wtf?
Melo has played great.. if I were him I wouldn't put my head down but blah who cares.. go spurs
If you kept it on TNT after the game, they just showed a clip of Melo crying with his head down and some Assistants trying to console him like the season was over.
Damn. The Spurs done ruined him.Quote:

Every team has to go through shit years to get to the top. Some teams go through shit years and never make it to the top though.
We are to them what the Jazz were to us. Thank God we never had to play the Jazz again.
Not a classy post IMO.
He had street cred ??? :wtf

(Object above may not be actual sucker punch)
:lol Kobeed
O man he is gonna go stupid come next game and when he knows they will lose, He is going to Kill Manu kick Rob in the nuts and try to butt rape lil Parker. If i was the Spurs I would have some mace in my socks and my shorts string tied very very tight.
Someone needs to make an "owned" pic out of both of those. He's done, and Iverson looked like he just saw a ghost in the post game interview. After all of the bullshit coming out of Denver after game 1 - I say FUCK YEAH!!
Caramelo lost all street cred at MSG.
someone needs to photoshopped this sucka, with a spurs PWND tatoo like kenyon martin in 05 hahahhaQuote:

If you put your heart and soul and everything else you have into something and lose, you probably couldn't help crying. Give the guy a break, his dream was just broken.
That's what I was thinking!Quote:

Besides, it's about as classy as TNT cutting to Carmello on National T.V. IMO, talk about High Horses.
Nothing wrong with laughing at a man crying about series that isn't over yet.
Poor Melo, the Spurs have broken their spirits. Series over.
:tuQuote:

There's nothing wrong with a man showing emotion. He must be pretty frustrated having given his all and now being down 3-1, but he is up against a 3-time championship team.
However, that being said, Melo should get over it already. He's got a good, young, developing team around him, and a long way to go.
Spurs need to deliver an old-fashioned country blowout in the next game-I want to see more tears. Fantastic stuff.
Yup. There will be a day when Lebron, Wade, and Carmelo will be running the league.
Not while Duncan, Nash, and Kobe , the best 3 players in the NBA, are still around though.
no weve been waitin 4 him to show up and he still hasnt....must be crying stillQuote:

good point Ruff, they are very young and have many great years before them
Melo is supposed to be at the podium very soon.
Please, I didn't see any of the Suns crying last year after game 4 against the Lakers. I believe they went on to finish their dream for one more round!Quote:

tear gas man, they use that shit on crowds!
I'm reluctant to play the sympathy card. AI's reaction to the loss was much better, and I know this guy expects to try and beat this team as much as Melo while still not getting his hopes up.
Melo's still immature. That's why he was crying like a bitch.
he just showed up......in the meantime im watchin my tivo of raw and in the front row there is a GO SPURS GO sign
Melo: "I'm in shock. I don't know what happened." :lol
There is no shame in crying, especially after a game like this one. Some of you are harsh!
I agree that he's immature, but I've also seen mature, grown men "crying like a bitch" when emotionally overwrought. Melo's just seen his dreams crushed before his eyes, and he's only, what, 24, so give him a break. It's a good thing that he cares that much!!!Quote:

Criticise Melo for whatever you like, but cheap shots because he happens to have cried about 6 months work down the toilet and shattered playoff dreams are pretty low.
What happened to the NBA dress code? Melo went with the Eddie Murphy throwback jacket.

Crying is ok ; I mean, Melo has worked really hard, he plays to win ; emotions catch up

If we were all a bit more emotionally honest, and didn't ridicule each other for having feelings, the world would be a MUCH better place.
Melo has been consistently excellent in this series, and he must be shattered. As he siad, he's "in shock". I've been there and it's a horrible feeling.
He's an idiot (the suckerpunch) and a wannabe gangster sometimes, but I'm not gonna bitchslap him for caring deeply about winning.

Just in case you don't get it, that was a throwaway line. :rolleyesQuote:

What happens when you don't cry when you feel the need? You bottle it up, and the emotion explodes later on. Crying can be very healing and cathartic if you feel the need to do it.
I'm not American, and thankfully I don't have any friends on the frontline.
I'm so sorry for him. :lol
bein upset and disappointed is OK but cryin wtf
Yo it's not like his season is over. He very well could have 3 more games to play the way both teams are matching up. But to let your emotions get the best of you at this stage of the series, that's like saying I give up already. And quitters are punks in my book. Man up and come stronger in San Antonio.
Anyway, we won and did it with guts and grind, good ol' SPURS BALL!
Melo, there is always next year, and you get paid $15mil/yr to do what you love, so get it all out and come back and see us next year. ;)
Crying is NOT okay in this situation, it's being weak when your team still needs you. If you want to cry after you are knocked out, that's fine, but crying when you're still in it?
Attitude of a quitter. Denver is going to get totally blown out next game if he doesn't pull it together and realize they still have a chance. We didn't cry when we went down to Dallas last year, we knew what we had to do and we took it to 7 games.
He shouldn't have cried in PUBLIC now Spurs fans have that for ammo!!! That was where he went wrong!undefined
I have no problem with a man crying. Like other's have said, if he was eliminated fine.Quote:

