DRed: Maybe, but he just doesn’t seem to be a good defender.You like those 5 man defensive numbers-I went and looked at his career and I could only find one season where his team allowed fewer points when Amar’e was on the floor.It’s certainly not the world’s most accurate stat, but that’s not a good trend.

Sample way too small.

Oh my god.

My point was not that Amar’e has always been an average defender, I’ve even implied as much in this very thread, it was that he’s playing defense better than he has in the past.

His career defensive +/- numbers are poor. They can be better. They will be if he plays like he has under Woodson.

DRed: I’m giving you the same fucking answer you gave me.

Huh?

ruruland: Carmelo Anthony’s career is a small sample size.

Now you’re pure trolling. I see what you’re doing.

DRed: Small smaple size.Like all of Stoudemire’s career when looking at his on floor/off floor defensive numbers.

The entire NBA season thus far is too small a sample size. Hope for the Ryan Anderson led Hornets!!!!!

Afflalo:
with Melo: 51/48
without Melo: 49/37

Nene:

with Melo: 65
without Melo: 60

Martin:
with: 50/100

without: 49/0

Amar’e:

with: 50
without: 48

Douglas:

with: 45/40

without: 40/41

Fields:

with: 47/38
without: 40/38

Last year was really the one season where there wasn’t this really strong effect.

ruruland: Also, how do you dismiss that, after Thomas and Camby’s game tonight, literally every player that has taken a shot with Melo on the floor shoots better when he’s on it.

You’d have to be an idiot to scoff at that,especially if you’re to add up all the numbers for each player (it’s definitely a big enough sample then).

The Knicks have played a lot of minutes with Melo on the bench this year, unfortunately.

Small smaple size. Like all of Stoudemire’s career when looking at his on floor/off floor defensive numbers.
