WTf..Melo has taking chucking to a new level lol

[Hoopz2332]

in 4 games vs the Celtics

46-113 Fields Goals made/attempted

.407 FG%

and funniest stat of all

4 ast total

http://espn.go.com/nba/player/gamelog/_/id/1975/carmelo-anthony

how do get up 113 fg's in 4 games and only have 4 total ast?:roll:

This makes Kobe and Iverson blush:coleman:

[The-Legend-24]

4 assists? Dayum. :oldlol:

[treadster]

that's godlike stat!!:bowdown: :bowdown:

but seriously, melo probably lead the league in hockey assist if ask me.

[Straight_Ballin]

4 assists....that's just ****ing horrible.

[Clutch]

Should have been 5. They didn't count one in game 3 where he assisted Felton for a wide open three.

F*cking scorekeepers. They stole 25% of his assists. :lol

[Shepseskaf]

:oldlol:

Seriously, though, if there was any good result from that game its that Melo has to understand he can't shoot his team to a loss this way. If he's not feeling it, then pass the freakin ball. Felton should have had at least 10 of those shots.

Plus, if the suspension helps JR to keep his head on straight, its all good for the Knicks -- provided they close things out on Wed.

[Wavves]

:oldlol: Funny stats, but they are up 3-1 in the series, So keep chucking away Melo

[Trollsmasher]

So he missed more shots in one game than LeBron did in the entire series AND had less assists in the entire series than LeBron had in his worst-assists game.

:coleman:

[Sakkreth]

Shows Kobe how it's done :lol

[Trentknicks]

19-3 in last 22 games, haters aint gon count.

[KrizMiz]

now with westbrook and kobe out, everyone is paying attention to melo again'?

[Kews1]

That fact that it seems to be working means that its not really that important at the moment. It probably will be if and when they meet up with Miami though.

[kNicKz]

You don't get assists when your other options are Shumpert, Chris Copeland, and Tyson Chandler

And Shumpert's jumper is looking better and better.

[SpurrDurr]

No, he's an efficient free throw machine.

[Crafty]

Mvp stuff right there

[Le Shaqtus]

Those are some ugly numbers but it's not like they haven't worked, they're still up 3-1 :lol

[HoopsFanNumero1]

Mvp! Mvp!

[chosen_wun]

He lost them the game. Celtics choked hard but then Melo came in and literally shot them out.

I didn't say he was efficient :D

This is the bad thing about being an elite scorer. If you score and your team wins, people ride your jock all day. If you score and your team loses, people say you took too many shots.

Kobe experienced it. Allen Iverson experienced it. Now it's Melo's turn.

[Hoiids]

April 2013 :facepalm

19-3 in last 22 games, haters aint gon count.
19-3? Decent

Heat = 41-2 in last 43 games. On a 12 game win streak.
So yeah, there's that

[Shepseskaf]

This is the bad thing about being an elite scorer. If you score and your team wins, people ride your jock all day. If you score and your team loses, people say you took too many shots.

Kobe experienced it. Allen Iverson experienced it. Now it's Melo's turn.
Even elite scorers can't shoot 10-35. Its one thing to have a prime scorer's mentality. Its another thing to keep on shooting when you clearly don't have it, and cost your team a win.

Just pass the damn ball. Melo had passing good options -- post up, draw the double, then find Felton or Kidd for three. Shumpert was knocking down some jumpers as well.

This is about Melo's judgment, not the downfalls of being an elite scorer.

[longtime lurker]

Team is 3-1 who cares. Although the 4 assists did make me lol but this thread just seems like a bunch of haters.

[andgar923]

I would be here agreeing with everybody, but honestly

[jlip]

I read one Kobe stan actually say something pretty noteworthy not too long ago. He said that Carmelo is actually what Lebron stans try to say Kobe is. For all of the criticism Kobe gets for "chucking" he's yet going to get you 4-6 apg along the way. Offensively speaking, Melo is basically just a scorer.

[BBallZen83]

How about being a smart "elite" scorer. If you are having an abysmal shooting night, start feeding the hot hand and grabbing boards and doing all the little things to help your team win. Just play with in the flow of the type of game you are having and the type of game your teammates are having. That's basketball iq, adapting to what is given to you. Melo shot them out of the game late and was playing some really low iq ball.

