wouldn’t trade Melo for Griffing straight up, then you expect to throw Iman Shumpert in the deal? Whoever wrote this article is completely lost. Melo can score in any way he wants. Griffin’s success is predicated on having a an above average point guard, which the Knicks do not. Knicks already have enough problems scoring. Griffin is in his fourth season and his game is still the same. He’s a 60% FT shooter and doesn’t play defense, and you think that trading the scoring champ for that guy is a good idea? STOP IT.

is there a tumblr that just reposts knicks fan internet comments

would follow

diaw is tooling on the clips bigs

gonna fall asleep like this after reading kevin's blake for melo post
