Melo is soft I knew he wouldn't play

Wow, a Net fan insult a Knicks player?! Ive never heard of such a thing. Let me cut your finger down to the bone and watch how "soft" you are.

If it wasnt LAST NIGHT, Melo would be out there.

.....?

A guy answered the tweet saying "Stern fines the Knicks $250,000" Which I assume is what he is laughing at.

I'd venture to say he wanted to play but the trainers didnt want to risk it. Why get injured further with a 1 game advantage (head to head) vs the heat?

And yeah, this. Nice to see a Net fan being level headed. So few of you on this site. Kudos

I know someone who would haven't given a damn about his shooting percentages or "risk of further injury" and still play.

Yeah that's obviously why melo I siting it out

Yeah take a chance in game 17 of 82

But when that game is a marquee game against the defending champs, the rival team with the 2 rival superstars of the same draft class as him?


Players savor this moment and put that big red circle when the NBA Schedule comes out in the offseason. You simply don't miss these marquee games unless you really can't walk.

This game means nothing in the long haul though. I don't blame Melo one bit. I'm disappointed, but its the right basketball move.....

Knicks getting stomped tonight

Id love to see the excuses Net fans make if the Knicks beat the Heat without Melo tonight. Not saying its happening, it would just be funny to watch.

Carmelo not playing?

That's some weak sauce ****!


Man up son! Kobe plays with freakin broken fingers. You have stitches bro. WTF?!!?

Stitches are harder to play with than broken fingers. You can tape broken fingers together and deal with the pain. Its possible that stitches could rip open mid-game. Not to take away from Kobe of course. Just a little medical heads up.

Just stating the obvious, I'd argue that for my own player. Still hate the Knicks though

[xxplayerxx23]

Excuse would be Miami didn't care

[29$JerZ]

Stern will fine the Knicks for not playing Melo and STAT

Just stating the obvious, I'd argue that for my own player. Still hate the Knicks though

Still hate the Nets too, no worries!

Bobcats are better than the team you lost too Tuesday

Joking aside, it sucks, but id rather Melo sit than tear his finger open
