    I watched the replay about 3 or 4 times now, and each time you can see his feet moving, while the ball is still in his hands, IMO, its a travel. But this being the NBA, of course, it wasnt called. Just my opinion.

    On what? The final shot over Trenton Hassell? I never thought about a travel. I'm just amazed at the shot he made. That was clutch by Carmelo, no doubt about it.

    Thats his 10th shot made with 10 or less seconds on the clock to either tie or win the game. He is 10-14 in those shots.While poor Lebron is 2-17. Oh well :nasty:

He caught the ball, and took a couple of little steps back to be behind the 3 point line, if you look closely at a Replay, you will be able to see it.

    I have yet to see a replay, I don't even know if they showed on at the game. I was just in complete shock after that shot. I couldn't believe it.I don't even know if I want to see a replay.

    I don't really care if it was a travel or not.The refs didn't see it so no call.I wasn't even paying attention to his feet anyways.

    Just because Carmelo hits clutch shots...people use it against LeBron? Sad.

    Does it matter if he did travel? The game is over and everyone knows everyone gets away with traveling.

    Ya. Maybe he did travel, and chances are he did, but players in the NBA get away with murder when it comes to that call. Players change pivot feet all the time, take an extra step under the hoop, its normal for the NBA. If Carmelo would have been called for it in that instance, it would have actually been a bad call, considering players get away with it the enitre game.And blender, don't mind BCB.

    Well, to be honest Garnett fouled Carmelo when Hassell stole the ball and threw the ally-oop to Garnett to tie it. They missed that call. So I guess it all evens out.

    How about Ricky Davis shooting the ball with 7 seconds left, the shot clock off, one on one situation from 2 feet out. He should've held the ball, and if it didn't go in, he'd be in the NBDL right now

You have no idea how many buzzer beaters (end of quarters) he has hit by doing that little pull-up jumper. That's his shot.

    Lol, Kg's a <Censored>. Sometimes he refuses to take the ball into the hands and this season when he has he's missed. I'm still in awe he airballed it. Atleast hit the ring like lebron you fool.edit: Oh and i forgot about clutch melo. As it has been said, his set the bench for clutchness this season.

    That was a tough shot for Garnett and Marcus Banks waited too long to start his move. In fact, it looked like Marcus didn't even run the play right. I don't know what Marcus was doing, and chances are Garnett didn't either.

    The one in where he airballed it was embarassing. He should've atleast his the f'n ring.And hassel was covering melo and guess what happens? He played good D too.

But bottom line: The game was tied, and he didn't have the open layup, so he should have pulled it back and let Minnesota shoot for the win or 2OT.And Carmelo Anthony is incredible in those late game situations. I remember his first year, Denver was playing Portland late in the year, with major playoff implications. Melo had some sort of migrane headache, and hit the game winner. The guy is incredible late in games
