I think Melo is getting too much heat. sure he isnt having a great season but there are many other factors. Lin has really fallen off recently. his turnovers have been very atrocious. You cant blame melo if lin keeps turning it over. also melo is a decent defender much better than he is given credit for. Just give it time i think once MDA is gone Melo will have a better year.

Of course he's not the only reason the team is struggling. The problem is that Melo is further away from expectations than anyone on the team and probably in the entire league. He's not even playing like a top 15 SF.
