Oh, of course Melo wants to discredit the Nets. He doesn't like them. A lot of players do that about rivals.

I didn't think the Knicks would win easily because this was a big game for the Nets, they were on a losing streak, playing at home, and against their biggest rival. The start of the game didn't surprise me because I believed the Nets would come out with more energy and they did.

Stat played like a Superstar the first half of his first year here too.
The lose weight is not an argument, Melo obviously didnt work as hard to keep himself in shape as evidenced by Woodson telling him to lose weight and get in shape. You are one of the biggest Carmelo Anthony apologists around. Melo was happy scoring 25 a game while playing lazy d, didnt make his teammates better, and wasnt dedicated in the offseason. This year he finally seems to be getting it, and it should not have taken him 8 years to figure it out.
Dwill has never been skinny, and he has been dealing with elbow and wrist injuries (why he is shooting so poorly this year) that is the reason for his poor play. He looks exactly the same as he has always been.

First, I make no apology for being a Melo apologists, LOL. He's my favorite NBA player and playing on my favorite team. It's like Jeter and the Yanks for me.
As to DWill and injuries, you can see that this year. But Melo was dealing with similar injuries all of last year (knee, groin, hip, elbow and wrist) but was killed in the media for his less than his own standards play.
And as to the critism of Melo as a Knick, two words: Mike D'Antoni.
