I have to say, what Carmelo did today was AWESOME
He had one of his worst shooting nights of his life, he was being hit and grabbed on every posession with no calls, being denied of the ball by a savy team like SA and double teamed every time he touched it.
STILL he kept focused, didin't force shots, didn't try to play point guard or play 1 on 5. Kept making passes, playing strong defense and fighting rebounds.
There was even a play right in the midst of the Knicks comeback in the last 3 minutes, in which he found himself in the elbow with enough room to shoot in transition, having shot nothing in the fourth quarter, he passed it and it resulted in a JR Smith trey. That is a guy playing for the team.
I think his effort and attitude should be recognized.
