Carmelo

The NBA boxscore line of the night belongs to Carmelo Anthony. In thirty minutes of a loss to the Jazz, Anthony, shot 3-20, missed all three of this three pointers, got to the free-throw line just twice (missing one of those), and added six rebounds and two assists, which are balanced by his two turnovers.
Everyone figured Carmelo for the next big thing, but at this point, I think I'm going to start calling him the next big Jerry Stackhouse. He jacks the shots up with abandon, doesn't make them, and doesn't really add anything to the team peripherally, except for making contributions to the medicinal marijuana stock in the trainer's room.
