I have a problem with
some of the criticism toward Carmelo Anthony, they say he doesn’t make his team
better they also say he can’t win well I beg to differ. From the 1995-1996
season through the 2002-2003 season Denver DID NOT make the playoffs as a
matter of fact the season prior to drafting Carmelo they won a grand total of
17 games. Melo's rookie year they make the playoffs and made it every year after
that. Some will point out that he lost in the 1st round 7 of eight
years while in Denver. During that time Carmelo lost to the Spurs and the Lakers 5 times, once to Minnesota, once
to Utah, and once to the Clippers. Out of all of those series he may have had
the better team once. Since coming to NY he lost to Boston, and Miami I’m no
genius but I doubt he was favored in either of those series. Not to mention NY
had not won one a playoff game in ten years prior to him dropping 40 on the
Heat this year.
Now the media is saying
the pressure is on him to “win now” unless I’ve been asleep and the Knicks have
Chris Paul, or Dwight or Bynum there is no pressure on him to “win now” because
he is not on a championship team. Duuuh. The Knicks are a middle of the road
team, and if I blame Carmelo for anything (other than playing no D) it’s
forcing a trade to a team that has 2 rings in its’ history with no real young
talent, and no cap space.
