I know it will sound pretty strange but it was Kawhi who made Melo going that way...He knows perfectly where his team mates are and where to make the offensive player go to be in trouble, the defense of the Spurs is really out of this world, probably the best of the last 10 years if not more
If melo took it and missed, hes choking and kawhi locked up that ballhog, if melo passes up a double teamed shot for a semi contested calderon 3, he made a bad pass and still choked. Spurs played really good defense but theres no winning for melo either way haters r always gunna bash him.
Im a big Kawhi fan but lets not overlook that Melo did play good defense on him too. Most of Carmelo shots didnt came from bricks but from putbacks under the rim. Plus he scored twice on Kawhi in the 4th. Just like the game against Jimmy Butler, people hype Kawhi a lot but dont give enough credit to his opponents, Jimmy Butler locked him up twice in the 4th when the game really matters. With that being said, I still like Kawhi over any player in the league. Cant wait to see him against Lebron, best defender in the league no doubt.
leonard really made it tough for melo last night.. even though they lost last night, melo did the right thing by passing the ball and not took that shot..
For all these Kawhi fans who want to come on here and find a reason to say he out played Melo tonight, there is none. I sat second row tonight in this game and I can tell you Melo dominated Kawhi not only scoring, but he locked him up when he was defending him. Great game though.
Melo only scored 12 points. 8 free throws. Whi scored 16 points. 3 free throws. Kawhi was aggressive the whole game and made Melo shoot 5-15........ And about the whole Melo locking up Kawhi..... umm idk about that
+Raven Encino you didn't watch the game then, and it's not our fault y'all fouled him????? You act like free throws ain't points....he had 20 tonight and delivered down the stretch. Kawhi was no where to be found down the stretch, he's just lucky to have hall of fame players around him unlike Melo.
+Jimmy Norwood thats cause other players are scoring? Aldridge, Parker, Ginobili had 16 each, along with Whi's 19... and Melo had no choice but to pass on that last possession, and he ultimately did NOT deliver a win.
I watched this whole game too and Carmelo didn't do shit the 1st half but did hit a couple big shots at the end... But saying he locked up Kawhi on defense is laughable Kawhi's jumpers just wasn't falling tonight
+Lloyd Michael Lim No Melo shoots 45 percent for his career.. Not 30... Kawhi did a great job but against the heat Melo shot 75 percent . So lets not act like this is every game
+Lloyd Michael Lim he is over rated. jus like they over rated paul George when LeBron was in Miami. Paul George better than he was now he get no recognition. the league is funny how it works
Lloyd Michael Lim kawhi leonard is over rated.....if u wanna b honest. Jimmy butler is the same type of player. He's better than kawhi leonard. Better offensively and just as good defensively.
melo completed went off on him..especially in the clutch! refs don't give him crap in the paint tho..fuck it but I could tell at the end melo wanted this game
+6Godzingis & Godme7o - Dynamic Duo Completely went off? check Melo's stat line for this game and the game in New York on Nov 2nd. Read it, then correct your definition of went off on him....
+6Godzingis & Godme7o - Dynamic Duo Whi just missed open shots he normally makes? and Melos defense? Umm there was only a few possessions... boy didn't "clamp" shit
Melo was just playing around with Lenaord. in the 4th quarter he got serious and starting making clutch baskets on Lenaord. Too bad Jose missed the shot
+kefkapalazzo1 Fisher wanted to try and catch the Spurs defense not set up. Didn't work. Knicks do not have a break down ball handling scorer. They need to set up their offense, which falls right into the Spurs defensive strength.
Oden Lau Yes there was a timeout, "Trailing by one with 16 seconds left after a Tony Parker miss, Knicks coach Derek Fisher elected not to call timeout as Anthony dribbled down the clock" nypost.com/2016/01/08/knicks-comes-oh-so-close-to-pulling-stunner-over-spurs/ No what the fuck you're talking about before calling someone an idiot YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!!!!
Now before yall start the bullshit just know Melo had more than Kawhi in each stat plus melo turned it up on him in the clutch ,and played good defense on him... GG tho #StayMeloMyFriends #VoteMelo #VoteKawhi
NewMoney527 The spacing was poor ... if he had better spacing he could of got a good shot off himself ... but the spacing was poor so ginobli and parker were there to help out and he made the right choice to pass
*if you told me that Melo would struggle to find employment in his late 30's, I would've laughed you out the gym. No Way In Hell on a 15 man roster is this guy not valuable, even if he's just teaching younger players how to score* 🌈
Melo needs help besides KP.. AA & Jose to inconsistent and the bench is to inconsistent too.. & Ppl that saying KP better than Melo needs to Stfu KP a beast but Melo helping him & taking pressure off him
Leonard has a lot of help where Melo & KP seems like only one doing something nite in nite out everybody else inconsistent & if Lopez scoring more than AA we have a problem
That's why knicks losing because backcourt inconsistent & bench.. thy not doing shit on a nightly basis.. If are guards can't defend, shoot, or drive to basket its not helping then to top tht off if are bench can't score or do shit we have a problem
Melo playing like a BEAST lately. Hope to see the Knicks in the playoffs.
5/15 shooting isn't playing like a beast lol. Kawhi locked that ass up AGAIN.
+Joey Kuzbiski Did you watch the game? Stats aren't everything
+Joey Kuzbiski Melo played decent defense aswell. I think it was a great contest. Both players played good.

