    Default Why did Melo struggled against the same Lakers that allowed Pierce to win FMVP?

    The biggest knock on Pierce's FMVP was that he was being defended by Radmanovic but was Milk facing that same defense that had him in a life jacket?

    Because you can't play off Allen and Garnett

    I feel they were letting Ray shoot because of how poor he was shooting in those playoffs.

    Pierce's game is more intricate compared to Melo's IMO.

    What series were you watching? And what the **** are you even talking about? How ****ing stupid could a team be to just say: "Okay guys, Ray Allen has been off for the majority of the playoffs, so were just going to let the most pravalent shooter in the league right now do whatever he wants." You are an idiot, shut the hell up.

    Because Melo was the priority for the defense, and couldn't be distracted by the likes of: Allen, Garnett, Rondo, and a surging Leon Powe. Only other guy who could consistently get a shot off was Billups, and he's not a star player.
