The refs only f*cked us over the first two games. Antoni handled the rest.

Injuries more then anything...
And I have to admit, Pierce sorta took Carmelo to school :redface:
Carmelo was too quick to jack up shots while Pierce used slick moves, fakes, and stutter steps to free himself for open shots. I hope Melo took some notes while he was in class
Carmelo was facing a better team defense then pierce was, and while this statement holds some validity i think its also an excuse. Im not trying to be biased, Carmelo is as talented as they come. He just needs to make a few minor adjustments

Yes, I am.
Just check his playoff stats on nba.com.
Carmelo Anthony
Playoff Stats: http://www.nbaplayoffs.info/playerfile/carmelo_anthony/career_stats.html
I like Anthony as a player, but a max contract superstar is supposed to bring it in the playoffs AT LEAST 75% of the time. He only brings it 45% of the time.

It is no coincidence that I placed Carmelo's name in the poll as a cause for the sweep: Carmelo is very inconsistent in the playoffs. I have actually been shocked at the lack of attention his choking has drawn.
In any case, under the bright lights of NY, he better become a consistent playoff performer or get ready to be deemed the next Vince Carter.

I think the numbers vary from year to year, but, as ABCD pointed out, Melo is great on some games and terrible on others. This is why I see him as having to take a backseat to STAT, playing as our second option, rather than trying to be the leader.
By the way, I'm a Melo fan and want him to do well for us. I actually like him more than STAT. I just feel that the numbers don't support him trying to do more than he is capable of.

No I agree - I think STAT should have been the first option...but statistically he is pretty similar, though he had one ridiculous night and one really off night in this series.
That said - do we really think Felton, Chandler or Gallinari would have done much better?

That's a tough one. They showed they could step up against the big teams. It could have also depended on if we didn't get Melo and got a back-up for Felton or something. Felton was needing some help for rest. He hasn't seemed the same as he was in his first couple of months though, even in Denver where he got more rest.

Na, I'm glad we have Melo. Just saying: he needs to use the great opportunity he has, to play with STAT, and not play himself out of the game with bad decisions.

So overrated, he's just the luckiest coach of all time.

lol at those idiots saying Jackson is overrated. He has 11 rings. In 1994 he didn't have Jordan and they won 55 games.
Well the poll is seeking our opinion on why we got swept. I think the refs were the main contributors for that. As for the fact that we lost the tie; for that I would suggest many reasons, one of them being the coach though the entire team (including staff) should be treated with leniency for this year. Next year will be a different story. It's not as if anyone expected this team to beat a Boston team that has been together for many years.
Ever heard of sarcasm?
Let's not leave Popovich out of this. They may not have been swept but fuc*ing hell. Memphis?!

It takes stars to win. Look at Phil, he only wins with star players. Not even Phil Jackson could win with this line-up...
