How much longer does Melo continue to get a free pass? I mean he's been an absolute dreadful nightmare since Game 1 of the playoffs.
38%fg and 26%fg(3pt) while doing little of nothing else.
Meanwhile Kevin Durant continues his model of efficiency through the playoffs....
Free pass from who? He was rightfully getting criticized in the thread.
I saw some of it but really he's been bad since the playoffs started.
After we beat Boston everyone was thumping their chests like Gorillas big upping Melo getting out of the first round. The rageful posts in this thread are created out of pure emotional instability.
If anyone has been following Melo for his 10yr career and this season.....as I pointed out
he shot 42 PACENT or below 24 times out of 67gms played
Had to know he was bound to perform like this.
I've never seen a Chucking STAR go FAR and he won't unless he changes. Who changes after 10yrs in the league? A team like Indy who is tough, hardnose, gritty, and on the rise....will expose players like Melo and J.R.
The series isn't over but Indy is for real. I said early on, I don't want to see them or Chicago and I meant it.
3G im agreeing hes sucked. Hes been awful. I just cant count him out yet. Ive seen how well this team is when hes playing right. Even the first couple of games of the series he didnt shoot well but he was able to contribute to the wins.
2 put this in perspective...
Melo has shot 10-35fg 1 game and 10-28fg today, totaling 2 playoff games...
He's missed 25 and 18 fga in respective games...
Meanwhile Lebron has missed 22fg over his entire first round...MIND BLOWN..... BLOW YO MIND

Why would my mind be blown from that? I think the entire world knows Melo is not Lebron.
It's not to BLOW YO MIND to say he's not Lebron....it's to show you the GAP and DISPARITY of his atrocious shooting display this post-season. And if it wasn't for his late chucking conversion in Game 2 against Boston it would be even worse.
In 4 Playoff Games he has 35FGA/1AST, 29FGA/1AST, 28FGA/1AST, 25FGA/0AST....<-------------FOREALIOUSLY this is the kind of basketball you grew up learning, watching, and loving?
When I was saying during the regular season in a game where Melo shot 34FGA(13 made) and J.R. shot 27FGA(11 made)in a LAUCE to Chicago was MIND BLOWING....Others Got They Johnny Carson on with the Somber Jokes at me.
Welp........"Tomorrow Came" as TKF Tried To Told Us
