When does everyone give Melo his apology? 

Post#1 » by Pharmcat » Sat Aug 8, 2020 8:01 pm

Another good game for him, dude is still a certified baller. Just goes to show how you cant just go off analytics because they don't take into account opportunities , game flow, etc at a detailed level.


Max kellerman , Morey,. Dantoni, etc were all wrong on him, he still has plenty left in the tank . Lakers should have signed him he would be their 3rd best player on that roster .

Form is temporary , class is permanent .

I'll save you the time.

My analytics show that he has never hit a 3 pointer on a tuesday at 2 while 6 clouds are over the Atlantic and my dog is taking piss so hes done in the NBA and never ever was supposed to be there.

Melo heard us. He got skinny. He changed his game. He is trying to play D and be more efficient.

He should thank us for saving his career.

How many thread have been created/bumped after a "good" Melo game? Is it a running joke at this point?

He's still inefficient for the year and bad at defense. His TS% since the restart is .498. (EDIT: His efficiency was actually average at the time I posted, I forgot to count the first game).

I think the Blazers are more than capable of beating Memphis twice in a row to get into the playoffs.

Bull crap! Melo played like trash in Houston, just like he did in OKC but a little worse. He shot poorly, played no D, stopped ball movement. No one in the city misses him.

Good that Melo looks to be in his best shape in years.

Let’s hope so. Might be done, doesn’t mean done.

I will right after he apologizes to the Rockets and Thunder.

He's playing better in Portland. Just enjoy some of the vintage Melo play while it's here.
