Why?There's pressure... then THERE'S PRESSURE.Doing it at home with the lead in a playoff game ranks about a 6 on 1-10 clutchness scale.When he does it on the road, with the Cavs behind... then that's 9-10 on the clutchness scale.Before yeterday LBJ was a 3 on the Clutchness Scale... let's see he if ever improves.
This has to be my favorite post in a long time. It is going in my sig.I don't know if it was intentional or not, but much hilarity. I couldn't care less about the NBA, but I had to see why this thread keeps getting resurected.Why?There's pressure... then THERE'S PRESSURE.Doing it at home with the lead in a playoff game ranks about a 6 on 1-10 clutchness scale.When he does it on the road, with the Cavs behind... then that's 9-10 on the clutchness scale.Before yeterday LBJ was a 3 on the Clutchness Scale... let's see he if ever improves.
Comments like this are funnier than the idiotic comments you hear on reality TV.I am a Syracuse fan and have followed Melo pretty closely in his NBA career. The only area where he is better than Lebron is that he can score in more ways. He's pretty much unguardable one on one anymore. But, Melo does not make those around him better and he is lazy on defense. He is a couple notches below Wade and Bron Bron thus far in NBA achievement. I cant kill him too much regarding playoff success, 2 out of the last 3 years, they met the Spurs in the 1st round. No one else is beating them either.Lebron > Wade > > > > Melo > BoshThe Goat said:I personally thought most ridiculous thing in the post was the unfavorable comparison to Carmelo Anthony. There's a "franchise savior" for you. What's he done, led Denver to a 3-16 mark in four first-round playoff exits?gferrell20 said:The Goat said:my bad ... somehow missed that one. anyway, i'm sure he's already been railed on for that comment. i always thought the "he can't win the big game" comment was complete BS. this lebron thing sounds pretty similar to me.
If everyone could stop using that term, I'd feel much more comfortable. TIA.I am a Syracuse fan and have followed Melo pretty closely in his NBA career.

clutchness scale
so far, James has 21 points (8 for 20), 9 rebounds, 7 assists and is 5 for 5 from the line.5:28 left in the game, Cavs up 81-80
James scored 9 points in the last 5 minutes of the game, going 4 for 5 from the floor with a 3 pointer and 2 dunks at the end that tied the game or took the lead. he did go 0 for 3 from the line though.EDIT TO ADD: the Cavs were down 88-81 with 3:15 left in the game. LeBron has scored 16 of his team's last 17 points.
this is just a game 5 though. let's see him do it in an elimination game.home clutchness downroad clutchness downelimination clutchness yet to be seen
what's that rate on the CLUTCHNESS SCALE?
I didn't see the game, heard he was ok, but let's see him do it without dragging Tayshaun Prince around the lane in a elimination game while playing with 4 dwarfs.
Pretty much. It will be real impressive if he beats Detroit in the series, and this is his coming-out party... but the Spurs won't let this happen
He's going to come out and kill Detroit in the second-half
He doesnt need to.. he's "seen enough before"...
Lebron = home clutchness, road clutchness, street clutchness personified.
But this is Thursday, and the semi-finals. It's not the finals and not everyone is watching. This is only a 6 on the clutchness scale. Wait until it's a weekend during the finals, game 7, when everyone is watching.He doesnt need to.. he's "seen enough before"...
guy just doesn't want it.
not really. 41 pts on the road speaks otherwise.
KobMe would have done better.
Agree... no heart. Carmelo or Wade would have scored all 25... No 16 was right...
you should just stop posting.
