I agree 100%!  After learning about Melo's academic issues, the first thought I had was how could he do this!  I was and still am upset with Melo.  Every player must take full responsibility for their actions and duties on AND off the court.  When they fail to do this, they hurt the team.  Yes, Dion was selfish with the ball last night; however, Melo was incredibly selfish and irresponsible to put the TEAM in this position.
 
Last night doesn't actually bother me too much, depending on what happens moving forward.  Without Melo, the team's chemistry just wasn't there.  If he doesn't come back, I think our run at a final four takes a significant hit although they will learn how to play without him much better than they did last night.  I really doubt we will see the team play this poorly again.  If Melo returns, still some concerns about how we play in the half-court, but we should be a tough team that can and should go deep in the tourney.  Oh yeah, and all this talk about a go to guy... personally I think it's all crap.  The topic comes up now because everyone on the court wearing Orange shot horribly.  This is an anomaly, and when we play like we usually do in which multiple players have 10+ points, who cares.  For us, the go to guy is who is hot during that particular game.
