What is Goff's fascination with getting Carmelo as many shots as he can? Hasn't this proven to be a very poor way to actually have a relevant team in the NBA? I understand that Carmelo is a very skilled offensive player but the Knicks have been bad, and the Nuggets didn't exactly light the world on fire getting him the ball and letting him be "Carmelo Mother effing Anthony". In fact, the best the Knicks have looked has been when Carmelo hasn't been the only offense. Now, this seems to be a backlash about Jeremy Lin but any NBA expert who watched as much Knicks basketball as Goff would know that it wasn't just Lin who stepped up but other players. Lin had a few big shots but the actual team worked better. So, Jason Goff, do you think a team that just has Carmelo shooting as much as possible can win an NBA title? If so, why have his teams been so far from the elite teams? I'm a Carmelo fan too but it's becoming pretty apparent that "Get the ball to Carmelo and win" isn't really working. Note: Thread idea stolen from shirtless driver. |

Goff is the Score's resident NBA Expert and Bulls Insider. That's all you need to know. |

I just don't get the Carmelo Anthony stance like he's proven himself to be so good that building your whole team around getting him the ball will make your team win a ton of games. |

Meatballs dont like Carmello cause he's selfish and had corn rows. Ergo, anyone on Team Bernstein loves Melo. |

I missed the part where having your best player take the most shots on the team is a bad idea? |

Maybe Melo shouldn't be considered the best player on that team? Everyone falls past their prime at some point. |

Ugueth Will Shiv You wrote: I missed the part where having your best player take the most shots on the team is a bad idea? Who said he shouldn't?The point is that an offense that is focused on just getting Carmelo his shots has proven to have average results. I'm not saying Carmelo should be getting the same amount of shots as Iman Shumpert but Goff was acting like the key to Knicks dominance is Carmelo taking 35 shots a game. A casual Knicks observer like me can attest that the Knicks don't really look good when it's just the Carmelo show. |

Carmello is not top 5. Furthermore, give "Melo the Rock and let him do his thing" will never EVER work in the NBA. Jordan and Kobe couldnt even win that way. Until he learns to play with teammates, his teams will always be bad. |

Melo is a top 10 player... |

Are you sure? He shoots less than 40% and doesn't play well with teammates and used to have cornrows. Everyone here makes a pretty good argument that is hard to refute. Sounds like top-50, generously. |

He's a top ten scorer (at the expense of a good team offense) His style cripples the offense and his choosing to never play D hurts as well |
