This is clearly physical tonight.


He looks totally disinterested and disengaged....If he is that hurt you sit down. I do believe he's in pain but he appears personally discouraged.

There is a difference between discouraged and disinterested. The latter implies he doesn't care. Melo came back too soon, is obviously hurt is trying to get his teammates involved instead of forcing the issue. Been grabbing boards. Thats not disinterested.

He is a professional chucker, what does he do besides shoot?

He scores off the bench. There were a couple of stretches this season where that's exactly what the team needed.

I don't even understand why you wouldn't insert him in those games where we come out looking flat and uninspired and fall behind 20 pts to Sacramento, Portland, etc.

Also he did just drive and kick to Kmart

You think you don't need role players that score off the bench. GTFO!!! If that's his skill why are you doggin him? We need scorers too! We've got defensive bigs, makes sense to have one that can give us points. But I guess Cope is just a scrub... NOT!

Cope continues to give and F U to woody whenever he comes in as a last resort. His D is not worse than Novaks but yet he is always in the dog house.
3G4G @ 3/12/2013 12:21 AM
WOW Cope passed the ball....finally

I have to agree with 3G on this one. Cope can score but hes got tunnel vision in the worst way

STFU!!! This kid is one of our most efficient scorers and all you can do is bash him. Go look up his numbers and you'll see he's one of the most efficient players on the team and has been all year. Only Woody won't play him except out of desperation.

Its a very weird trend.

Dude has passed out of the post a few times. He's a damn scorer and no one else is doing anything, so why not do what you do best? I don't understand you at all. He's not out there to be an assist man. He's a forward, not a point.

I am so confused right now
