I know man. Wish he could have held it back and had a bad game against them just to thank me for all the support I give him on this site, but alas it was not gonna be so - his desire for vengeance too strong. I still think they did him dirty so they probably deserved it :/.

I hope Melo rewards this team with a very team friendly 2 year deal or something, there were plenty of other teams in the NBA that could have called him up but it was the Blazers that gave him the chance.

would love to see melo finish his career in portland as a top ten all time leading scorer. 2 more seasons would probably do it.

The sample size is now up to 27 games. That's 1/3 of an NBA season. Melo's TS% is now at .533. That's still below league average, but better than 29 other NBA starters and 88 other NBA rotation players. I think that is sufficient to show that Carmelo Anthony belongs on an NBA roster.

His performance continues to trend upward as he plays his way into game shape after over a year away from the game and adjusts to a new coach, a new system and new teammates. In 8 games during the month of January, he is averaging 17.9 ppg on a stellar TS% of .629.

The issue isn't nerds, it's just haters. Most who decided to band wagon this thread, have either gone quiet, or like the OP's last post in here, are refusing to admit they were wrong. Nerds I feel, can at least accept when the data shows they are wrong. Haters, can't.

You know what kills me? Threads based on a 1 game sample size, that's what.

Unlike the haters in this thread (who have miraculously disappeared), I have watched every minute Carmelo Anthony has played in a Portland Trail Blazers uniform. Those that hate on him like to point out how inefficient his scoring is as a way to justify their hot takes that he doesn't belong on an NBA roster. I was just providing some data to back up my eye test and show those who don't actually watch the games that he does, indeed belong on an NBA roster.

As my post states there are a lot of other players on NBA rosters who both produce less, and do so less efficiently, than Carmelo Anthony. He is still a below average NBA player, but so are half the players in the league. He is far, far, far from the worst player in the league, and the fact that he's on a prorated veteran's minimum contract actually makes him quite a bargain.

From what I've seen he looks much much quicker than two years ago. Good for him.

But I thought Harden hogs it because he's never had any help and all these players he does get would be trash without him

Beautiful watching him beat Houston! I'd have called you insane if you said I would be rooting for this guy 2 years ago. Feeling pretty good about my bet vs Westbrook TS% right now.

I think it's long past time to start a new Melo thread ... with a more appropriate title.
Melo is clearly a solid starter-level player.
