The star forward indicated he’s not 100 percent. Occasionally a trainer will spend time flexing his wrist before a game in the locker room.

You could look it up.


The problem is that it's not like he just had one freak accident. His entire body is falling apart.

This is coming from the one who Pines for Gallo who sprains his dick going to the bathroom.

How is his body doing? Or, is he just one big freak accident?


His body's doing better than Melo's, he schooled Melo when they met, and he's having a much better season than Melo. Next question?

Yup, you totally confirmed your argument.

Chicago played great both with and without Rose. That pattern seems irrelevant to the specific pattern discussed with Gallo and Melo.

Very Relevant. Clearly teams can play well without their Star.

Clearly, Melo sucked before and is still sucking now (I think he's hurt) but now their winning because Woodson is changing the philosophy and mindset of the TEAM.

Or maybe because the superstar the team traded for stopped sabotaging the games.

That's only in the playoffs. Superstars don't need to do anything in the regular season, just show up for a few games in the First Round and he will be anointed with bath salts.

You can see that the effort is there for him since MDA resigned, but he is not in great shape to sustain this. We won't see superstar level play from Melo until next year and this is assuming he gets himself in Wade/LeDouche/Durant type shape in the off-season.

Can we just pay him half his salary then for this year?

I am going to call Steven A Smith and explain to him that Melo is a "marginal" starter. Really....Really.

Well for a while now he's looked very normal. There's been no SUPER connected with Melo's game. He's being paid like a Superstar, but he's playing like a player with no physical advantage over the average player. Superstars aren't supposed to play like normal humans. When the team is down, Melo is supposed to lift them up and carry them for periods of time. It seems like playing on both ends is sapping his strength. He used to save himself only for the offensive side of the ball. Now he doesn't seem to have the stamina to play well on both ends. Tho to be honest he was struggling just to score all year.

Grow up! If you have a point to make then do so, otherwise your just talking out your ass. Do you have a counter argument or just unfounded accusations? So far all it seems you are equipped to do is make jokes and baseless accusations. What else have you got?
