You made my wife smile. She's been on this contention since early last year, I've been hearing it all weekend.

You can't do it for a little while. It has to be forever, and the way you play the game. It's not passing on a trial basis -- it's understanding how to play and trusting your teammates in order to win.
Who Melo is practicing with has zero bearing on anything. He's friends with Kobe.

Tell wifey to stop trippin'. Melo is ours and she will have to be happy with Kobe.

No. If your teammates can't hit shots stop passing them the ball as often.
Felton and Shump had to be the worst shooting back-court tandem I have ever seen.

Melo was running the point for us under D'antoni system before Lin. Melo was running the Pnr. He played the power forward position and agreed to guard guys much bigger his size (contributed to shoulder injury)
You guys act like he's an a**hole. No one remembers Marbury bailing on us is in Phoenix and flying back to NY.
I don't remember Melo yelling at his teammates for not giving him the ball, never seen Melo sulk, or complain.
Melo is not perfection but I don't let perfect get in the way of good. And Melo is damn good player.

He's not the GM though. You play by sharing the ball always. Let the GM put good players out there. You're not going to win NBA games singlehandedly so you might as well trust your teammates if your goal is to win. Passing to a bad teammate is still better than trying to win a game yourself.