Fouly
My two favorite small forwards goin at it

Kawhi scared the shit out of Melo on the last play...This was a good match up I love watching Kawhi playing against elite SFs

+germano mosconi im a diehard knicks fan i know someone is mocking him for passing lol imo he did the right thing

+Jimmy Norwood quit making shit up...kawhi's jump shots were wide open. Bunch of bullshit.
Melo 20 points on 5-15 shooting lmao
What's so funny. He ate at the free throw line. Had a great 4th quarter.
5/15 shooting is really Melo-like. He can put up 40+ points with fucking 30% in the FG%. Kawhi did a great job tho.
+Lloyd Michael Lim No Melo shoots 45 percent for his career.. Not 30... Kawhi did a great job but against the heat Melo shot 75 percent . So lets not act like this is every game
+Chris56076 Bro I wasn't talking about career percentage, I'm talking about Melo's shooting percentage in some nights where he would score 40+ points.
+Chris56076 And Melo also shot bricks when they first met this season. So this isn't a one game off night for Melo against Kawhi.
If only melo didn't get so many calls,the game wouldn't be close,but i'll take the W
This guy just said Melo does get calls lol, what world are you living in?
+Jimmy Norwood melo did get calls while leonard got foul and no call all night
I will be real annoyed if Kawhi doesn't start in the All Star game. The dude is a beast.
+Luke Molloy Green will be starting
+Chris56076 i think KL will get the nod. the only player that is a legit candidate for MVP and repeat DPOY....
+Lloyd Michael Lim he is over rated. jus like they over rated paul George when LeBron was in Miami. Paul George better than he was now he get no recognition. the league is funny how it works
+MrMrjanuary16 Kawhi is not overrated bro. PG improved, Kawhi improved, that's it.

What💀
Kawhi locked who up? 2:53
Kawhi locked who up? 3:33
Pretty poor spacing in last play, if Galloway is going to take up that space he should of set a screen for Melo to get by.

That's why you call a timout Fisher, smdh. Coulda won that game.

Melo should of known bum ass Calderon wasnt going to make it. But then again if he didn't pass to a wide open Man. He would be called a jock
You been falling off GD, What's going on?
If you're Melo, you shouldn't be passing the damn ball to anyone else with the game on the line EXCEPT Porzingis. Senile 🙇🏽🚫
+Sekou Murrell KL shut him down on last play
+Sekou Murrell Which is why D. Fisher should've called a timeout. Used Melo as a decoy and got the ball to Porzingis. Coach Fisher? I.P. (Idiot Proof)
Knicks should've used their last T/O unless I'm missing something
+kefkapalazzo1 Fisher wanted to try and catch the Spurs defense not set up. Didn't work. Knicks do not have a break down ball handling scorer. They need to set up their offense, which falls right into the Spurs defensive strength.

+Easton Darr KL shut him down

No what the fuck you're talking about before calling someone an idiot YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!!!!
Gmac MELO'S DECISION
Melo was getting fucked over by the refs
I think 10 attempts from the free throw line is enough.
+Raven Encino he should've had more. He was getting hacked under the rim a lot in the first half.
Melo never gets calls im used to it
+Raven Encino I mean, how many do you think he deserved. lol
+GodMelo Anthony Nah man, this shit is annoying. Somebody needs to call the refs out. Melo has been going through this shit for years. #JusticeForMelo
Now before yall start the bullshit just know Melo had more than Kawhi in each stat plus melo turned it up on him in the clutch ,and played good defense on him... GG tho #StayMeloMyFriends #VoteMelo #VoteKawhi
NewMoney527 Stfu he didnt blow the game
+GodMelo Anthony Do you watch the game? Watch it again.
NewMoney527 The spacing was poor ... if he had better spacing he could of got a good shot off himself ... but the spacing was poor so ginobli and parker were there to help out and he made the right choice to pass
Naka Mura Bitch stfu i watched the game
Austin Norwood And Kawhi was 8/19 wtf is ya point?
*if you told me that Melo would struggle to find employment in his late 30's, I would've laughed you out the gym. No Way In Hell on a 15 man roster is this guy not valuable, even if he's just teaching younger players how to score* 🌈
Kawhi is just using basic fundamentals and is making it look way to easy.
LeBron James 2015-16 MVP
Hard 30
if u think over rated kawhi leonard can lock up melo 1on 1. u don'tk Kno basketball or u smoke dope
Ok Melo!!
DPOY x2
Melo needs help besides KP.. AA & Jose to inconsistent and the bench is to inconsistent too.. & Ppl that saying KP better than Melo needs to Stfu KP a beast but Melo helping him & taking pressure off him
Leonard has a lot of help where Melo & KP seems like only one doing something nite in nite out everybody else inconsistent & if Lopez scoring more than AA we have a problem
That's why knicks losing because backcourt inconsistent & bench.. thy not doing shit on a nightly basis.. If are guards can't defend, shoot, or drive to basket its not helping then to top tht off if are bench can't score or do shit we have a problem
Knicks need to get a wing defender & scorer & a 6th man anybody agree or disagree
BTW I mean a scorer behind Melo & KP
+Isaac Lincoln Jr So much excuse................................
melo locked down leonard to 8/19 fg.. leonard s very overrated
If Kawhi has haters now that means he's good
+ryan ramosare u drunk ???
I think Melo got 1 basket on him
You thought wrong
