I can't believe how much Melo has fallen. Bricking wide open 3s and layups.

Melo missing a layup like that is mental. He's playing hard, he just has no confidence the shot is going in. Melo got the yips?
The hottest of takes...

Trading for Melo was the biggest mistake.

Hes lucky Roberson is out, he would barely break double digit.

Wth is this thread so dead, this is the best series in the first round..

PG is a better defender.

With Roberson they both can take turning playing d, Pg don't have to use as much energy.

And Utah will give him wide open shots and can apply more pressure on Westbrook and PG.

Roberson was pretty good at cutting to the rim and with him they were #1 defensive team in the league.

Well after going 3/3 from behind the line to start, he's missed two, and is 3/8 FGs. He was 13/20 last game and 8/11 from 3, so he's playing a little more like a human tonight. The team as a whole has cooled off a bit.

Post All-Star, he went .409 on 3.8 3PTAs in 23 games. Towards the very end he was on fire, averaged .500 on 4.5 3PTAs in his last 11 games. He really has improved dramatically since 1/24, something simply clicked for him and the team on that date.

The Jazz need another quarter like the last one, where they add another 5 or 6 pts to their lead. Then they need to be ready to withstand a 4th quarter barrage.
