Watch his jogs back on D. Why bother? Just hang at the basket


Watch how Lebron opens up the floor and creates shots for other players.
That's what a great player does. Or if they don't have that skill, they sit back and play within their role.

Melo completely abandoned Dad Melo this year. Beats me why. Maybe he just likes playing this way. But one thing's for sure, there is no good team in the league with Melo as their best player taking so many isolations. Melo can be on a good team as their 2nd best player.

I really don't see why he has completely abandoned playing for the pass. Anyway. If this is who he is period, which is likely the case, I would like to see him dealt.

YUP, watching his ugly sh!t has taken the fun out of basketball for me.

He's also 28, younger than Melo.
Rose doesn't pass much either. However at least with Rose you could build a system where you could rely on his ball penetrtation ability to create open looks for others. The way Melo plays it's very hard to build a team that can play off him. It's a slow bogged down offense with no flow. When Melo is on, they score well enough. When he isn't, it's pretty bad. Overall little team work and it leads to poor comminication and team chemistry.

With Melo/ O'QUINN in the game no KP is invisible. No one will pad him the ball

WE were getting embarrassed then Jennings started punking Felder at the point and we cut it under 20.

Melo with -22 on the +/-, 5 of 17
Takes everyone else out of the game
