Owner Real Deal Posted January 2, 2011 Author Owner Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 DENVER -- Carmelo Anthony insists his legs were heavy, not so much his heart. Anthony was rusty in his return to the Denver lineup after a two-week absence following the death of his sister, and his teammates picked up the slack in the Nuggets' 104-86 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night. Anthony missed 15 of his first 18 shots and finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds. "As far as what was going on in my head, I tried to clear it out tonight when I stepped on that court," Anthony said. "As far as thinking about anything, I was good. I just couldn't buy a shot tonight. I couldn't find a rhythm. My legs weren't there. But I'm glad I got this one out of my system." Anthony hadn't played since Dec. 18, missing five games following the death of Michelle Anthony, a 38-year-old mother of four who died Dec. 21. The funeral was Monday in Baltimore. The Nuggets went 2-3 in his absence. Anthony said spending time with his family back home was good for his soul and that it's time for him to get back to work. Chauncey Billups, who led Denver with 22 points, called Anthony's return cathartic for everyone.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20110101_SAC@DEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliCurbStomppa Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 He was very rusty tonight but that won't be a problem because I know Melo will get his game back right away.. Maybe next game or the game after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multi-Billionaire Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Billups has been on fire... he's like 16-for-20 from downtown in the past couple of games including this one. Didn't see it coming. Melo forced a lot of inside shots against Kings big men, he's got his shots blocked at least 3 times. But he'll get his game back soon.
