you literally didnt understand any of that. he didnt have a decent game. he had quite a bad game. he hurt his teams chances of winning and surprise, they lost. you just dont understand basketball on a level higher than "its good when the ball goes in the basket" and you arent willing to learn.

The Blazers would have lost with or without Melo tonight. Secondly this has nothing to do with a lack of understanding of the Sport and what qualifies as good and bad.you literally didnt understand any of that. he didnt have a decent game. he had quite a bad game. he hurt his teams chances of winning and surprise, they lost. you just dont understand basketball on a level higher than "its good when the ball goes in the basket" and you arent willing to learn.
The main point of this whole nonstop pointless argument/debate is Can Melo still play in the NBA? The answer to that question is yes. This is not the Da Vinci code Your taking Melos play and him playing in the league way too literal there are worse players in the league than him.
This has literally been my point forever now. Can he play yes or no thats it thats all this dumbass debate was ever about.
and if that was "quite a bad game" then then most people In the NBA have quite bad games. He did his part their were worse players then him on his team tonight.

Believe it or not, that's what often happens to losing teams. He highlighted his bad game with his shooting, others do it in different ways (some don't attempt to score, some have too many turnovers etc etc..)The Blazers would have lost with or without Melo tonight.

by the way, the numbers i posted only demonstrate that he was a net negative on offense. when you factor in that he is possibly the worst defender in the entire league, it becomes truly ugly.

Nah, I kinda side with him on this. Melo is objectively a bad player by NBA standards. That doesn't mean he doesn't belong in the league. There worse players than him, case in point, the blazers who signed him out of desperation because their options were Hezonja and Tolliver...garbage time players

This was my main point since the beginning. My argument was he could still play in the NBA and I even said at most bench player 15 min. That’s literally all I was saying and people are Making to seem like I am saying he needs to play 30min a night and will drop 35 points.Nah, I kinda side with him on this.

But there's a reason when they went on a run and got close to the Bucks Melo didn't come back in.The Blazers would have lost with or without Melo tonight. Secondly this has nothing to do with a lack of understanding of the Sport and what qualifies as good and bad.

What's wrong with Anthony Tolliver?Nah, I kinda side with him on this. Melo is objectively a bad player by NBA standards. That doesn't mean he doesn't belong in the league.

Correct.
Melo didn’t have a decent game last night. He basically had inflated stats in a game Blazers were always going to lose by a significant margin. He was still super inefficient and inexistent on defense.
Everything. He’s gone at this level, basically as much as Melo is.What's wrong with Anthony Tolliver?

I haven't watched him this year but he was genuinely useful more recently than Anthony was.Everything. He’s gone at this level, basically as much as Melo is.

He was all right last season for Minnesota from what I remember. I was quite happy with this signing. He has been bad though.I haven't watched him this year but he was genuinely useful more recently than Anthony was.

(Small) problem is that everything looks about Melo now too. How is Melo feeling? Can he do better? Did Melo slept well last night? They are bothering pretty much everyone in the Blazers team with the same subject.
Something that the Blazers should have seen coming tbf.
Still, Blazers are at 5-11, by the time they figure what is best to eat and sleep for Melo the playoffs will be gone.

Maybe they brought him on to be tank commander. Shut down Lillard for the year, give Nurkic extra time to recuperate and let Carmelo take 26 shots per game.

Tank commander is a pretty cool name

At least with Tolliver he isn't demanding/expecting 10+ shots a game.

I agree, which is why they needed to make a trade. Signing Melo isn't the answer.The blazers need a player who can take 10+ shots a game right now though
A Whiteside + a first to OKC, Tobias Harris to Portland and CP3 to Philly deal would be interesting. Or Gallinari to Portland for a first.

They'll have Whiteside and Lillard back soon, yday was a bit encouraging from them.(Small) problem is that everything looks about Melo now too. How is Melo feeling? Can he do better? Did Melo slept well last night? They are bothering pretty much everyone in the Blazers team with the same subject.

I think their defense is in a much worse state than their offense atm, but I expect things to get better soon when they get all their injured players back, any word on Nurkic?The blazers need a player who can take 10+ shots a game right now though

Why would you want Whiteside when you have Adams?I agree, which is why they needed to make a trade. Signing Melo isn't the answer.

I want the 1st round pick. Whiteside is an expiring anyway and we're not trying to win. We're collecting assets.Why would you want Whiteside when you have Adams?
Nurkic should be back early next year. Collins around March.I think their defense is in a much worse state than their offense atm, but I expect things to get better soon when they get all their injured players back, any word on Nurkic?
Obviously as already replied they wouldn’t be doing this for Whiteside, doubt that OKC care about the quality of their team for this season - they are looking beyond. Actually to get rid of CP3 and get a first in the process would be an excellent deal. Paul definitely doesn’t seem like right fit next to Simmons though and I would hate it for us to take on that Harris deal so OKC would be the only real winners in that trade.Why would you want Whiteside when you have Adams?
Clippers had a great finish to the game tonight, that consecutive PG and Lou threes were amazing. Was even more glad about it than I’d normally be after Harden got a phantom call at 118-117, he literally held Kawhi’s arm and pretended to be fouled like he often does. Kawhi came up clutch with a shot after that and won the game for Clippers.

Can't seem to insert quotes atm so here goes
Portland's problem is injuries. With Lillard out they needed a scorer, that's why they picked up Melo. It's a non-guaranteed contract until January and once Lillard gets back, if he's still a +/- black hole they will probably cut him
As to the suggested trade, i don't see Philly being interested on Paul. The player i expect OKC to trade is Gallo, who is actually exactly what the Blazers need right now btw, a mostly efficient scorer who can put up 20 a night no matter what. Gallo also offers decent defence at the 3 and 4 positions. Expect a few playoff teams in need of an extra scorer to try for him. Expiring contract too

We picked Melo before Dame got injured (and it’s a very short term injury - he missed two games and should be back tonight). It was a desperate move, we weren’t really struggling with scoring at the time but our defense was, and still remains, awful. It had nothing to do with Lillard being out.Can't seem to insert quotes atm so here goes

Don Luca with his third in a row 30 plus point game, and even then he stepped out the game early.

This is what infuriates me about Harden. I can live with the ISO ball (even if it is as boring as hell), I can even put up with his "drawing" of fouls. However, it is the constant hooking and grabbing pretending to be fouled that makes me dislike him so intensely as a basketball player. The man is a cheat, plain and simple.Clippers had a great finish to the game tonight, that consecutive PG and Lou threes were amazing.

I'll take your word for it that he got it from KD, either way, as you say he has definitely perfected it.He learned it from KD and perfected the art.
