Same injury that M.Sanchez recently suffered

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1772247-why-a-torn-labrum-leaves-mark-sanchez-with-an-impossible-decision

I have never torn my labrum but the Keeper on my Soccer team did this past year and its no joke. Swinging his arm in a walking motion caused excruciating pain. After 2 1/2 months of P.T., He decided to go ahead with surgery. Pain free now but still out for 5-6 months.

Should Melo have sat out the playoffs after he injured it against the Pacer? Maybe...but then we would be bashing him for not playing through the pain. lose/lose

HOW ABOUT shoot less, play some defense.. and passing the ball? if his shoulder was that jacked up why keep volume shooting?

Who was going to pick up the scoring if he didn't score?

i dont think they built a near 30 point lead on melo's scoring alone against boston....game 6 against indy featured quite a few hot hands while he was on the bench.

There's a big difference between Sanchez and melo.

Sanchez throws with that arm, Melo doesnt shoot with that arm.

I'm not saying there was nothing wrong with melo, we know it was...but he's always been a poor shooter in the playoffs as a Knick...INJURED or NOT.

Are you being serious right now?

his teammates?

I know this topic has been beaten to death already...but go ahead and crunch those numbers.

How do you measure Melo's D?

Apparently some here think that basketball is now a one armed game.

Simple, JKidd.

Or the ghosts of all the assets we gave away to get this volume shooter.
