Jim Boeheim on Carmelo Anthony's NBA title hopes with New York Knicks: 'Not on this team' Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim maintains little hope that former Syracuse star Carmelo Anthony can win an NBA title with the New York Knicks. "Not on that team," Boeheim said. "He did what he can do. He played very well the final game. Everybody's killing him but Tyson Chandler just didn't try to catch the ball. He threw him the ball and Tyson Chandler went like this (Boeheim dodged in a chair in his office in the Carmelo K. Anthony Center). He was wide open. He should have been looking for the ball right here. Kenyon Martin should have been looking for the ball. They both went like this (Boeheim dodged again). Carmelo gets turnovers and the announcers aren't smart enough to even think, 'Well, the guy should try to catch the ball.' " Boeheim said he watched the Knicks series closely, following his former star. Anthony averaged 28.5 points in the Eastern Conference semifinals, including a 39-point effort in Game 6 when the Knicks lost 106-99 to the Indiana Pacers. He scored more than twice as many points as any other Knick in the 4-2 series. Boeheim said the Knicks needed Anthony, Raymond Felton and J.R. Smith to play well every night to have a chance in almost any game this season. "Those guys weren't great players where they were and now they're asking them to be second and third options," Boeheim said. "In Miami the second and third options are Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Your fourth option is Ray Allen, who is still in good shape. Your fifth option is Shane Battier, who is still a good player. The New York Knicks have who?" Smith was second in playoff scoring for the Knicks with an average of 13.5 points, down from 18.1 during the regular season. Felton's average of 13.9 points dropped to 11. The Knicks had hoped to form a potent forward tandem with Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire, but injuries limited Stoudemire, and questions about the chemistry between the two forwards has existed for nearly as long as their partnership. The failure of that combination forced the Knicks to rely on role players, who Boeheim said weren't up to the task and left Anthony holding the bag. With their offensive options limited, Knicks head coach Mike Woodson went to isolation sets, which only increased the offensive reliance on Anthony. "I said to my son, 'He's going to have to get 50 for them to win,' " Boeheim said. "That's what he needed. Fifty. You're not going to get that against Indiana. They run an isolation offense so he goes one-on-one all the time. It's hard. It's hard work. They need more of an offense where he can get something going. He has to work too hard. That's not his fault. That's how it's set up." The Syracuse coach, who won his only national title with Anthony as his star, has always been a vocal supporter of his former player, even appearing on the Colin Cowherd show earlier this month and defending him against an ardent critic. The loss to the Pacers didn't change that. While Roy Hibbert's block of an attempted Anthony dunk will remain the most memorable moment from Anthony's playoff failure, Boeheim said it was New York's lack of offensive options that allowed him to lurk beneath the basket instead of guarding his man. "Tyson Chandler claims he never gets the ball. He doesn't try to get the ball," said Boeheim, who coached Chandler when he was a member of the 2012 United States Olympic team. "He had two points and Hibbert had (21). What was the difference in the series? Raymond Felton was 0-for-7. Lance Stephenson had (25) points. They're going to blame it on Carmelo? I told him when he went to New York, they're going to blame it on you." "They have no chance to win. (Knicks starter) Pablo Prigioni has never scored against (the U.S. team). We played Argentina six or seven times in different events. He hasn't scored ... against us. You have to have players to win in the NBA." While he was underwhelmed by the Knicks' supporting cast, Boeheim was impressed by the ensemble the Pacers have put together. "Hibbert is really good," Boeheim said of the former Georgetown star. "(Paul) George is really good. They're all-stars, both of them. George Hill is really good. (David) West is a (former) all-star. That's three all-stars. It's not even close." Even that won't be enough to challenge the Heat, Boeheim believes. "LeBron (James) is the best player in the NBA," Boeheim said. "Unless he or Wade gets hurt, they're going to win this year and they're going to win next year." As for the Knicks? According to this story in the New York Post the Knicks have little financial flexibility to make the move the Boeheim believes the franchise needs (signing Chris Paul) and Anthony can opt-out of his contract at the end of next season. "They're getting nothing but older," Boeheim said. "They're not going to get better. They need two more options. Chris Paul would be the guy. ... No one else can help them. They're not going to beat Miami. Indiana's not going to get worse, they're going to get better. It doesn't look good." http://tinyurl.com/koy3qca 沒想到雪城教練也想要CP3 XDD -- ◤ ◤▂▂▼ ▂▂ [[ ◆◣˙˙─ ◆-—╴╴]] ψsherry821224◥ ◣ ◤◢◤ ◢▼ ▆◥◣ ◣ ◥▎ ▊ ▂ ◣ ◥ ◢ =∥ ▊ ◥ ◤ ▊ ◥▎▊ ◥◣ ▊◤ ▊◣ ◢◤◥◣ ▊ ◥◣ ◢ ▎ ∥= =∥ ▊ ▲◤ ▊▂ ▎▊ ▊ ▊ ◥◣ ▊ ▎ ▊ ▊ ▎ ∥= ◤ ◣◥◣ ▼★ ▊ ◣ ▎▊ ◤◥◣◢ ▊ ◤◥◣◢◤ ▊ ◤ ◥◣◢▎ ◥ ◣ ◣_◥ノ＃７ ◥ ◥ ◤ ◥ ◤ ◥ ◥ ◤ ◣◢◤◢ ◢ --
