I hate to say it, but my Knicks are a hot mess. I love my team, but damn they’re making it hard for my heart. The Knicks lost their ninth-straight game last night (first time since 2006) & lost 7th game in a row at home. Yes, emotions are going to run high when they keep losing games — I would think that something like this is going to happen. So when Iman Shumpert was seen yelling at Carmelo Anthony, was it a big deal??? Oh and by the way, Shump did not play again after that.
Check out what they both had to say about it after the jump.
Via ESPN:
Both Iman Shumpert and Carmelo Anthony downplayed the significance of an incident caught by television cameras in which Shumpert was yelling at Anthony on the Knicks’ bench.
“We had a miscommunication defensively,” Shumpert said. Anthony said he did not have a disagreement with Shumpert. But that’s not what cameras showed.
The cameras showed Shumpert being demonstrative with Anthony in the team huddle in the third quarter. Shumpert appeared to be upset that New Orleans’ Ryan Anderson was knocking down 3-pointers while being guarded by Anthony.
Curiously, Shumpert did not play after yelling at Anthony. Shumpert said he was healthy enough to take the floor. “Of course I wanted to play,” he said.
