Uh oh.
“When you’re going through it you’re in the game, you’re making shots, the crowd is going crazy, your teammates are going crazy and you don’t really realize what you’re doing until you get in the locker room and it’s on TV and you’ve got everybody talking about it,” Anthony added. “I’ve never done anything like that or felt that way in one quarter.”
Leave it to your friendly columnist to rain on Melo’s parade, but I couldn’t help but ask him about the two free throws he missed in the quarter. At the time, they seemed rather innocuous. However, all it would have taken is one of those free throws for Melo to be alone in the record book.
“I did what I could do, man. My elbow was hurting during those free throws,” Melo quipped with a smile. “I wish I could have made them now that I look back like you said, but it is what it is.”
As always, any NBA Basketball related comments are welcome.
