Context people. It's important in considering stats. Those + - numbers don't always tell the whole story.

Yes knicks got swept. It was a relative mercy kill though with Carmelo there, hell even a game once or twice compared to the slaughterhouse without him.

Hahahaha oh don't even try to tell me knicks win a game without Melo.

GUYZ HE HAS MORE - NUMBERS PUT SHAWNE WILLIAMS ON THE COURT AND HE'LL GET PLUS NUMBERS

WHY DON'T PEOPLE GET IT THIS IS JUST LIKE XENOBLADES

 

[DY_nasty]

The context of a sweep?

We talkin bout playoffs.

Playoffs

Lookout for Lebron's shoes tomorrow:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ulDLQDpSf8&feature=youtu.be

Damn I want a pair... not worth 250 though.

I actually wore the Lebron VIs for a while.

They were heavier than I liked, but it was actually a damned good shoe.

Getting swept in the first round or eliminated in 5 games is nothing new for Carmelo. He's actually lost more first round series now than T-Mac.

Think about that.

 

[Doomsayer]

The fact is the Knicks probably win game one with no Carmelo in that series. One more win than they got with him.

Paul actually won games and put up a 67% TS, they arent even CLOSE to the same thing.

Point is Anthony has been swept 3 times and 3 more times only won 1 game, Shoots 3.7% worse while getting routinely lit up in the playoffs.

You go ahead and keep thinking he brings it or something though.

Yeah, no.

Just no. Melo was the only offensive threat on that team after Amar'e went down. Who was making shots for them? Douglas? Fields? Walker?

Now, if Melo was never traded to the Knicks and they have Gallo, Chandler, Failton..etc then you have a case.

The Knicks shot 42.3% in game 1 and lost by 2 points. Anthony shot 27.7% that game (with 5 turnovers) they theoretically would have had a better chance of winning without him.

Oh and lets look at the game log shall we? http://espn.go.com/nba/playbyplay?gameId=310417002&period=4

In the final 3 minutes of that game he goes 0-3 with 2 turnovers.

literally losing them the game.

Lol i don't even have a wii. Though I would love to play that game. I'm just messing with you diehard you have a point i just think Melo should get props for that 42pt game. Looking back he did have two 15pt clunkers where he was very inefficient

I like how you cherry pick diehard's post and make a stupid ass comment to avoid real discussion. :lol

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

I hadn't played my wii in a year or so, when I tried to play smash bros the other day I found out it was broken.

And I felt nothing at all.

 

[DY_nasty]

If Melo doesn't take those bad shots, who does?

I was pretty positive about the system for its first few years, but there has literally been nothing for the past year or two. Except Monster Hunter, which is fucking amazing. I think the Galaxy games validated the purchase as well.

 

[Alrix]

I like Carmelo right now. Offensive tear, trying hard on defense, showing leadership of the team. I think he's as fired up right now as anyone. It's gonna be fun

 

[Canuck76]

Really though who does? I know your joking but if Melo's not taking shots then i bet you everybody's FG% would be way down. There's Melo inefficiency and then there's "Toney Douglas iso" inefficiency.

Come on homie, no one actually believes Knicks are better without Melo. But the fact is, Melo has never really "brought it" in the playoffs. End of that.

Check out this game 42pts 17 rebounds, shot near 50% and they only lost by 3. So really, theoretically he should have shot more than his crappy teammates and they would have won the game. Same series

That's what i call bringing it.

 

[aznpxdd]

By your logic, I guess TMac will be remembered as one of NBA Playoffs' greats.

McGrady did some pretty incredible 1st round shit too.

Grant Hill too.

Stackhouse....

of course we didnt win when the nba refs are morons and the celtics are cheating scum

LOL.......They went after the Ruiz shirts before his....Sad


E: Laundry clip was hilarious...He enjoyed that shoot...

Lol check the past 2 pages.

Diehard was arguing that Melo was inefficent in that series. I gave you guys a clear example of when he wasn't and almost won a game.

Also he's not Tracy Mcgrady dudes been to the WCF, was a crucial part of the team, that's not a valid argument.

Looking forward to that series though.

Hopefully Evan turner can explode and make that game before interesting.

Could he do that if the kid just had some zoloft?

They get a kick out of it because they know they're getting a nice check playing for The NBA.

Honestly, past the bulls taking the ship, as long as the heat lose, I'll be happy.

Landry seemed way more into it lol

 

[Emwitus]

Its funny how people assume it's as simple as taking out melo and the knicks win the game. You know what, if melo wasn't taking those shots, someone else would.....and honestly, i'd rather have melo taking them.

 

[Dominican Power]

That's just his personality.

That sounds like words from a player that is sitting at the end of the bench.


No competitor would spew that nonsense.

Yea if you think Jrue was having fun in that video I don't know what to tell you.

Landry had some fun but he would have gotten fired for doing some of the shit he did. Jrue got the real retail treatment.

 

[Vilam]

Hmm, can't decide... Should I get up early and watch the Heat tomorrow, or just wait to tune in when they inevitably make it to the Finals?

They just get to clown around in a sporting goods store for a few hours. No consequences.

 

[Black Mamba]

Celtics over Hawks in 6
Bulls over Philly in 4 (but I can see it being 5)
Indy over Orlando in 5 (but I can see it being a sweep)
Miami over Knicks in 6. Unconventional pick. Have a weird feeling of a road closeout. 5 otherwise

Spurs over Jazz in 5
OKC over Mavs in 7 (pride shows up!)
Memphis over Clips in 5. It might be 7, but I don't think Grizz will close out on the road in 6.

I think the Laker series goes 6 or 7 games.

Honestly, the OKC/Dallas one is the hardest to peg. I could see it being a sweep by OKC too.

 

[Pkaz01]

Depends on which dirk shows up. if its regular season dirk dallas has no chance but if its playoffs from last year dirk okc players will not sleep a single night during that series.

Last year's Dirk doesn't exist

I think after the d-whistle miami finals years ago dirk goes crazy when he hears a whistle in the playoffs. Give him a quarter against the fthunder and he will return.

Dallas hasn't taken this season seriously once this year. Why do you think they will now?

Maybe they truly were the 2006 Heat reincarnate, though.

They're missing their 2nd best player from last year, and they didn't get a replacement... it's not rocket science.

cause fuck okc thats why! Who outside of people that live in Oklahoma like the thunder?

 

[exarkun]

Late March and April Dirk has put up similar number to his averages from last year. And he always gets higher average numbers in the playoffs. At least for the last three or four years.

So saying last year's Dirk doesn't exist going into this round is a bit reactionary. He'll play hard, and put up his 26 points and 3 assists. A better reason they'll lose is because his surrounding players are not the same (basically, tyson is gone).

Dirk will show up. So will Jet, Kidd, and Marion. Everyone else is a big ?. The OKC series can go either way, but Durant/Harden/Whistle will be hard to beat with the experiences under their belt.

[C4Lukins]

Not sure if I prefer the Sooners to the Lakers in the first round. I do think Dallas can take it though. We played them hard during the regular season. A ton of experience versus a ton of amazing youth. Dallas in 6.
