I don't exactly remember each of those games, and you might be right from a fg% point of view. all i know is i was in absolute fear everytime melo touched the ball. I judge players primarily by how they play in the playoffs and especially when they face the Lakers. Melo put more fear in me that year than anyone else. he was destorying our guys down low forcing doubles. he made kobe look like a little kid trying to guard him. we had no one. all we could do was pray he missed. he may have missed shots, but there was no denying he was the best player on that team and second best player on the floor.
if it wasn't for a superhuman effort by Kobe, i think he averaged 35/5/5 that series, we woulda lost.
