OMG! 2 in a row! The Knicks, left for all but dead by most people suddenly are riding a 2 game winning streak.
It seems as though a component in the teams 2 wins has been Carmelo letting loose the reins of the scoring onus and letting some others get involved in putting the points up on the board. Granted, Brooklyn and Orlando aren't exactly the cream of the league... but hey, 2 wins in a row is 2 wins in a row.
Carmelo, apparently may be having some type of epiphany. Here's what he said:
"I wanted to try to do something a little different to see if it worked," he said. "Me scoring 30 wasn't working."
Perhaps he's heard all of the bad press he's been getting from people like Colin Cowherd who has recently been thrashing Carmelo as having "no self awareness" and saying that nobody wants to play with him.
I think Carmelo can do himself a world of good by continuing on this recent change of tactics. With Carmelo being such a Syracuse icon I always want him to do well and to succeed at the NBA level. All of the recent negativity toward him and his style of play has been disheartening as a Syracuse fan. I'm hoping that this is the start of something positive for him.
