You put way too much faith in this guy. We'll see what he does tomorrow. It'll be a defining game for him and the team.
lmao I put to much faith in this guy
come on dude he does this

History is that. History. What matters is now and the future. He better show up tomorrow. Carmelo and STAT have been major disappointments since their returns. 7 straight wins w/out these cats says a lot about their value on the team.
you must not be watching Kobe right now LMAO
anyway Melo has to be Melo he cant be Fields, he has to look to score, rebound and defend but when the games on the line or 5 minutes left in the 4th tied game vs Chicago/Miami Melo has to be "THE GUY" like I said I love the way Lin is playing and Melo has been asked to do too much this year with not help but once he regains form and finds his rhythm he is our guy in the 4th no one else
thats the thing about this Lin shit, he's been doing it for 2 weeks Melo has been doing it his whole career
no. stop. he can't look for his shots and be "the guy" to the detriment of the team.
n trust me the kobes, jordan and pierce's figured out how to play within the flow, get there teammates involved for most of the game n dominate when it mattered most.
common man i ve been watching the game too long. i know what winning looks like. we CANNOT win shite w melo dominating the basketball like we've seen him do. no chance.
whatever dude its obvious you dont see what we're talking about
ok man i don't know what im talking about. ive only been addicted to this game since the age of ten (23 yrs).
im trying to be objective.
listen i like melo. i like his game. but i also like and care about this team n i know how this thing needs to look.
melo only needs to dominate for stretches on this team, w this system n the type of talent we have man. if he does too much he disrupts the chemistry, balance n flow of the offense. plain n simple.
i know this disappoints team melo, but he has not taken that next step yet in the league.
he doesn't play D well enough and he hasn't shown the ability to make teammates better yet.
dude thats what I'm saying the fact that guys want him to be a role player is where things go south, Melo is a 25point guy he's won more games in his career than he's lost I get what you're saying and you're not wrong but neither is "Team Melo" at the end of the day he's our best player and thus should be treated like that
no. i see where you guys are coming from but you're all pretty much wrong.
how are we wrong when we say Melo should be allowed to play his game
again.. because him playing his game steals the flow and unpredictability from our O.
please try hard to understand this and you'll have my respect.
good teams will understand how to take away the things that have been going well for us
no penetration from Lin
no attacking from Landry
no lobs for Chandler
no open look for Novak
but one thing that a team can not take away is a healthy in rhythm Carmelo Anthony, we gotta make sure Melo is always in rhythm whether it be from scoring or just creating offense, because when the Heat put LeBron on Lin, Wade takes Fields out the game and their bigs dont allow STAT and Chandler to get space Melo is the guy we have to go to now if he isn't in rhythm and we have no offense to speak of then what we cant score and we lose
so making Melo strictly a role player is a bad idea but letting him shoot or running through him is also a bad idea, Melo needs his iso's just not as much as he's been doing the 1st half of the year
what about the pick n roll?? see this is what im talking about. people try to debate me when they really cant see the game from multiple angles.
what about the pick n roll?? now that we have lin it is our escape valve. the pick n roll opens up everything in this offense. lin can get in the paint at will w it (n on his own) and score or draw n kick out to shooters or find a cutter.
we dont nd melo n his isos accept for maybe late in games. we need him to sit on the perimeter and make shots. when hes making defenders will close hard on him. then he needs to drive by them n finish or draw n kick himself. he needs to do all of this quickly n in the flow.
yeah dude lets run the pick n roll every time with Lin yet you were just stating Melo takes away the unpredictably of our offense, I dont know if you notice but if we go Melo iso, Lin pick n roll, Melo pick n roll, set play for STAT or JR or Landry then we have unpredictability, i for one do not want Lin going pick n roll for 43 minutes then iso'ing Melo for 5 minutes when the game is close thats retarded
do you really think i mean we should run pick n roll every possession or r you just trying to amuse the forum w your lack of understanding?
you're not wrong but neither is "Team Melo" at the end of the day he's our best player and thus should be treated like that
