Carmelo was still taking more shots than anyone else on the team, over 3 per 36 minutes more.  (Fun fact, #2 on the team in shots per minute; Toney Douglas.  32%, 16.3 shots per 36 minutes.  )  Amare is second, though barely ahead of Lin.  I just hope that doesn't mean Melo and Amare get tons of Iso's (the Joe Johnson offense, IOW).  For his career, Melo takes 19.1 shots per 36 minutes.  This year, he's at 19.2.  So it's not like Melo wasn't getting his shots up; he was, they just aren't going in.
 
I think it was in the Howard Beck article yesterday, he mentioned how Melo was breaking off plays and trying to head into the mid post area when he should be spreading the floor out near the 3 point line.  That might make sense froma  strategy standpoint, but if you have Carmelo Anthony, he probably shouldn't be standing at the 3 point line like he is Steve Novak or something.
 
We'll see what happens.  D'Antoni wasn't a good fit for this team, and if it comes down to the coach who has a few months left on his contract, or the s tar who has 4 and who you just traded like 6 guys to get, who do you think is going to win?  Even before last night, the Knicks had baiscally an even scoring margin for the year, so they weren't as bad as the 18-24. Unless they go on a ridiculous run, they are going to be the 7th or 8th seed, at best, which means a first round exit.
