If you go back to the flagrant on JR, you'll see that Terry makes those kind of plays often.

A three pointer or two would definitely go a long way.

Dont really get how that wasnt a flagrant. Absolutely no play on the ball

I hear you, but the NBA is trying their best to give Boston at least one game.

3rd Qtr 6:01
BOS 61 NYK 50

Melo is about to go into Buddha Armageddon God Mode

Hope it's true!

It's a shame Melo didn't learn from Durant yesterday. As long as you have NBA level teammates, you don't need to force bad shots.

Durant was 13-30 last night. If Melo had put that up, he'd have been killed. He HAS been killed for nights like that. Also, OKC was a lucky three point bounce away from blowing a 20+ lead to the Rockets. Durant is great, but that is NOT a game to point to for Carmelo to be "learning from".

FG% become obsolete when they started using a 3 point line. You should look up his TS% or at least adjusted FG%.

Interesting. I've seen you knock Melo for similar shooting games even when he's gotten to the line. But, okay. I'll file this one away.

"FG% is obsolete."

Awesome.

What was his TS% in those games? In general, I have praised Melo's scoring this year though. So I don't think you've been paying close attention to my posting.
You know obsolete is not the same as useless, right?

I know what obsolete means. In this case, it would be an antiquated statistic. One that is out of date and has been replaced by a newer way to measure data.

I probably view it as more relevant than you do. And, actually, I would not want the message relayed to Carmelo that 13-30 is great. I want him to strive for higher efficiency. I was just pointing out that I've seen him killed for games like that, seen them called "masturbatory exercises" for him. So it was odd to me to see you saying that he needed to learn from Durant after he had a shooting night like that.
