I know that he was capable of this if he was just willing to pass especially out of the double team. I have never ever seen him play like this.
The dude is very capable, but he must be surrounded with play/shot makers to showcase his true abilities. The Carmelo we saw tonight was never asked to run the point in the past which was a mistake if you ask me
Thats what MDA wanted
To run the point???
Where were you that you don't know MDA wanted MELO to play PF? Back then MELO pouted and didn't want to do it. IMO MELO wasn't fully healthy and was slumping but refused to accept having the ball in his hands and leading his team.
Let the past eight the past. I am enjoying this year's Carmelo. Thank God for Phil's mentorship
MDA had a big communication problem, he's not the type of coach that will cuddle players, it's either you do it or you don't, i don't have to explain myself, this will work as long as you play the way I say.
Phil (along with melo maturing more) has a much better approach towards gunslingers(volume shooters) like Kobe, MJ, and Melo.
If MDA was coaching this team with Fisher as his top assistant, we would be the team to beat in the NBA
