True. But consider the sources, then and now,and it's not surprising.
You could try and make arguments against the points I make in a reasonable manner like I did with CTO or you can play childish games and call me "upset" and things of such nature. Either way you're only going to make yourself look foolish.

Just had that conversation with a few other posters (primarily football board folks) the other day.

You should be more surprised that it was surprise to you.
Someone will argue Kevin Durant...and they'd be wrong. Melo can score in far more ways than KD can who literally cannot score with his back to the basket.44cuse
I fail to see how his donations of money to the program, his appearances, etc, affect his play in the NBA. But please go ahead and inform me.
I think that you've completely missed the point.
Ok so you have nothing. Got it.
They don't, and I'm pretty sure that nobody in this thread made that causal connection. Other than you, of course.
I just tell the truth. If you want to put on your orange colored glasses like half of this forum then go ahead. But when someone calls you out on it be prepared to defend yourself with an actual argument.
You're just all over the place.
Nothing funnier than unintentional comedy...

There's a good chance I'll get banned for this and I don't care. It'll be worth it.
You're a first-class douche bag. Your response to CTO wasn't reasonable, it was childish. Whether it's Carmelo Anthony, Donovan McNabb or Joe Biden, they will always be part of the Syracuse family no matter what they do. You will never be a part of that family. It doesn't matter if you're from Syracuse, live in Syracuse or went to Syracuse (doubtful)...you don't belong. You don't count. You're nothing.

Wade Lebron and Bosh were awesome tonight no reason to hate Melo for that.
Heck the knicks shot I think 67 percent at one point in the third quarter.
The 30 to 18 point difference in the paint in the first half said alot. More then half Miamis first half points were in the paint.
IMO,
Sadly Melo has got to be the hardest superstar to build a championship contending team around.
The guy is just so dominant in high post isolation its tough to say what will best aid him. He has no reason to step out outside of 18 feet, but the game is so physical it has to take a toll.
Lynn will be good, but I would rather see Melo with a strong or tall dominant low post scoring big who knows how to seal off and attack the basket violently like Griffin or Blair.
Kmart, Amare, and NeNe are not that guy. Let Melo look to drive or shoot the midrange jumper all game long. With the right player I really believe Melo could put up 40 plus in the playoffs every other game.
That one play where he swung around Lebron and boxed out for the offensive board and got fouled was awesome.

I think the people who rip Melo and other former Cuse players somehow feel intellectually superior when they do so. In their minds we are all homers, yet they in their infinite wisdom are so much smarter than all of us 
As far as Melo in the playoffs, lets put Melo and his Denver team in the Eastern Conf during his time there and put Lebron and his Cavs team in the Western Conf against San Antonio and Los Angeles every year and see how different their resume's look.
Melo deserves criticism for allowing Denver to gut the Knicks roster when he got traded, however the Knicks have quickly built up talent so im not sure thats really a valid criticism although if they could have kept Gallinari it wouldve been a big help.
Last year Amare and Billups went down in the beginning of the Boston series, once that happened it was game over. Cant fault Melo for that.
This year the Knicks are facing the best team in the NBA at full strength meanwhile the Knicks are without their entire starting backcourt in Lin and Shumpert. Amare has been injured down the stretch and just came back 5 games before the playoffs. Tyson Chandler, the likely DPOY could barely play Game 1 due to the flu and was still heavily affected by it in Game 2. Now, we find out Amare destroyed his hand on a fire extinguisher and may miss Game 3...lol, yeaaaa all Melo's fault im sure.
Knicks have a championship contending core in Lin, Shump, Melo, Chandler...unfortunately the elephant in the room is Amare. He does not fit with this team and his contract doesnt allow us to make any major roster moves. They need to find someway to move him because if they dont, im not sure they will ever win anything. Maybe they can convince him to become a bench player but his contract is still a killer since we likely wont have enough money to resign guys who produce like JR Smith and Steve Novak.
