Why Melo's playoff record is a cop out and grossly overstated.

[RicanHavok]

Yet those 'pussies' lead their respective teams to more success than the 'real' niccas'

maybe being a real nicca needs to be re-evaluated when in the context of 'team' sports. Cause their track record is looking compared to media darlings.

Nah, Westbrook is the real nicca in that equation, that's why he gets shytted on instead of Durant, while he's really the one leading the charge. It's all right there, just gotta look at it correctly.

 

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

the media and caucs hate real ni99as thats what it is.

They like pu$$ies like Lebron and Durant, when the thunder dont win this year ni99as will blame Westbrook watch and see.

so this is what real nikkas look like these days

[JerseyFinest!]

I notice you didn't address the fist pumps, the humble post-game interviews, or the playoff victories.

Melo loses again.

By Coli logic I guess you right

 

[AVXL]

Yes...I'm going to shyt on a coach with a 78-101 playoff record. You are what your record says it is.

The irony of you saying this, but continuing to ignore the fact that Melo has the WORST playoff winning percentage in NBA playoff history. 17-37 breh, defend that

I can't. that's the point you dumb ass. YOU'RE dumb ass is even smart enough to know that the Knicks were going to lose that series. Yet you STILL find a way to incorporate Melo somehow playing a role in it and hold his first round departures against him.

So Melo is at fault for the Knicks losing Game 2 against the Celts when he scored 42 points?

NBA 2011 Playoffs Knicks-Celtics Game 2 (Carmelo Anthony 42 pts) - YouTube

Wait a minute. Aren't you the same dude who criticized me for analyzing individual games in a series yet what are you doing? Analyzing individual games in a series.

I see now. Your shytTY argument now is that they should have one MORE THAN ONE GAME in playoff series you expected them to lose.




Look at this trash you're spewing below.




You're a shytty poster my dude.

You STAY moving the goalpost. Even YOU knew the Knicks couldn't beat the Celts or the Heat...yet you STILL found a way to make an anti Melo argument because he didn't win more than ONE GAME in playoff series YOU knew they'd lose in.

:

So for you & other Knicks fans (oh my bad you're a Lakers fan in NY) winning ONE playoff game in 2 seasons is acceptable. Win 1 out of your first 8 playoff games in NY & that's the new normal. Cool. Own it. But the NBA is a superstar driven league where a star player by himself can will his team to one or two wins in a series EASILY. But lemme guess, Melo plays with the NBA version of the Washington Generals every yr, routinely has the worst coach available & plays in the NBA golden era of quality teams in the West & East (at the same damn time )

You're pathetic

I can because players don't carry records....TEAMS and COACHES do. It's a forced bar. If that were the case, Robert Horry's playoff record would make him one of the greatest players ever. But let me guess....

THAT WAS DIFFERENT

Wait a minute. Aren't you the same dude who criticized me for analyzing individual games in a series yet what are you doing? Analyzing individual games in a series.

No...I'm not. I criticized you for playing this "only the first three games counted" while the ones where he beasted didn't.

Carmelo played well that ENTIRE series.

So for you & other Knicks fans (oh my bad you're a Lakers fan in NY) winning ONE playoff game in 2 seasons is acceptable.

1. I was a Laker fan since I was 10. You'd debate with a 10 year old.

2. This lie above is where you springboard the rest of your shytty premise. NO one finds it acceptable...yet everyone INCLUDING YOU KNEW THEY'D LOSE Iin a series against the Celts and the Heat in the opening round of the playoffs. Who gives a fukk about in how many games they won you shyt filled poster?


How many wins would YOU have been satisfied with in a series YOU knew they lose?


I'm CERTAIN You'd still be in here posting if they won 4 games in that period.

The rest of your post is not even worth addressing because it was brought forth from the above LIE you started with













































then ran with.

fukk outta here with your dumb ass, shyt filled logic. Ol'

ass niqqa

Robert Horry had a great playoff winning percentage & lots of rings, but was he ever an All NBA player? Multiple All Stars? Make an Olympic Team? In the NBA players DO carry records & DO carry teams. Like I said, star players make more of a difference than in ANY other professional team sport. Again Melo's the worst at winning in the playoffs EVER. 17-37

No...I'm not. I criticized you for playing this "only the first three games counted" while the ones where he beasted didn't.

