Melo is averaging 4rpg, 1apg, and shooting 40% in this series.

Not always, but I mean if somebody is padding their stats they are leaving an impact on the game more. I don't mean somebody carrying a bad team and trying to get stats. I mean like having 10 assists and 8 rebounds with 30 points helps the team more staying in the game, then somebody who relies on shooting only.

[QUOTE=kNicKz]False. He should stop taking threes and attack the rim, if that fails then he should post up. Who should he have passed to in game 5? JR Smith?[/QUOTE]
If Melo could make a layup, then maybe. But he's an awful finisher at the rim, I don't know if I've ever seen somebody blow easy layups more frequently. He's 12-25 at the rim in this series. :oldlol:

Maybe Felton? You know, the best Knick player in this series?

I hear that

Damn.. That's pathetic.

Brook lopez>Melo.

Haha and Knicks fans facepalmed me when I said Melo is not better than D-Wade. When's the last time Wade averaged 1 apg in a series?

Do Knicks fans still think they can compete with Miami? :lol

Best scorer? LOL. Look at the box score of KD's last two games. He was double teamed all game and put up those numbers

Melo is a inefficient ball hogging chucker. More than Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter.

[QUOTE=NumberSix]Melo is a good player. Not great, but solidly good. That's all he's ever been.

People have always tried to put him in the tier of the LeBron's, the Kobe's, the Wade's, but he's never been that. He's more in line with the Joe Johnson's, the Carlos Boozer's and the Blake Griffin's.[/QUOTE]

He is definitely better than Griffin, Boozer, and Joe Johnson...but I agree with the point you were trying to make.

Melo being the best scorer in the game is laughable to begin with. Give me eff and potent scoring over aesthetics any day

Melo going to be Melo.

No he's not.

You think this because in your mind there's a natural tendency to compare them with the assumption each one is at his best. You aren't taking into account how often Melo can be a liability, which the other guys are not.

If you were to make each guy a line on a graph, Melo would have higher peaks, but he'd also have deeper valleys. It'd average out to about the same.

Marc Gasol is a more valuable player overall than Carmelo. You need to look at the whole game and not just individual scoring totals.

I really like Melo...and his game, but this more par for the course.

He shoots 41.8% for his career in the playoffs. That just isn't good enough...but especially not when you dominate the ball and jack it up 22 or 23 times a night like he has in his prime in the playoffs.

And you can't average less than 3 assists per game when you dominate the ball like that.

It's not winning basketball unless he gets that efficiency way up. I hope he does...because the Knicks could pose some problems and make the East interesting.

I actually agree about Marc Gasol (or it is at least a debate...but the other guys just aren't as good as Melo)...but I think Marc Gasol is definitely better than those other 3 guys.

So I don't see your point at all. Boozer, Griffin, and JJ are just not as good as Melo.

Marc Gasol is a different story mate.

What makes Joe Johnson better than Melo :wtf:
