Rivers would make us an instant contender! ....For a high draft pick! But seriously, having a bad game although he has been playing well.

Not going to say that. But if it was the other way around all the haters would be chiming in how Melo hurts the defense? Now keep in mind we gane up 76 points in the first half and 3.5 minutes of third. 12 points fellas.
Melo's best position is absolutely the 4.
I'm not really sure what KP's is... some matchups it's the 5, some it's 4.
There are enough minutes for Melo to play 30+ at the 4 and KP to play the other 18 there and 18 at center.
But, yeah, KP could not stop Blake and Melo did a good job on him.
KP getting called for some cheap fouls.

Where has this competitive Melo been?
Seriously - do you not remember he was playing this way when Phil started needling him? He also injured his shoulder around then.
He was not
Last season there was a stretch under Fish he played this way
We all celebrated
Thought Melo got it finally
Then he regressed
I feel he saw Rose n Jennings and thought ok I can focus on scoring
Melo is proving That he can play the way the team needs him too and still get his points. It just takes a lot more effort to do it all.
Once again. Kuz and Holiday need to stop chucking threes. They are too athletic to settle all the time.

That's why I don't trust it. If he keeps this up then great but does anyone believe he will?
Knicks should have been pulling away but instead let Clips stay close is why they will lose the game.

Melo looks great when his mates knock down their shots...
If Melo has a bad game its Melo's fault, not the Psychologist. If he has a good game its the psychology of Phil. Smfh
That possession was beautiful
Ball just kept moving had so many good looks
If Holiday catches that pass easy open 3

They have no idea how to referee him. No one like him in the league

Sticking it? This is how he should be playing every DAMN game!
Exactly!!! As he completes a wild 4 PT play.
People don't know Phil
I used to follow the Bulls.
He has a huge understanding of human psychology
His mind games are with full intention to get best possible result
But I don't buy this Melo shows up rest of the season
If he does and Rose passes like this we make the playoffs
Exactly Phil used to do this to Jordan and pippen all the time ... melo came back and said he's staying no matter what, and is playing a complete game ... we need melo to play like this every game
Shaq touched on this. He said the difference is that Phil was in the locker room everyday, not absent in oblivion.
Rose is playing harder tonight as well.

that's not always true.
He gets the blame when they don't...
No he gets the blame when he's not looking to help make his teammates better!!! MELO IS NOT A F'N VICTIM HERE!!!
Last game..Melo was 8-14 in the first half and his mates were 9-33..You blamed Melo and Rose...Rose was out for 4 games yet you still blamed both guys...And Rose only took 8 shots all game...

He picks up a lot of dumb fouls but his last one IMO was ticky-tack.
