Also, you didn't see Shump or Felton making shots? What game were you watching? BTW, Felton had a TS% near 60%, which is SKY HIGH.
I did address it. The guy was spent by the time OT came around.
Felton making prayer shots is not what I like to see. I suggest you take a look at Ray Felton and Shumperts shot charts for the game. They made some layups and bricked alot of shots.
Fatigue is not an excuse for someone like Melo. Especially at the FT line with a series on the line, that's his role and job.
MrEarl already addressed Prayer Shots which is so weak that Mutombo would have swatted that shit right back in your face and made you a part of his commercial series.

At the beginning of the game I wasnt that worried about missing J.R. because we have a deep bench, but once it was clear Copeland was nowhere to be seen and Novak wasn't much of a factor, then you could understand the way it hurt us.
J.R. has to stay playing and Woody has to bring Copeland back into the mix. We need them both.
Melo had a bad game and those missed free-throws killed any chance we had at winning in regulation. But to blame this on Melo is unfair. To be fair, the whole team missed many shots they normally make. I wouldve balanced our late attack with more Felton shots, especially since he was hot.
Woody needs to maximize his bench other than trusting J.R. to be the second scorer. I must repeat, we need Copeland. He is a talented scorer who should've thrieved in last game.

That was obviously a non-call, unless the guy had a blue uniform. Its been already stated that any player from another team can hit anybody with elbows or flagrantly except a certain Smith.
Really, its so ridiculous. Had J.R. hit somebody the way Prigs was hit by Terry at one point, he would've been suspended again.

Cant get too mad at that cause Melo got away with holding Pierce right after it. Its also not the reason KG got a wide open shot. The utter lack of communication is astounding.

Ha ha, aparantly K-mart told the Knicks to wear black for game 5 because they're going to a funeral! Hope he backs up the talk!
Also, on twitter:
Amar'e is working on low-post moves & taking strong contact vs. assistant LaSalle Thompson. Then running fullcourt drills. Conditioning key.

Hate to say it, but we could've used 10-15 minutes of Amare posting and toasting.
He has tons of playoff experience, so the moment would not be too big.
