Carmelo Anthony May Sit Out With Deep Cut on Finger

[D-Leethal]

This.

His general handle, and possibly impacts on his passing and catching may all be impacted.

Just think of STAT and his bandage wrapped hand in the playoffs... more than a few fumbles.

STAT had a huge laceration in the palm of his hand. Did you see that tweeted pic of his injury? That **** was vicious. Melo has 5 stitches in his finger. If he plays, its shouldn't effect him too bad. Guys play with messed up fingers all the time in this league, Kobe did it for like 2 straight seasons. Ronnies doing it right now.

Melo should play just for the attention he brings on Miami's defense. He will spread the floor. If he cant shoot or handle properly, then he can still be a floor spreader and cause Miami's defense to guard him.

Yet another national TV game that may be ruined due to a star player sitting out. Stern must be very pleased. lol I think melo should at least suit up and go out there even if he does not play alot. Come on this is a huge statement/showcase game for the NBA. To have it ruined would be a huge blow

Yeah we have no shot with this deep Knicks team without Melo

cause Miami hasnt been strugling at all against bad teams... Right?

[VillaMaravilla]

We got this with or without Melo.

but melo has to play cause miami will look to embarrass ny tonight either way. They will be super motivated tonight

[micks4real]

Im sure they will but Its a win-win for us bro... If we win without Melo, Knicks will move up in public opinion. If they loose it"ll be the Melo-less Knicks that lose against a champ team.

I want to see if our bigs can be utilized to control pace against these midgets lol.

he better play, miami will lose if melo sits.

[StoicSentry]

he better play, miami will lose if melo sits.

LOL I love you for this.

Justin exit please

[Missing56&33]

If Melo doesnt play I hope Woody gives Cope some big minutes. I wanna see what he can do in the spotlight against a top team

He should give Cope some mins anyway he was abusing Beasley the other night. I think hes a tough cover ....and may give Haslem some problems. We have a talented team....Woodson have to experiment a little.

[PJAF]

Melo or no Melo Knicks need to move the ball, play defense by not letting Lebron and Wade get layups.

[money millz]

i am a knicks fan and I dont post on this forum that much but i do check it out once in a while but I gotta say justinnum1 is the whackest kid on here

[justinnum1]

LOL I love you for this.

It's true.

Justin exit please
