"...And if you don't finish your vegetables, Daddy's gonna take you to a Knicks game. "


After last night's loss to Dallas, Carmelo ( after going 2 for 12) said:

“I think anytime you go from the early part of the season, just having the ball and me just having the ball and being the distributor, and now just running the wings and waiting for the ball to come to me, that’s quite an adjustment for myself.”

Sad. So much talent, so little understanding of the game. He's like a guitar player who only cares about his solo with no concept of the song.
