won't get past the 1st round of the playoffs for the ninth season in his career minus one season vs Lakers. shall i keep going?
LOL.
Yea that guy Lebron is a terrible defender.....
Did you forget Lebron shut down Derrick Rose last year. You know last years MVP and the most explosive guard in the NBA.
What did you think he was going to do to Melo. The Heat's plan was a war of attrition which they executed perfectly.

Actually Melo's Denver teams were good. High scoring teams but always went up against very good opponents.
That reflects a lack of a PG.

Nonsense.
This reflects the lack of playing as a team. 8 assists is abysmal. Can we stop making excuses? A PG helps matters, but the fact is that there was no ball distribution.

Then that's on the coach.

Btw, Woodson had the same complaint, is taking responsibility for the lack of ball movement and called it "ridiculous". We have veteran point guards. Not playing team ball is not just the point guard.
How many of those assists were in the first-half bench run?
The Heat knew they had to stop one guy to win. And they're doing just that. God damn, I hope they lose in the next round. Or at least smacked around.

what game were you watching? Shane Battier was guarding him most of the time. and you want to talk about terrible defenders? Melo tonight—who at one point let Mike Miller blow past him—that's right Mike Miller. what else you want to know about tonight's melo superstar performance?
the heat are the best defensive team in the league when they're motivated. battier did an amazing job on melo tonight.
i don't think it was "Melo Ball" as much as "No Weapons Left Ball"
Novak hasn't had an open look all series. JR is playing okay, but in way over his head. Baron and Bibby are trying, but have nothing left in the tank. Tyson can't create his own shot. Amar'e is a fool.
Lin or Shumpert would be nice.
Sharing the ball? To who?
Aside from Melo (7-23):
Starters - 7/21
Bench - 8/25
WE ARE LOADED!
Melo played badly but lets not make believe he had someone to pass to. There is a reason why Fields is wide open all game.

Battier was a huge pickup for them. Miller being healthy also helps. They have incredible talent and they are a very deep team.

Not to mention Miami only had 11 assists.

I watched the game and watched the Knicks stand around. No fast break baskets they played scared. Miami played well and the Knicks were right there until LeBron went off in the beginning of the fourth quarter. No one was making shots on the Knicks and everyone was afraid to shoot.
