Lol, give me a break dude...how often is a jump shooter fouled. That's basic basketball. You want calls...go to the rim or get some post touches.

Knicks are jump shooters therefore they will never get calls

"Melo was going inside over and over and over **** outa here with this jump shooting..."

Melo can't be the only one, the pacers were more aggressive and set the tone the more aggressive team usually gets more calls

At some point it's a Melo issue, not 2 dozen referees with an agenda.

He's not explosive, has poor body control and balance and can't seek out contact that well. He got smacked on the head once without a call, other than that..poor job of finishing, per usual.
 
Magic is horrible but he has come a long way, google a little late night talk show called "the Magic Hour"

The video where Howard Stern came on right? Completely killed his late-night career on live TV? Haha.

Priceless.

Only reason why I heard or saw the video was because John Salley brought it up.

The truth usually lies somewhere in the middle.

Melo does lack explosiveness. The Pacers were a lot more aggressive on the defensive end. But miss me with the inaccurate jump shooting jargon. Hibbert and West were allowed to play extremely physical down low, as should be the case in a playoff game. The Knicks bigs weren't able to match, partly because you have Carmelo Anthony playing the 4 all game.

Man you'd think Rudy Gay was KD reading the last few pages. :lol:

Memphis' execution down the stretch was lacking and they still had a chance to send the game to overtime if Pondexter hit his FTs.

As far as "clutchness" Z-Bo has proven that he can make big shots when need, particularly in the playoffs.

If the Grizzlies want a player to take 25 shots to get 18 - 25 points then you can say they miss Rudy Gay.

Exactly, we went further than ever when Rudy was out and hurt in 2011 w/ Z-Bo proving himself as a beast.

With Rude in 2012, we lost first round, not to mention Rudy had chance to win game 1, but missed game winner after clippers came back down 25+
Y'all know ZBo shot 33% against the Thunder this season. Nick Collison used to lock this dude up. He does this thing where he touches him in the back on opposite sides of his body and ZBo can't figure out where he is when trying to back him down.

I wouldn't be shocked if OKC won this series though I am not expecting it. Grizzlies don't score enough nor hit 3s so 2 of the Thunder's biggest weaknesses aren't taken full advantage of. I'll let Prince shoot that broke *** jumper all day, late contest is enough, basically same with everyone except Conley and Poindexter



Here's pics from game 1 Memphis Grizzlies @ Oklahoma City Thunder

He's not doing what made him so good all year. I'd be shocked if his shot charts look anything like his regular season. Just feel like he's not posting up enough. It's not size, because the Celtics didn't have size and he was pretty bad in that series a lot of games too.

I was thinking earlier. Could it be fatigue? He hasn't had all that much time off since the lockout, and then the Olympics. He's not a physical freak like LeBron. Maybe his body is just tired.

I feel like the lockout has at least something to do with it, doesn't it? Just look how many big time players are dealing with injuries. Can anyone name a team where injuries haven't trampled their team?

Knicks, Lakers, Timberwolves, Celtics, Bulls, Spurs, Thunder, Nuggets, Mavericks, Blazers, Warriors, Sixers, Wizards all had some pretty dire injuries throughout the season/postseason.

I know injuries are apart of the game, it just seems like this year we had so many big name players get hurt. Within a span of a year: Kobe, Russ, Rondo, Rose, Love, Dirk. And that's not counting guys that only missed a few games but have played banged up all year.
 
Not putting these pics in a spoiler. You have to see them. Sure Getty caught some better looking ones, I have an Android.

The Knicks took nearly half of their attempts inside the restricted area but couldn't find any kind of success in there. Take a look at their shot chart on the day:

I'll ask again. Did you watch the game?
 
No worries all those kids can work at one of Magic's Starbucks or movie theatres

Magic on ESPN = Shaq on TNT

Could have sworn he liquidated those Starbucks and almost sure the theaters as well to buy into the dodgers but ok....

It stinks that anyone has to be hurt, but Rondo's bummed me out majorly. Dude literally didn't even know he tore it until the next day. Freak accidents.
