Obviously he's not Chris Paul - though I have noticed that tactic from Melo in some of their better wins this season. He sits back and facilitates. If KP or Afflalo or Lance is hot (which doesn't happen that often!), Melo will facilitate. If they aren't, he goes into Melo mode. You can see the shift - he still has a ways to go - but it's a start.
absolutely agree. Melo was constantly looking for the hot hand and he realizes that me-buckets are stupid.
Love the way he is playing.

It proved that we need the scorer, we just got offseason to score, to score. Not to pass like you fat guys that sit on a couch want everyone to play like. Because that was probably your best attribute as a player 40 years ago. Did you wear a head band and tight ahorts? Wait bad thought, i dont want to know. Let me guess, you hate the way Curry and Klay T play?

Too presumptuous? Sorry, way off. You probably never played organized ball. Just read about it a lot. And no, bench riding in Catholic High School in the 60's would not qualify for organized ball.

No, I get where you are coming from. Melo has continued to do a good job passing despite mix results from his teammates being able to capitalize on his passes. I like that he is taking advantage of the entire court too and he has really started to pass quickly out of the post.
I think he could have had well over double digit assists tonight which is a good sign. I would like to see his ast attempts over 12 each game.

we were tanking last season, so there's no telling how bad we actually were

we could have won 30 games last season if melo was healthy and playing like this melo. At least 25.
