This is why I hate you guys. You have the shortest $#!#%%@ short-term memory.... Every little thing sets off niketalk public opinion in one direction or another.
Lakers have played well and executed better than the Nuggets in the final minutes of games. Melo and most of the other Nuggets (pretty much everyone outside Billups) are new to this situation and have made way too many mistakes. The question now is how will they recover from their second close loss. I have faith in Melo. The series is far from over. Regardless, I'm happy the Lakers have been showing up. I'll be keeping myself out of these threads as much as possible, though, to limit the amount of hate I build-up. I don't want to have to hate you, th0mas.
you won't catch me talking wreckless Wally. we both know what lies ahead for both teams is definitely gonna be hard earned. the closeness of the last 3 games is crazy, the games could have gone either way. it should be a good long series

QFFT
is this a serious statement...
If the Nuggs win a hard fought game with melo making a clutch play...
or not commit dumb fouls in a close game when your opponent is in the penalty... his over the back on Odom might have been dumber than hisinbound
so its completely carmelo anthony's fault they lost... forget about chauncey with poor shot selection, JR Smith not really doing much scoring,Kleiza not getting enough minutes, K-Mart with stupid fouls/bad inbounds...
If Kobe has a 3pt. Half and doesnt come up HUGE with Rebounds and assists...Originally Posted by ericberry14

stop trying to place all the blame on carmelo
I Like Melo, but throughout his NBA playoffs career he has a habit of playing worse then the does regular season.
The Numbers don't lie.
He is weak mentally IMO, because he has proven to be so.
This being backed up by decisions made both ON and OFF the court.
Is he evolving and improving as a player?
YES!
Does history tend to repeat himself?
Yes.
Numbers don't lie. He is not clutch in the Playoffs.
So yes it was a serious statement.
What are you talking about?! this is melo's first real run in the playoffs and he's done a great job....his scoring is up and he's elevated hisgame all around look if melo doesn't play the way he's been playing these games wouldn't even be as close as they've been....you're clearlygoing off of stuff he's done in the past and last night must've been your first time seeing him this post season because he's been beasting.....ifanything i felt like last night he got his $%% whooped trying to go 2 the paint and not get anything called in his favor in the 2nd half but got called forstraight touch foulsi swear it seem like everybody waitin for my dude 2 fail
oh and another thing its funny how bron makes his first game winner this year and then makes his 2nd the other day and he's so easily put into the categoryof greats ALREADY but melo leads the league in game winners since he got into the league and he still has to prove himself

The LAKERS LOOSE.

The Nuggets loose.
If "We" as NBA fans are going to put players like Melo on a pedestal.
As Team Leaders.
As Franchise Player.
As "Best scorer in the NBA" as some claim.
Then they must held responsible for both W/L.
Melo's 3pt. HALF is INEXCUSABLE.
You and I rarely agree on much. But I have to agree with you here.
hahahhaha Nuggets go suck some @#%##@%
@ you & all the other haters
$#%% you #!+@! !$! haters
%%%% YOU HATERS!!
!$$# the haterz!!!
And that's only up to page 70.
(I didn't include any names cuz I'm not here calling anyone out...)
Was the Gm 2 thread really like this after LA lost?? Cuz once the game was done (game 2), I didn't bother going back to the thread. I mean seriously...were "the haters" really out like that after LA lost?
Either way, the bottom line is that S&T is degenerating into a mess of a forum these days. I'm sick of going into a Laker game thread and hearing aboutLeBron. And the same for a Cavs game. Kobe isn't playing the Magic so why do I have to read about him in there? I think Bruce Willis (dyyhard) said itsomewhere in one of these threads that ppl just say *$%% to stir the pot. That's fine. But can the people who actually want to offer insight, strategy, andbreakdowns please post more?? Cuz it's getting harder and harder to sift through the fanboys, stans, and haters to find some good conversation.

Prophet.
edit:
Mamba's response right above is perfectly fine with me. A little bit of insight mixed with a dash of "take that haters!".
