I agree with you on that point (if you'll note, I said the same thing above about how when LA loaded up on the strong side there was no away from the ball movement which could have generated easy shots). Still, in 3 years I don't think I've ever seen Melo make a nice pass. Is there a Melo passing highlight video out there? I'd love to see it if so.

But hes on his way to 0-5 in the first round now and his playoff performances have been absolutely horrible...so I dont know, could be a mental thing. He never struck me as the quitter type but he appears to be very mentally weak.

I don't know. I don't enjoy watching him play and never have.

I think it all boils down to me not enjoying his weaknesses. Everyone has some weaknesses, and I found that me liking someone is more about me being able to laugh and being entertained by said persons weaknesses and failures, rather than about him/her being perfect. The same thing with my wife, friends or Shaq and Kobe Bryant.

Doesn't matter.

They all have weaknesses. I enjoy weaknesses of the ones I like, they entertain me a lot even when committing a mistake. The same is not true for my 'relationship' with Melo.

I'm far from being objective on this matter. I just don't like the guy, and probably never will.

It certainly looked like they stopped trying after a while.

I still can't believe the Nuggets were watching the NFL draft at halftime. Karl has to be fired, right?

What about them having Desperate Housewives explaining even more? :)

Melo quote after the game:

"In the 2nd Half, we all quit from the coaches on down to the players

Yikes..

I thought it was the ref's.

The Lakers have had our number from day one. I knew the minute I saw the Hornets purposely choking that last game away that we were in trouble. The Lakers are one of two teams the Nuggets haven't beaten this year, the Pistons be the other team.

The team needs to be blown up and built from the ground up for success in the playoffs, that includes GK getting the boot.

Denver is just terrible.

[dazed27]

the lakers are just determined to gget thier.....all the way to the top
