shump needs to realized his limitations (the long jumper), if he dose this, dare I say, he can be a poor man’s Rajon Rondo.

Dare u not

ruruland: Save the snark. You clearly aren’t contextualizing the situation. Melo is not a point guard who is going to spend the game ensuring everyone is in proper rythym. he’s playing on a team without a competent pg, who is severly struggling to make open shots and make proper decisions.

If this team is going to win games in the interim, Melo is going to have to be a hero.

Who said he has to be a PG? There’s a big spread between playing PG and not forcing shots when they stop dropping. That’s all anyone here is asking (that and get back on D).

Guess what – Melo “being the hero” hasn’t worked most of this season and statistically, he’s having the best year of his life. Maybe trying something else would be better?

Robert Silverman (@BobSaietta): Yeah, but I think the point everyone is making is that “Melo trying to win basketball games” can be bad for the team. He was taking bad shots. When they went in, swell, but when they stop falling or he isn’t getting the calls, it’s a big, big problem. The rest of the team gets stagnant/out of rhythm. And he’s gotta stop kvetching at the refs while the opposing team is racing down court. If you’d like a less statistically inclined/analytical blog, I can certainly direct you there.

ruruland: guys need to start making shots… Melo is playing to win basketball games.

ess-dog: It is hard to watch because he actually MAKES so many shots while driving into three guys… you start to believe those are good shots for him to take. If he can just drive and dish a little more, he would be a really great player.

BigBlueAL: Correction on my comment earlier, according to ESPN Melo had 7 FGA blocked.

He had a horrible whistle 2night. easily a 45 pt game on 5-6 less shots if he has a decent whistle…. but he was mediocre lmao