[nashwade]

that's how the Cavs failed in the playoffs: One-guy offense

[retaxis]

Melo is a bit like iverson in terms of shooting percentage but also very productive. Iverson shot strategically. E.g. see his 2 big men crowding in the paint in transition for example..its going up. See his big men having deep position? its going up. Half the time the big guys will clean it up rather then shooting while none of his guys are close to the paint.

[K Xerxes]

[QUOTE=andgar923]I would be here agreeing with everybody, but honestly

[kurple]

To be fair, his teammates have missed wide open shots when he gave them direct passes. Also, he's had numerous hockey assists.. still 4 assists is not a good look.
that happens to every single player in the league. that is part of basketball

[Hoopz2332]

he's one dimensional and he doesn't even do that dimension with elite eff:coleman:

[DuMa]

i dont mind the bad shooting games but for **** sakes, he doesnt really hustle for loose balls or rebounds. HE LITERALLY Does nothing else but score.

[buddha]

To be fair, his teammates have missed wide open shots when he gave them direct passes. Also, he's had numerous hockey assists.. still 4 assists is not a good look.

and that happens to everybody else who passes the ball, they still get assists tho.

[NumberSix]

Chucking 28 shots per game on 40% shooting. Averaging 1 assist......


Dat MVP.

[imnew09]

They're winning and that's all it matters. Can ISH stop hating for one fken day?

[ShaqAttack3234]

Melo played like a superstar the first 3 games, had one REALLY bad game, and the Knicks are up 3-1 and going back to MSG. Nothing to talk about here.

[Trentknicks]

that happens to every single player in the league. that is part of basketball
Your right, it's all on Melo, so how has the Nuggets team based offense going for them?

[TylerOO]

To be fair, his teammates have missed wide open shots when he gave them direct passes. Also, he's had numerous hockey assists.. still 4 assists is not a good look.

You can say the same about almost every player. LeBron has more hockey assists than anyone

[Legends66NBA7]

This makes Kobe and Iverson blush:coleman:

Why would it make them blush ?

They are both far superior play makers compared to Anthony.

[sc19]

Jordan and Kobe, step aside. Melo bout to redefine the ballhogging game.

[tmacattack33]

To be fair, his teammates have missed wide open shots when he gave them direct passes. Also, he's had numerous hockey assists.. still 4 assists is not a good look.

...which could be said about anybody else as well.

[Suckafree]

That might work against the Celtics, but if he shoots 30 times @ ~40% against the Pacers he better hope JR and Felton are making any and everything

[asdf1990]

A ballhog chucker getting carried by his team while he chucks bricks like there's no tomorrow sounds a lot like Kobe's past 5 years

[TheBigVeto]

He's pulling a Kobe here.

[Ancient Legend]

Assisting is not expected of him if his scoring is what's really winning games.

But damn, 4 assists in 4 games makes Kobe look like John Stockton.

[Hoopz2332]

another gem by melo in game 6...another 24 shots but this time 2 ast!!!!


8-24 FG for 22 points!:bowdown:

Doesn't matter if his teammates missed a lot of shots last night. Melo is a well known ball hogging chucker for years. His career averages in Assists is 2. And people say Jordan, Bryant, Iverson, T-Mac and VC are ball hogging chuckers.

My roommate and I have drinking rules for every series so far now that we're done with finals but god DAMN I hate watching Knicks games becaue one of our rules is "take three chugs when Melo iso's" and that's every god damn play!!!!!!!!!!! I watch every Laker game, and Melo's chucking makes Kobe look like ****ing CP3 in passive mode (AKA his natural state... *****)

But for real, the Knicks are ****ing terrible. They have two plays: Melo iso or JR iso. And ROFL @ JR going 2-12 or whatever the **** he was before the game was out of hand. The JET got in his head something FIERCE and made him look like an asshole out there on the court.

Charles is right, **** the Celtics but god DAMN is it hard to root for this Knicks team.

[Force]

To be fair, his teammates have missed wide open shots when he gave them direct passes. Also, he's had numerous hockey assists.. still 4 assists is not a good look.

