OG post said "no excuses when George outplays Melo". This wasn't about the Pacers beating the Knicks, or Melo having bad moments to latch onto. It was about "George outplaying Melo".

Didn't happen. Melo scored more, shot better, turned it over way less, and outrebounded George. George had more assists and steals.

Don't give me that George hounding Melo bullshit, when George is shooting 39% himself. Who hounded George into them 4-17's and 6-19's? I guess he gets a pass when he shoots bad himself?

Melo was the only reason his team was in any of those games and won any of them. He was the only Knick who showed up. Hibbert was the Pacers best player, and Stephenson and George Hill even each had their game as the hero. George was good and contributed a lot. He's clearly just scratching the surface of what he can be. If he can become a better shooter and cut down the turnovers, he'll be outstanding. But this wasn't about that, it was about outplaying Melo right now. He didn't.
