who blamed melo?

You called him out for his bad defensive IQ on that last play. That's a tough spot because the last thing you want to do is foul on that shot....Dirk is a master at making the off balance one foot shot which is the hardest shot to guard next to the sky hook.

I get calling him out on the last offensive possession but the D on Dirk was great. The shot was amazing. Also, isn't it funny that Dallas runs an iso for Dirk who has been cold all game but the ball bounces around and up to fall in. Only a few teams do not run Iso to end games.

Yeah Wally said the d was perfect on that play.

Carters D on Melo was perfect. Melo's D on Dirk was good but not perfect.

Exactly, and I wouldn't even call carmelos defense good.. he fouled dirk a couple of times and didn't even have his hands up as dirk went to shoot the ball..

The reported deal, mullens, Barnes, collisions, 2 second round picks for shump, ray and beno. Someone needs to be fired, either mills or Woodson, for allowing shump on the court that night.

Is that true? Holy crap. Woody should be fired just for that

I think we should be fair.. the clips didn't come to the knicks.. The knicks were trying to make a deal with the clippers.. The clippers didn't do the deal because they didn't want shumpert.. and that is just part of it.. most of all I think they just didn't want to part with collison.

I think they backed out because they didn't want an injured Shumpert. Not sure if the Knicks were looking for others offers right up to the deadline or what the thought process was. If it is as reported then Shump shouldn't have been on the court.

they didn't want felton... this was not some deal the clippers came to the knicks with... the knicks called the clippers.. shumpert getting injured of course ended any talks if there were any serious going on, but this was not some deal the clippers put on the table .. even with a healthy shumpert the clippers didn't want to part with collison and didn't want felton.

Reports were that they held their flight from taking off for 45 minutes at the deadline once the results of Shump's MRI were known debating on whether to do the deal. Reports also are that Doc really wanted Shump. Where did you hear that the Clips were reluctant to part with Collison?

the owner blocked the deal.... why else would he? so they wouldn't lose mullins?

I don't know if I'd go by Wally's opinion. He usually tries to spin everything to a positive in the post game.

Was it perfect maybe not but it was close. I don't trust the refs not to call a foul if he sticks his hands up and Dirk initiates the contact though. It is what it is.

Neither would I but to be fair Melo was reaching blatantly a couple of times before Dirk put that shot up and got away with those. I do think that the way that shot had to bounce in spoke volumes about the degree of difficulty - especially for a shooter like Dirk so I'd say Melo did a decent job.

nowitzki shoots 47% from that part of the floor. he just has great backspin so the ball has a better chance of caroming in.
