Though the Oklahoma City Thunder have lost home court advantage in their first round playoff series against the Utah Jazz, Carmelo Anthony isn’t sweating things much.
Anthony has been notably loose all season despite his share of struggles, even into the playoffs. He credits his time with the New York Knicks for that.
Melo, who has remained one of the loosest guys on the team through this season, on where that attitude comes from: "New York changed me a little bit for the better, just the way that I’m able to keep things in perspective and understand what’s important and what’s not important"

It would be fair to say that Anthony did not have the best of times in New York, but he’s taken some sort of positive out of it. It’s not quite helping his shooting, though. While he’s averaging a respectable 16 points per game through the first two games of the series, he’s shooting an underwhelming 35.5 percent.
