Blood pudding breakfast awaits Melo after cereal controversy

Anthony said the fasting was for spiritual reasons. Said he was going out now to find the biggest steak he could right now.

Seriously, with the slow starts they’ve been having, I think it’s a legitimate question as to whether Melo’s fasting hurt the team.

Over the last 15 days (6 gms), Melo has shot 30.8% & averaged 6.5 points in the 1Q. In the 24 gms before that: 53.5% & 9.8 points per 1Q.

The headline on Herring’s story: Somebody Get Carmelo Anthony a Steak.

Frankly, we expected better from the British (they’re all British at the WSJ now, right?), something like “Blood Pudding Breakfast Awaits ‘Melo After Cereal Controversy.”

That was ours. We await the morning tabloids to see if they did better.
