I will say though, the narrative is being laid pretty well in advance for an early playoff exit in NYC

As long as the Knicks stay within the 2-3 range, there isn’t a team below them that is knocking them out in the first round.

Doubt that the Knicks fall below Brooklyn, but the potential of a 4/5 matchup vs. Boston is really interesting.

Agreed. Hard to say anyone won or lost that trade. Things may look different, but in the end, neither team is any closer to winning a championship.

Both teams did fine.

He shouldn’t be playing at this point unless the knee is drained. He looked a little more fluid, early on, than he did in the Golden State game, but he is injured nonetheless. This is all connected to the Christmas Day fall against the Lakers.

He probably went to the locker room because he was disappointed that some crazy bitch sitting courtside did not walk out onto the court during the game and cry out Melo! … Melo! …

Carmelo told the Nuggets for two years that he was going to go somewhere else if they didn’t improve the team around him.

He was gone either way.

This allowed them to trade him and now they’re arguably better anyways. Why would Denver fans be mad at him? He was the only reason they were relevant in the first place.

Take yourself out of game, everybody calls you a punk bitch.
Stay in the game, play like shit and get injured, people call you stupid.
After your career’s over and you are suffering from debilitating injuries people tell you that you knew the risks.

At least they’re getting paid.

They’re not getting out of the 2nd round.

2nd round is further than they were used to with Melo.

He got those fans valuable players in return. They should be cheering his dumb ass now that he’s gone.

The Nuggets,

who clearly got the better of the Carmelo trade

two years ago, are 44-22, and have won 10 straight.

I think this is overstated a little. Certainly the Nuggets are playing well, but it’s not like their ceiling is any higher than it was when Melo was there. They’re not getting out of the 2nd round.

If they pay for the tickets, buy the gear and then a player bitches out and doesnt honor his guaranteed contract, a little booing is not the end of the world. Going outside of good taste and social responsibiltiy (like the death threats to family or something) is unacceptable if it happens.

i like that but “overcome knee injury” seems strong.
Embarrassed Carmelo Quits When Down 26?

Maybe. Seemed a little sensationalized. I always give athletes credit when it comes to injuries. Those guys hate playing bad/losing so much they’re not going to come up with a reason to pull themselves out of the game unless it’s pretty legit.
