Hard to put up numbers when you are called for two ticky tacks in the first 2 minutes of a playoff game. I thought the playoffs were less whistle riddled. The offense foul call was home cookin all the way - Pierce had Anthony's arm and nothing was called, Melo pushes back and Pierce acts and almost flops to the floor - smart, but not a foul. Melo has been playing much better defense lately - I have no issues with that as a Knicks fan long suffering. Definitely coulda still won that game though, and the Celtics aren't going anywhere this year. Knicks will most likely lose - but anyone that says they don't want Melo on their team is full of it. He isn't my favorite, but give me a break.
