I'm honestly disrespected and am close to demanding an apology.
If you wanna say George is good, I'll join you.
If you wanna shit on Carmelo because he's not as good as Lebron, then you're by yourself.
But don't disrespect the technique. Look at what you just did here:
-When Carmelo is pulling his dick out and pissing all over George, as he was the whole game, "Carmelo just got hot."
You say this in an attempt to diminish the role of Carmelo's goodness in the performance. Its not that George couldn't stop Carmelo (which he couldn't). Carmelo just had a random case of the hots.
When Carmelo goes cold in the 4th, however, "Carmelo got locked down by George."
So when Carmelo is pissing on George, Carmelo "just got hot."
When Carmelo was not, he got "locked down by George."
So the role of Carmelo's goodness is mitigated. The role of George's goodness is elevated.
Just stop.
Even stranger: the pivotal play of the game happened when Carmelo blew past his defender (forgot who) and got blocked at the rim by HIBBERT.
George was almost completely irrelevant in that game versus Carmelo. Carmelo basically did what he wanted. IF YOU HINGE your agenda on George being able to stop Carmelo, then game 6 was a huge dent. You'd better backtrack and shift to George being a crafty, clever ball handler and intangible wizard. He shot horribly, made poor decisions with the ball and got burned by Carmelo in Game 6. Plus, the team leader in their darkest hour was BORN READY.
And this is a BORN READY post.
