I don't think you're opinion is crazy at all. A lot of people share it, just not many on this board (no surprise there). I watched most of the Knicks games last year, and that team [I]was[/I] a disaster. What's strange is why you rip Melo for not making the playoffs last year, but give him no credit for earning the 2 seed the year before with "the same roster for the most part".

The truth is that the team was vastly different from year to year. Not that Melo got worse. And there's no one thing we can point to. They got rid of Copeland and Novak, abandoning the spread offense that resulted in so many 3's the previous year. JR Smith went from 6th man of the year to a cancer. Chandler I actually lost respect for because of his lack of effort. Felton is the worst PG in the NBA. Shumpert can't shoot. Bargs is a waste of space. The list goes on and on. Hopefully Phil Jackson can combine patience with purpose and build a contender in 3-4 years. That will give Melo one last shot, which is all we can ask for.
