Carmelo Anthony is an enigma. He plays well for the first three quarters and then loses his mind.
In the fourth quarter of the Tonto win the Knicks had a comfortable lead until Anthony decided it was about him. Bad shots, bad judgment... scary player.
IMO, Fisher should just yank him the minute he takes a bad shot. He's going to cost us a game or two unless he sticks to the system.

Phil should consider cashing in his chips on Seraphin for a draft pick next year and sign N'Dour. Seraphin is playing his way out of town.

Does Carmelo Anthony Belong in the Second Unit?
The latest loss to Milwaukee yet again exposes what has become a toxic pattern with the Knicks for years. That is that Melo is not a franchise player and never will be. The Milwaukee game was close in the fourth quarter until Melo entered the game and proceeded to eliminate any semblance of team cohesion.
The MSG talking point is that Melo still hasn't recovered his leg strength. But honestly, his leg strength has nothing to do with bad judgment, lack of basketball IQ, and a failure to ratchet up his game as Phil had hoped.
It's time that maybe Melo might be most useful as a sixth man (JR replacement) off the bench with the hope he can score some points quickly and with the pattern of yanking him with a lead.
Calderon remains the other elephant in the Garden. He's worked his way back to being player #15 behind the available roster spot.

Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
