Bebe- you misunderstand. They aren't saying that Melo is a 6th man. They're saying that no team with him as the primary option is going to win a championship (or likely get to a CF). Also, not playing Copeland and Novak more at this point is criminal. | ||

This Knicks team isn't competing with the Heat with Phil Jackson or Greg Popovich or Pat Riley as their coach. It's an old team built without a real offensive system in mind, and when it did have an offensive system, youth and room to grow, that was all scrapped in order to get Carmelo. Now they've got stars and little to no cohesion. He is a chucker and Woodson calls them, in part, because that's how he plays. How many seasons in a row do they have to go through this for people to realize it? He's not quite the black hole he was during most of his time in Denver, but he still tends to be a ball stopper and he doesn't open up their perimeter shooters as well as Felton/Chandler PnRs do (although the Pacers are great against it.) If you're going to live and die with Carmelo going off while taking difficult shots, you're going to do a whole lot of dying. It's funny that Knicks fans keep citing the Pacers defense as unbreakable, as if Wade/Bryant/Jordan and Lebron never had to play stingy and even more physical defenses. This isn't something isolated to this specific team (although the Knicks roster was poorly put together.) His eFG % in the playoffs is a good 5% lower than those superstars throughout their careers. The team's offensive rating is actually higher without him on the floor, this post-season. | ||

I don't think any team is charitable enough to go like 6/22 over an entire quarter. Good to see Nate Robinson finding the damn basket again too. | ||

Is it true the Heat were up 18 points in the first quarter but are now down 6? Dah fuck Miami? You're playing a team that couldn't beat the Lakers atm and they are showing you up at home. Embarassing. | ||

The knee issues seem to be recurring and a big part of his game is attacking the basket. As a Wade fan I definitely hold my breath everytime he comes down with a tumble and starts wincing lol | ||

It feels like the only way the Bulls can score is some wild shot that magically goes down as the shot clock runs out. No way that can be maintained as the Heat lock down even more in the 4th. | ||

On a related side note, the Dubs have done well, but I can't see them winning this series :/ | ||
