Counted as an All-Star member in the OKC lineup, Carmelo Anthony is expected to come up huge in the closing stages of the game. He is trusted with the ball in crucial plays and expected to deliver on the trust shown by his team on him. However, he has done anything but that.

Anthony is recording meager returns of 2.9 points per game on 36.5 percent accuracy from the field in the fourth quarter. What's worse is his free throw percentage - a torrid 66.7 percent.

One can barely forget him missing those two free throws against the Boston Celtics five days ago which opened the door for the home team to swish a three-pointer in the final seconds of the game to steal a win. His most recent inaccuracies against Portland have been already explained.
