Look at the play prior to your screenshot, when he gets the inbound, he's guarded by one player - the problem though is when he does his dribble moves, he sinks his head and doesn't see the two incoming defenders, and when he finally gets his head up he was tightly packed in and puts up a shot in panic (atleast that's what it looked like to me).. obviously having Melo dribbling face-down isn't something he should do, but he did, and that's how he ended up in a situation like that ;D

Well, truth be told.. the only reason Knicks made it to OT is because Anthony started hitting shots (he was 3-17 before they went into the last couple of minutes - had 8-23 moments later), if my teams best scorer gets a hot hand late in the fourth, of course I'll throw it his way
ACTUALLY, the only reason the Knicks were in OT was because Anthony shot 3-17 before the last few minutes. I can't imagine the rest of the Knicks going 3-17 if they had taken those 17 shots instead of Anthony.
In other news, at the Knicks practice today, D'Antoni has been running the play "Isolation" for the past 3 hours. He told reporter he likes the way A'mare is running out of the paint with his back to the basket. When asked how long they could possibly run Isolation for D'Antoni responded "We're gonna keep doing this"

Hi Noximus! Meet Iman Shumpert! And no, the only reason the Knicks were in OT wasn't because he shot 3-17, that's the reason they were behind (that and their awful defense and lack of contribution from a player like Amar'e..), him going 7-13 from late in the 4th and to the final whistle is why they even made it to the first and second OT
Carmelo (and even Shumpert) suck up every other offensive option. Amare cant play with someone hogging the ball 24/7. Also Chandler blocking the lane isnt helpful. When Shaq was with the suns Amares production dropped significantly as well.
Am I the only one who thinks that D'Antoni needs to be fired immediately? The Knicks are basically built to run the Triangle, and instead he runs the opposite of the triangle.

I do think Shumpert takes too many shots. Especially 3s and long twos. He's just not good at it. That whole team takes a lot of threes.
EDIT: Which does make me think that they should not run the Triangle.
D'Antoni should be moved on from the Knicks. It's not really a reflection on him, but the team he has just isn't built to play the style of basketball he's best at coaching.
Heat fans can't be happy about this one. Losing to the Bucks at home shouldn't happen, even without DWade, especially because Milwaukee was 1-8 on the road before this win.
Only 9 assists in the entire game...wow... dat offense
Heat looked so freaking bad tonight against the Bucks. Turnover after turnover, 21 total, 8 by Bosh and 6 by Chalmers. They shot 37% against the Bucks shooting 35%. Given all that they were within 5 points with 2 min to go but, couldn't execute in the end(missed layups and turnovers). Ugly and sloppy ass game. 91-82 Final

As long as there are no excuses for the game next Sunday, I will be happy. Neither team plays on Saturday and hopefully one week will be enough time for Rose and Wade to get healthy enough to play.
That will be the biggest game of the season so far imo.

He's a much improved player on a mediocre team. He still has shockers sometimes, but they're less frequent these days and he's become a much more efficient scorer. He could've easily had a TD tonight if the Bucks shot better.