:lol, I'm not going to hold myself above that. There's no doubt in my mind, that when TNT showed him in his locker room being consoled, my dad would have laughed with me, along with a million other dudes watching the game. It's all about when it's appropriate. If I were Horry, I would say "oops, I guess I can't help but feel partly responsible..." stifling my laughter.
You don't have to cry to show you care about the game.Quote:

It's FUNNY! For Christ sake, it's not like we're laughing Melo' because he's crying over his mother dying, or even CAT! He's down 3-1, and started crying because he prematurely ejaculated.
How bout' keep yourself out of foul trouble next time to keep the waterworks in check.
That's true, he should have done it in private.Quote:

Aren't the conference rooms for the media?
I agree it was a sign of weakness, when the series isn't over.Quote:

At least Wade was in pain when he blubbered like a pre-menstrual teenage girl.
Fair enough, agree to disagree.Quote:

If his team wasn't playing mine, I'd feel sorry for the guy. He's been great and he keeps getting pipped at the post because his team isn't good enough.
I didn't say crying was the only way to show you care about something deeply, but some people do show it that way, and Melo is one of them. maybe he's not "mentally tough" enough, but he isn't a pussy because he broke down when he saw his season ending (and don't argue that you believe they can win the next 3, because I know you don't believe that).
See, it's comments like that that I'm talking about.Quote:

Oh, I don't find crying funny, but it's not like anyone means anything by it when they laugh, give me a break. :lol
I guarantee you every man in this thread has cried when they didn't want to, but I'm sure they don't care if someone calls them out for it, I don't.
Umm....I see no hardcore evidence of him crying. He just has his head down. But If he is........I Agree.....Haha OwnedQuote:

And I'm not gonna lend sympathy for Melo, because several teams see their season end, and are ultra-competitive. Melo got unlucky because the TNT camera dude probably showed it, and was laughing.
That's a whooooole other topic. I enjoy gender studies, but that's for a club/politics post.Quote:

Broader points belong in the political forum. The Nuggets and their fans talk a lot of shit. Anyone from Texas that's been to Colorado has to feel a little extra happiness at Denver's continued humiliation.Quote:

Yes, let's agree that his public display was "unprofessional" because the series isn't over yet. That I can accept. You are right, today was the wrong day for Melo to break down, but he knows his season is over, and that's why it happened today.Quote:

Anyhow, I'm going for a ride, later all.
Luv,
Ruff :D
Now THAT I can definitely agree with! I just wish they were Dallas fans. :lolQuote:

seems that this series is way too easy for you guys. congrats
My friend you couldn't be anymore wrong. This series is anything but a walk in the park. Other than the shocking possibility of a 1-8 upset, this has been the best series in the first round, because it is such a great matchup. I wouldn't put it past you guys to see one more game in Denver. But don't get me wrong, dejavu is a good thing this year.
Someone in the lockerroom threw a sock and it hit Melo in eye. Nothing to see here.
Move along.
I think it was Kenyon. He's saying sorry in the 2nd picture.
whatever man....the fact that its 3-1, it just shows that you guys are beating our asses ....and we cant even get a 2nd win. --- for FOUR STRAIGHT YEARS LOL --- that sucks.Quote:

Spurs fans are being stupid in this thread. How soon they forget the whole Spurs team breaking down in tears after being eliminated in 1995 by the Rockets. Not every team is lucky enough to have the best player in the game, with an All-Star backcourt and a top five coach of all-time to boot.
Shiii-i-i--yi--iit.
How soon you forget nobody's even been eliminated here.Quote:

How soon you forget JR Smith's pointless flagrant on Manu this year
How soon you forget Carmelo's ejection from last year
How soon you forget that this is the playoffs, it's all about exposing weaknesses
How soon you forget that this is the enemy here
How soon you forget the Spurs losing Game 5 in that 1995 series after tying it with two wins on the road and the subsequent crying in the locker room.Quote:

Who cares if the Spurs cried after getting losing a game 5 in 95'
I ascribe to Horry's perspective which is the TRUER perspective on the matter. No matter how fucking competitive you are. Ultimately, it's not a big deal. Emotions come and go with the game, but after that, who cares.
Like when he was asked about making shots like this, he said something like, (and I read this off before) "basketball isn't pressure, having a sick child (which he has) and making the best life possible for her is the real pressure and basketball ultimately doesn't matter."
Melo' is an immature prick, so who the fuck cares about his tears over a hard loss.
as aks wife says when a man cries its due to something beyond his control
Meh just let people get excited. If spurs fans never get riled up until they win it all, they're gonna have a lot of depressing years.
Who cares about 1995 or anything, seize the moment, there is no karma.
