Even if you are hurt, and you know you aren't shooting as well, then why the fuck are you shooting 30 times a game?
who else will shoot

Judging from his tweets, it looks like he's trolling. Still, who the hell let this guy vote?

LOL. Agree with you on both.

Dan Lebatards show is absolutely terrible and likely getting horrible ratings. He needs this sort of attention.

If nobody else can shoot except JR and Melo, you have a bad team. Amare would help tho...

There's this thing called the pick and roll.

Lebatard's show is great - the radio one anyway. Paul George is the best player in this series. "you need a superstar to win" is one of the biggest fallacies in basketball.

The problem is most people only define superstar by scoring. Paul George is a balanced, very good player.

his scoring isn't great, merely good at best. But he moves the ball well and is better off the ball than on. His defense however is ridiculously good. I've been saying that for 2 years though. Him + Hibbert just destroyed the Knicks' lineups today.

People are happy to point out lakers being bad due to all their injuries yet forget about the Knicks. Novack is out hurt, Stat injured, Melos shoulder still hurt after KG, chandler isnt even 100%. Im not saying they will beat Heat because they wont. But they are better than indy with the full team
oh BTW: Fuck JR Smith, so godawful in the playoffs

cause its not like the Pacers are missing Danny Granger or anything.... Or Hibbert hasn't been playing with a hand injury all year.
Its the playoffs, everyone is hurt for the most part.

Melo has always been terrible vs even barely above league average defenses anyway. In the playoffs he is terrible, and his regular season games ve Indy were downright horrible. This kind of performance is what is expected of him vs this kind of defense.

There's beat up and then there's roadkill. The Lakers were roadkill.

This is a typical Carmelo game.

Whenever I need a good laugh I read the ESPN comment boards. Pure gold.
Comment of the year:
"Heat would beat the Knicks in 3 games."
Also:
"If Kidd passes up one more open 3 i'm going to shoot myself in the head"
- "get ready to die"

I dream of a day when my Sacramento Kings are back in the playoffs...

Ok well first of all, if melo was actually playing like a superstar they would be winning.

Ya. I mean Indiana is good but if Paul George was just a liiiitle bit better, they would be so tough. LIke maybe a little bit older. He is just a notch below what would have IND the team be "whoa they might really challenge the Heat".

Jason Kidd, 0-1; Prigioni, 0-1; Tyson Chandler, 2-2; Copeland, 2-3.
Melo, Shumpert, and Smith- 18-54.

yea. he still hasnt peaked yet but he has very high potential. once he locks down scoring consistently - watch out.

More likely to move than make the playoffs at this point...
