Jason is our best pure shooter. Guy is automatic from 15 feet
Cole has got those monkey arms. They're so damn long
well the lead is pretty much gone now.

I think that's Melo...He is a good shooter though. Melo stats when he is wide open are Elite. Then add he hits contested shots as well.
Knicks need to have another great third quarter tonight.
Bad End of Quarter..Hornets Look confident. Gonna be a tough Game
Hornets weathered that explosion....it's a ball game now.
Is ridiculous how much Melo hate there is on this forum. He is 4/7 from FG and Amare has taken more shots.
Dalemberts presence was missed during the later part of the second quarter. The Hornets got to the basket and got offensive put backs with Daly on the bench. Those buckets and alleys to the basket were there when Daly was in...

he does tend to go back to old habits but he is doing much better. won't change overnight
I remember Kobe and MJ doing the same time to time...that's when the coach needs to call that timeout and call it out. Looks like Fisher did just that.
our $124mil "leader"
Whatever works i guess
I've given up on the concept of Melo as leader. He's as Pavlovian a player as JR. Basically, the leadership starts with the Coach, who then gets the collective output to influence a player like Melo to play the game right. Melo will go along with the team if the team will is strong and cohesive. But forget about Melo being the one who establishes anything first. He's really either a hero or a follower, but not a leader. Which is fine now if Fish gets his way.

He uses his length very well, pretty much unstoppable from 10 feet out.
I commented earlier he's the best low post scorer
In the game, when fans say silly stuff like
Melo is just as good as Durant because
Melo has a low post game and Durant doesn't, I just laugh
A low post game is defined by Al Jefferson
It probably ends there too
Just a precious artifact in this league
His game is archaic but nevertheless highly effective and creates
The best chances of converting from an efficient standpoint

Nobody was hating on Melo. It was obvious that when the team's flow stopped during the 2nd quarter it coincided with consecutive possessions where Melo pounded the rock and didn't pass back out. He has done fine otherwise, but people are watching the game and see the nuances more clearly when the team goes from crisp ball movement to a stalled offense. Melo is ideal when he participates and scores. He is only OK when he does not. That's not hate. It is what numerous people saw and agreed on.

Anyone can make an negative point about Melo true or not and you will find numerous people on this forum to agree on. Game 3 of the season!!

His career TS% is 53 ... not elite. He needs to get many more FT attempts (3.5 is not gonna cut it).
Compare him to other top bigs and his TS lags.
Still a really good/excellent post player.
Yeah, we’ve tried to help our guys understand that the triangle is not this place that we exist in as soon as we touch the basketball,” Fisher said. “When we play solid defense, get rebounds and get steals, we want to run the floor and take advantage of things that we can early and then we settle into our offensive format after that.
“But there are ways that we get in and out of it that just gives a defense a different look,” Fisher added. “And it obviously gives the broadcasters a different look so I guess it is working well so far.”