.

Game 1: 11 points, 10 reb, 3 assists, 3 of 15 shooting, (-35 +/-)
Game 2: 30 points, 9 reb, 1 assist, 12 of 26 shooting, (-11 +/-)
Game 3: 22 points, 8 reb, 2 assists, 7 of 23 shooting, (-25 +/-)
Game 4: 41 points, 6 reb, 4 assists, 15 of 29 shooting, (+13 +/-)
Game 5: 35 points, 8 reb, 1 assist, 15 of 31 shooting (-6 +/-)

This is a good series? In 4 of the 5 games his plus/minus was negative. He took a ton of shots and made over half of them ONCE. He averaged just over 2 assists. The only thing he did well was score a lot of points & that was usually at the expense of his teammates so no wrong AGAIN.

Reb you're hurting my feelings! Stop! you fukkin bum. Keep protecting Melo & deflecting his failures onto others & everybody but him.

But don't forget this on your way out the thread:

From Elias: Among players to average at least 20 points in their regular season career, Carmelo Anthony has the lowest postseason win percentage in NBA history (minimum 10 postseason games played). Anthony has gone 17-37 overall, including 1-8 with the Knicks. Ten of Anthony's 17 wins came in 2009, when he helped lead the Nuggets to the Western Conference Finals before losing to the Lakers in six games. [+]

 

[RickyGQ]

the lack of logic some of yall argue with has me seriously

 

[Ritzy Sharon]

Dog...they made it to the Western Conference finals with Melo for the first time in damn near two decade

they made it to the WCF because Chauncey Billups came through and changed the culture of the Thuggets, demanded accountability and professionalism.

to argue Karl was the wrong coach for Melo-era Nuggets is a vaild position, but to give Melo all the credit for Denver's success and assign all the blame to the coach is disingenuous as fukk, G.

we see what Karl is capable of this season when his front office gave him a team full of coachable, hard working players. Nuggets could tie their franchise record in wins tonight and there's still 5 more games to play.

The only "same" here is George Karl, who you REFUSE to speak on having shytty playoff success before and after Melo was there.

alright, let's speak on how the Nuggets last season lost key players to China, was decimated by injuries, traded their veteran center for a project and still clawed their way to the playoffs and still took the 3rd seed to the brink of elimination.


you better milk that cow for all it's worth in the next couple of days, because that argument is getting thrown in the bushes once the playoffs start.

AYO KNICK FANS

STOP THE BLOODLAAT CRYING

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Look at the Hornets after CP3, look at the Nuggets after Melo. Now look at the Clippers with CP3 and what they were before him. Knicks didnt make the playoffs before Melo & with Melo they win ONE playoff game in 2 years. That's elite?



CP3 has taken his team to the 2nd round twice, also he's not the worst playoff "winner" of all time. Melo is. You talking like CP3 wins one or 2 playoff games a yr. Oh my bad. THAT'S Melo. CP3 has been past the first round more than ONCE in his life though, that don't count for nothing now?



Of course not. That's a dumb question to ask (what the media tells the public is gospel), but to act like perception isn't important is dumb too. Ask the Coli who you'd rather have between CP3 & Melo & it would be in CP3's favor overwhelmingly.



Like I said earlier, the media considers CP3 more of a leader & elite level player than Melo. Most non biased observers would probably agree to that too so yea CP3 probably will get a pass if the Clippers flake out in the first or 2nd round.

As for why one should one be considered elite & not the other. CP3 defends, passes & can score at an elite level. Runs his team at an elite level. Outside of scoring, what does Melo do at an elite level? Anything? Melo's game isn't as well rounded as CP3 & most non biased observers would agree. He's also not a leader. He's the best player on that team, clearly, but he's not a leader.

Look deeper than just the stats, look deeper than the playoff records, CP3 is elite, Melo is a very good player who's an elite scorer. The criticism of Melo would decrease SIGNIFICANTLY if people like you would stop trying to say Melo's elite & critique him a level below that. Y'all like to lower expectations for him anyway so let's start that movement & maybe we wouldn't be so critical of him for not having done shyt in the playoffs.

If you're a grown man, there's literally no excuse for you being this stupid.
