And still, I don't understand what one thing has to do with the other in any way, shape, or form...
Why couldn't/didn't his own teammates call a timeout when they got the ball back? If you're gonna talk about it not looking like the league gives a !$#% about a player, can't I just turn that around and say it looked like his team didn't give a !$#% if he got hurt? After all, these dudes know the officials aren't gonna stop the game for them and they still came charging down the court with Melo laying in the paint...
These are grown men... They can call their own timeouts and control the flow of the game... The same dudes that gripe ANNUALLY about officials being too injected into the game now want them even more involved...
Like I said, I still don't believe he was unconscious, and I sure don't blame the officials for thinking the same thing.
