Melo playing GREAT GREAT defense...if he plays like this then hes truly elite
19 pts for Melo so far on 7-9 shooting with great D.
Sounds like typical selfish Melo.

i dont think anybody is questioning melo's talent because his talent is as good as anyones. His defense has improved too. I think the only concern is that hopefully he can do it consistently and in the playoffs. If he does taht next year then he is a MVP candidate

Melo has a very good supporting cast now and a coach who will play to his strengths. I expect Melo to elevate his game next season in part because he knows that with Lebron winning a ring that the pressure to win a championsip is on him now. At the very least I want him to erase any doubts that he gave his level best. I believe he will do that.
BS foul called on Melo. Had great defense inside had both his hands on the Ball and he is whistled for a foul.Was a Jump ball all the way

very soft foul call, I miss the 90's you were able to play tough and not be called for a foul
If Stat is really working on being a more mobile big, it should help make Felton's job easier. He won't have to spoon feed Amare the ball for pts in the paint. Too often Stat had to be under the rim, undefended, to score. I also think Kidd will help Raymond become a more effective PG.
Fiba officials make you appreciate the NBA officials that much more. These officials are awful. Lots of questionable and inconsistent calls for both teams.
