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

[QUOTE=NumberSix]Not to mention, that .7 on TS% is MASSIVELY skewed by Durant's constant parade to the foul line on bullshit phantom calls.[/QUOTE]

:oldlol: @ a Lebron fan complaining about the refs.

[QUOTE=kNicKz]So the best scorer in the league this year should pass more?

I understand jacking 3s in game 5 was a disgrace, but c'mon son. Troll harder, no one expects him to pass the ball. That's what point guards are for[/QUOTE]
He's not the best scorer in the league, Lebron, Durant and Kobe are better. Its just that mostly Lebron and Durant do other things than score and don't use 100% of their playing time trying to score like Melo. If they did, Melo would nowhere be near the best scorer in the league.

Honestly, if Lebron and Durant tried to play like Carmelo they would be worse at it than Carmelo.

:biggums:

LeBron in 2006 played like Melo and did waaaay better. He was even better than Carmelo is now:roll:

[QUOTE=tontoz]Which makes Durant the more efficient scorer. Period

Plus Durants team relied on his scoring far more than Miami relied on Lebron's scoring. Opposing defenses had to worry about Lebron's teamates much more than Durant's.[/QUOTE]
Yup

Technically you're right since TS is overall efficiency.. But when there's that big a gap in eFG it's worth something. That's a very big gap.

Bron is so much more efficient without the assistance of the ref's.. When FTs make up a 5 percent eFG difference.. That's crazy.

Part of the reason foul shots make so much of a difference is that Lebron shoots 15% worse at the line than KD. Is that the refs fault too?

And another part of the reason is he took 215 more FTs.. Which is absurd.

:roll: thread has derailed to KD vs Lebron cause it's basically unanimous that melo is a low iq chucker and there's no need for further discussion

First of all you completely dodged the fact that it isn't the refs fault that Lebron can't make foul shots. Secondly Durant played in 5 more games so looking at the total number difference doesn't make sense.

Durant averaged a 2.3 more foul shots per game than Lebron. BFD

So what you're saying is that Durant got to the line ONE more time than Lebron per game

And that the difference in TS% is do more to Durant being a 15% better shooter from the line?

Too much logic

If Durant played the same number of games as LeBron (76), he would have taken roughly 175 more FTs than LeBron. This despite LeBron taking about 150 more shots at the rim (even with Durant playing 5 more games).

Yeah...

[QUOTE=K Xerxes]If Durant played the same number of games as LeBron (76), he would have taken roughly 175 more FTs than LeBron. [/QUOTE]

Like i said Durant took 2.3 more foul shots per game than Lebron. Did you think you were correcting me?

[QUOTE=tontoz]Durant took 2.3 more foul shots per game than Lebron. What part of this is confusing to you?[/QUOTE]

How slow do you want me to go? Multiply 2.3 by 76 and you'll see how many more FTs Durant would have taken if they both played 76 games.

So what is the point of repeating something i already said? :facepalm

[QUOTE=Psycho]Lebron:

eFG .603
TS .640

Durant:

eFG .559
TS .647

I'm taking Lebron here.[/QUOTE]
