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. Ok well first of all, if melo was actually playing like a superstar they would be winning.
This is how he's usually been though, and people still consider him a superstar. He had 2 good playoffs in Denver where people thought he was turning a corner, even on defense, and he hasn't done it since. The funny thing is today's game was probably good enough to beat the Celtics.
Also, I think he's fantastic and helps the Knicks' offense more than anyone realizes, but Tyson Chandler was pretty bad today as well. He has to give Hibbert some competitive games.

Melo's a rich man's Monta Ellis. He's a good player who, unfortunately, thinks he's a great player. If his ego could allow it, he could be a very deadly second option on a contending team. He'll be eternally frustrating because you see him do things on the court that are just amazing but for as much as he does that, he'll look like a D-League chucker in gamers like today.
Knicks fans better not hold their breath because this team will be a perennial second round team as long as Melo is captaining the ship. Could you imagine them competing with Miami in a 7 game series? I couldn't. I doubt they'll even beat Indy after watching today's effort.

I don't think they'll beat Indy. Didn't think they would at the beginning of playoffs either. Indiana's just the better team, and plays like it. They also have a team better suited to playoff basketball.

And it certainly doesn't help that the media has a hard-on for everything he does. I guess that's just a side effect of playing in New York though.

Melo, Shumpert, and Smith- 18-54.
Eh, seems like just another day for the Knicks though doesn't it?

That would be tasteless and witty. Worthy headline.

Kevin Durant is 4-for-4 attempting go-ahead field goals in the final 24 seconds of 4th quarter in last 2 playoffs; rest of NBA is 2-for-23.

Too bad his team isn't going to be within 1 enough times.

This is one the funniest things I've seen in a long time. So good.

The Knicks will never amount to anything with their current team, at least its fun to watch them fail. Rose is about as dissapointing also

I don't understand how the wings are considered neutral. They are 0 for X out there?
Either way it is a telling diagram.

Sample size is too small.

I don't think you get to complain after the game that sample size was too small. :p

I also think you have to note if they get fouled or get an assist with him defending. I felt like George trying to defend Anthony in the post led to a bunch of fouls for Anthony and required the Pacers to bring some help.
Also shit's over apparently

ran into the theory that Rose/Bulls organization only kept claiming he might return so that teams would worry about/have to prepare for him. If so, that's interesting.

Why would they compromise the credibility of their star just for this small gain tho? Doesn't make a lot of sense.
