Those fans were specifically referring to games that they watched and witnessed him getting hacked with no whistle.

Not really they always make comparison to his free throw attempts in comparison to those who shoot more than him across the league. Matter of fact they were complaining about his attempts recently in a game where he went to the line like a dozen times. So really often times there's no rhyme or reason other than general complaining. Not to mention Melo dishes out lots of punishment around the rim.

That happens to everyone - especially guys who spend time deep in the paint. Have you ever watched Dwight Howard closely?

Yeah I did. Dwight was one of my favorite player when he was in Orlando. So, doesnt that mean the fans were right to wonder why Melo didnt shoot more fts?

Not really. You have to factor in that a decent percentage of all contact doesn't get called. A lot of the people complaining expect that to be different for Melo for some reason.

How much contact do people make on Lebron that doesn't get called? Durant? Wade? Kobe? A lot of people who watch Melo operate think that he just might qualify for the same treatment.

Alot of it has to do with perception with refs. Alot of times, guys bounce off Melo upon contact, and he tends not to exaggerate once he gets hit.

The other is relationship with refs. He tends to berate or argue non calls every chance he gets, this has to stop.

There's a reason he led the Knicks in techs.

Got to man up and play through non calls.

People make it sound like these guys get triple the foul calls Melo does. Durant takes less than 1 more trip a game to the line and I think Melo actually goes to the line more than those other players.

In end of game situations, there is definitely a significant difference. You make it seem like their is no bias by refs or the NBA. Did you forget that stretch where LeBron, who some feel is a all world defender, didn't receive a personal foul?

Unlike LeBron, Melo just complains after the whistle. LeBron is usually screaming like a woman who was just mugged as soon as someone touches him and can flop with the best of them. The fact that Melo isn't really a flopper is the key in my opinion and LeBron doesn't get the techs because he is the golden goose of the NBA. He says some pretty outlandish **** to refs, yet somehow rarely draws Ts. I mean the guy can get Stern to change a foul on Taj Gibson to a flagrant 1 w/ just a little crying. It's a joke.
