He doesn't..he starts his dribble already before lifting pivot...it's the quickest of those moves I've ever seen. really unstoppable.

Damn were getting killed on the glass.

It's a bit artificial when you have STAT and Lin out considering how many shots they take as well. Early on in the season Melo had every opportunity to take shots and touch the ball, he just wasn't in shape and then got injured. It's not like MDA wouldn't want him to score a lot if he was hitting, but he wasn't, even when he was taking a lot of shots. Now he's on his game and relatively healthy.

I do have to take injuries into account. But too many games link took the most shots. The best player should take the most shots most of the time. And Melo is our best player. Antonio wanted all of the shots to come from his system. I have to play to ur strengths.

He looks quicker and more balanced. He must have his legs back near 100% cuz he's like a another person right now compared to how he was playing. He looks like last year's Melo right now.

Starting your dribble means nothing. The dribble has to happen before foot is picked up.

What I mean is the ball is out his hand before he lifts that pivot..it's not a walk.

Dribbling is when the ball hits the floor. What you discribed is a walk.
