After five straight losses at Madison Square Garden, the New York Knicks got a mouthful from their star Carmelo Anthony, who blasted his team's effort.
Following the 110-90 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday (Nov. 16), Melo had this to say, reports ESPN: "We ain't playing worth a sh** right now. We got to play harder... I am disappointed too in all of our effort. We are just not getting it done. It ain't nothing that Coach [Mike] Woodson is doing [or not doing]. It ain't got nothing to do with X's and O's out there on the basketball court. We are not getting it done from an effort standpoint. It's like we are not even trying right now."
During the game Saturday, home fans briefly chanted "Fire Woodson" in the third quarter.
The 3-6 Knicks haven't won at the Garden since their 90-83 season-opening victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Oct. 30. So far, they've lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Charlotte Bobcats, San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets and Atlanta at home.
