I Was At Last Night's Knicks/Jazz Game

Hey, news flash, Carmelo Anthony is a dynamite basketball player.

What is it with you Jazz fans? You can not admit that a player on another team is a talented baller? Wow.

He is undoubtedly a sublime talent. Pity that he's never really grasped that basketball is a team game and is a perennial underachiever.

Not when they can't contribute to a winning culture/team.

Another news flash: Basketball is a team game. It isn't boxing, tennis, or golf. 14 guys on the roster. Team sport. You really are only as good as your worst piece or your coaching staff.

I agree. Melo will always prevent your team from having a winning culture.

He's grasped it this season. No joke, this is a new, very different Melo out there. Ball don't stick on his hands anymore.

Why would people hate Hayward?

That's the question. I have no idea why the guy was getting such obscene insults hurled at him. Maybe you Jazz fans can clue me in on somethings I don't know about him. Did he beat his girlfriend in an elevator? I don't know. All I know the poor guy got savaged last night at the Garden and then he calmly stepped up to the free throw line, easily sunk three to send the game to OT and shut the crowd up.

Knick fans have been rooting against Gordon from the beginning of his career because he was drafted with a pick the Knicks traded away. Gordon having any success just adds to the sting of losing that pick.

must admit he was much better in that area last night for sure.

Pity he couldn't do that through his prime years.

Most of these post by Jazz fans are nothing but insults against the Knicks. That's just sour grapes. We beat the Jazz last night, it was a top game, why not just be men and take the loss as men? I gave proper respect to Hayward and Hood and Gobert. See anyone here posting good things about our stars last night Melo, Porzingis, Robin Lopez, or our D-Will?

Robin Lopez played the game of his life, 1 game doesn't make up for the fact that they paid too much for him though.

They're lucky the caps rising. Porzingis has been lauded by some on these forums since 2014, there's multiple threads about him -- His jersey being the 4th highest sold in the past few months speaks volumes. what more is there to say at this point?

D-Will was a good signing, in a bang for the buck sense -- is he really built for that NYC lifestyle though?? Getting robbed by 2 heauxs from the meatpacking district, and pictures like this are the baggage that come with D-Will..

The Jazz are easily one of the most injured teams in the league, and one of the youngest, starting 2 rookies and 1 2nd year player.. coming off a game where a 5'11" guard dropped 50+ on them... Was a great game, not worth talking **** over though - The Jazz outplayed the Knicks for the majority of the game, If Hood was featured more in the 4th and OT - The Jazz win that ****.

2 turnovers and an awful shot from Hayward in the opening minutes of OT served that game on a silver platter to the Knicks, NY tried to lose that game a few times, ultimately, the Jazz handed it to them though - after a hell of a fight..

My friends of color hate him because he looks like a privileged white guy... and he can ball. It's racist, but just the way it is...

shame

That lifestyle sunk JR Smith. However, I do think that Derrick Williams has a bit more on his shoulders than JR does.

That NY lifestyle is poison to some. In one week last month D-Will got robbed by two hoes and our young guy Cleanthony Early got shot at a seedy strip club. That's why we love Melo. Guy has more money and notoriety than anyone here in New York and he has never been in outrageous situations here. He's a decent dude and becoming a very good team player. He gets it.

Great post. Very informative.

However, I don't know if it is exactly true. Steph Curry got drafted seventh because Warriors were fully aware of our interest in him (we had the eighth pick) and we don't hate Curry over that draft selection.

He listed John Starks. lol.

Good ol' One Nut.

I've noticed a lot of opposing fans get really angry at Hayward. Maybe the idea of a white, unassuming looking guy balling against their team just doesn't sit well with them.
