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."
