Well if we actually played any defense it would come down a bit.

It's all those points in the paint. Teague is having a layup drill tonight.

He usualy tends to go how Melo goes...and it's similar with Chandler, except it has less to do with bad shooting and more with the attitude (technicals, etc.) or really good intensity and focus.

I would say it's a 100% he takes a lot of bad shots but lately he has been missing some good open looks.

Well he doesn't seem to have that funk he had last year - where he just looked completely out of sorts. And he is at least trying on deense. He will never be a good defender, even average is an accomplishment for him.

Melo is on a n absolute tear right now keeping us in it and you feel the need get on your soap-box and spew your agenda-based nonsense about how much you hate Melo? In this game thread during this game? We heard you the first time you started posting about how much you hate Melo. Why keep repeating the obvious? What else you got?

Hate melo? How easy for you to say. The dude does not play well on the uphill side of the court when things are going well for him personally on the downhill side. He is an undedicated defender and that I cannot abide.

very good point. its easy to shoot for a good percentage when the defense doesnt pressure you

The sad thing is the Hawks are probably the most offensively challenged team in the league.
