Well to your point about Carmelo taking more shots.I recall Carmelo had the ball a lot more in game 2 and he couldnt really do anything, those are times we need another player to help create. Game 3 Carmelo played better, but it was game 4 I think he really broke out with a nice game.
Andre had an outstanding first half of shooting, which by the way he truly turned the tide when going in to half time with his half court shot. Carmelo really struggled in a lot of those games as I recall. It took him a while to adjust to the defense packed in to the lane.
I'm not sure how many times Carmelo got blocked by either Duncan or Nazr Mohammed, but i counted at least 3 times in game one. If Carmelo doesn't have his A-game going other guys need to step up. Thats why I think a big problem we have is outside of Carmelo we really don't have a top tier wing player to really help us when we get bogged down on offense.
Will Lenard, Hodge, or Buckner be the answer ? I'm not sold I suppose. I guess this will be a very interesting season to watch unfold. By the way if I'm way off base about our SG's and they play great all season and we get out of the first round this up coming season, I'll be the first to admit I was wrong.
