I still think they are dangerous, though.
All this means is more shots for Carmelo. Once/IF he gets going, that man is hard to stop. More shots/attempts for him, the less likely that he will have a terribly bad game.
I can see him going for 15-25 shots per night easily, now. Who else will get the rock?
JR? Lin? Tyson will get his shots, but this will be a feast for Melo, now.
And he'll be much more easier to stop, too. Between Pierce and Pietrus, we'd have him covered if we met in the playoffs. Won't have to be concerned with the threat from Amar'e if he isn't back.
If Melo would just go inside more (like I saw him doing in DEN), he'd have an even higher FG%. It baffles me as to why I see him chucking J's all the time. I saw him overpower just about all SF's out west when he did that. I guess facing Paul and Lebron here in the east makes him a bit hesitant from doing that now, though.
He is shooting a blistering
39% this year, and 24% from deep. WOW. And I thought Antoine was a volume shooter.
How in the world did he start over Paul Pierce in the All-Star game when Paul is the overall better player?