To be fair? Using that as an explanation for having not getting any assists in far from fair. You think he's the only guy who passes the ball to people who miss shots?

Felton basically made as many field goals as Melo while taking 16 less shots. :roll:

He will surpass Kobe's missed FG. Book it.

[BlackVVaves]

He will surpass Kobe's missed FG. Book it.

At least Kobe leads to SOME positive offensive plays through facilitating on those horrid shooting nights. 4-5 assists.

Melo has repeatedly been giving out 1 assist per game, WHILE shooting 37% from the field and 26% from 3, despite Felton and Shumpert having good shooting performances in this post season.

That, is the reason why he's not as great as people attempt to make him. Not because he takes alot of shots. SOMEONE has to take the tough shots, whether Melo, Kobe, Bron, ect.

No, it's because despite him having a HORRIBLE post season performance shooting the ball, he is unable to facilitate for his other teammates like Bron, KD, Kobe, Wade, and Westbrook can. He cannot affect or impact the game unless he's shooting (a solid portion of his rebounds comes from missed layups he commits).

That's why Melo is good, not great. That's why some people around here get on him and Knicks fans when they try to sell to us he's in the same category as say KD.

KD at 24 is better than any version of Carmelo Anthony.

[Jacks3]

Kobe has put up very good efficiency throughout his career and is one of the best non-PG play-makers in history.

lol @ idiots comparing him to Melo.

[jrong]

The truly amazing thing about Melo's 28 FGA is that he picked up his 4th foul 4 minutes into the second half and actually sat out the rest of the 3rd quarter.

[B-Low]

Just because stats are fun, and because Carmello was the only other player to get a 1st place MVP vote (thus denying LeBron of his unanimous MVP win):

2013 Postseason:

LeBron
PPG: 24.5
APG: 6.8
FG%: .627

Carmello
PPG: 29.2
APG: 1.8
FG%: .381

KD at 24 is better than any version of Carmelo Anthony.
He's a pretty capable playmaker when he is put into that position better than Durant but worse than Kobe or Wade. So i wouldn't say he is unable to facilitate but its really not in the Knicks gameplan for Melo to be running the offence they have Felton Kidd and Prigioni to do that. Melo passing more could of helped the Knicks but its not the main thing thats holding him back. Its the long isos and and is inability to get easy baskets that holds him back from reaching the next level. Melo is a terrible finisher and terrible fast break player it kills his efficiency Durant and Lebron are the complete opposite. The other thing that hurts Melo is his durability and consistency when both Durant and Melo are at there best there pretty equal but Durant barely ever has any bad games.

[Human Error]

It takes Lebron 3 games to shoot as much as Melo in one gm..:facepalm
And there are people who think Carmelo is a more valuable basketball player than LeBron. :facepalm

[che guevara]

Melo HAS to be the worst finisher in the game. I'm convinced of it. Nobody in the league is worse finishing at the rim. He was 3-10 at the hoop tonight, and for the playoffs overall he's an astoundingly awful 16-40, for 40%. League average is 63%.

Gotta pad those rebounding stats.

Dude often stands there putting up 3 or 4 misses in a row at the rim and just gets his own rebound each time. Finally it either goes in or a defender corrals it.

Then his stans come here and say "he's not just a scorer... he rebounds too! Look at his avg!!!!"

smh...

[OldSkoolball#52]

Kobe approves.


He really does tho. I'm pretty sure he's stated in interviews that he tells guys like Carmelo to keep shooting when they're struggling. Even as the team is falling farther and farther out of reach in the game because of the bricks. Just keep shooting.

That's dat Kobesystem :bowdown:

[secund2nun]

Kobe has put up very good efficiency throughout his career and is one of the best non-PG play-makers in history.

lol @ idiots comparing him to Melo.

They are similar in that they both have subpar efficiency, high volume, and can disrupt their offense with their shot jacking. Now granted Kobe is better and more efficient than Melo, but they are similar style of players.

[SacJB Shady]

I wonder how many points Curry would avg if he chucked as much as Melo. Probably more than Melo because 3's are worth more than 2's.

[talkingconch]

hes clearly trying too hard to blossom, he needs to settle down. He wants to leave his mark like other players have been doing. he will learn one day and go far in the playoffs, this year is not the year
