Nets vs Knicks – Everything Working For One, Falling Apart For the Other
Just over a week ago, things looked great for the New York Knicks. Now, after losing 103-80 to the Brooklyn Nets, their fourth consecutive defeat, it’s back to that lowest of the low point, while their rivals are playing the best basketball in the Eastern conference aside from the Indiana Pacers.

New York Knicks – Carmelo Anthony With Some Overtime Brilliance
The return of Tyson Chandler had quite the impact on the defense for the New York Knicks, but eventually their 107-101 win over the Milwaukee Bucks belongs mostly to Carmelo Anthony, who had an awful shooting night until the second overtime, where the team’s big star rectified all the damage done by J.R. Smith and Andre Bargnani.

New York Knicks – Carmelo Anthony Playing for a Terrible Team
Last year doesn’t mean anything, and simply being called the New York Knicks doesn’t mean that a badly built team is going to do well. Carmelo Anthony might be beginning what is going to be the worst season of his career, even if his scoring does stabilize at some point.

Bobcats vs Knicks – Carmelo Anthony Is in Big Trouble
It’s bad enough that the New York Knicks look simply awful at the beginning of this season.

New York Knicks – Carmelo Anthony Not Getting Too Much Help
The New York Knicks are going to look the same way as they did last year: Carmelo Anthony taking most of the shots, while Iman Shumpert and Raymond Felton try to help. Andrea Bargnani isn’t worth the money he’s being paid, while Amare Stoudemire isn’t even healthy enough to play. Maybe when J.R. Smith returns things will look a bit better.

Carmelo Anthony – Can’t Win the Championship He Wants to Bring the New York Knicks

New York Knicks – Carmelo Anthony Isn’t Someone to Build a Team Around
The title might be a bit misleading. It’s possible to build a team around Carmelo Anthony, there’s no doubt about that, but if the New York Knicks still think that giving him the kind of money a max extension is about and a say in his next batch of teammates will get them anywhere near an NBA title they couldn’t be anymore wrong.

New York Knicks – Carmelo Anthony Isn’t Going to Lead This Team to Anything
A team built around the scoring abilities of Carmelo Anthony is destined to fail, and it has nothing to do with the selfishness of J.R. Smith or the fact that Amare Stoudemire played a total of 33 minutes during the series. James Dolan wanted a superstar to build around, but chose the wrong one, and all the coaching prowess of Mike Woodson isn’t going to matter when the New York Knicks play in the most predictable and easy to counter way possible.

New York Knicks – Mike Woodson & Carmelo Anthony Need to Come Up With Answers and Fast
Aside from an impressive run in the second game of the series, it keeps looking like the New York Knicks are being outplayed and bullied around in almost every moment of their conference semifinal series, with Mike Woodson doing too much tinkering when it comes to his lineups, while Carmelo Anthony is falling into all the categories his critics keep putting him in over the years, and in short simply playing terrible, selfish and failing basketball.
