Fantastic job by the role players to come in and bring energy. This was easily won by our bench who brought fresh legs, high BB IQ, aggressive play made sure you had to play a 5 on 5 game.Strong finish for Melo following another lemon of a game. He wants to win and knows he's struggling. Hopefully this loosens things some for him. One other thing on MElo, I would challenge him to facilitate and limit his minutes. The more winded he gets the dumber he plays. When he's bouncy he's still one of the best. A cool 30 mpg. Does anyone have a problem with Kuz taking 18 minutes a game behind Melo? He's still an impact player. He wants to be here. I think you just keep his minutes down to 30 to maximize his impact.
Such a fun show watching KP and KAT. KAT is so much more powerful than KP. KP has the length and height. I would say at this point KAT is the higher impact player despite his team's poor record but who cares. They are both amazing and we are lucky to have one of these guys.
This game showed more to me than if they had held onto the lead. There was real pressure here and we came up really big late on both sides of the ball. That was a very Paul Pierce type of game for Melo. I always felts like when we played those Bos teams he would have crappy games shooting... he's be like 5-17 with 15 points and it felt like we would have him check, then he would get a big steal, a big strip, hit a couple clutch shots and Knicks lose. Am I imagining this? We really just needed a road win. Nice gut check IMO
Easy with the Kuz, fish. I'd like the kid to be able to do something other than hit threes before Melo benches himself. They mentioned a few times when Cheese came in the game that he looked out of his league going to the basket or trying to do anything on a break. I want Kuz to be more than Novakaine II.
I hate any Paul Pierce memories, but no, it's not your imagination. Every time we played against that azzhole, it seemed he'd be towel waving or peeing in Spike's beer at the end of every game. And you notice something different about Melo? He makes the shot, he jams the inbounds and ends the game, and he's not dancing around jerking himself off in front of the crowd. He's just talking to Wiggins. Interesting difference.
PP was a an aptly named d-ck.
That he was. ITs not about Kuz, its about limiting Melo's minutes. I would like a consistent 30 minutes. I think the 8 minutes at his age is a big impact. We dont win without Melo despite what the haters say. He's here regardless. So how do we set Melo up to have the highest impact he can with this team? To me, especially on defense the answer is simple.. keep him fresh. I have no agendas here
Agreed about the lack of agenda, which i've always appreciated. Although your manlove for Chris Dudley still makes me wanna vomit. 
I think we're seeing the start of Melo trying his best to keep himself fresh, and as WallyHomerWorld commmented, still keep himself "locked into the game". 7-10 minutes into the game before our DOUCHE dinosaur iso ball hog attempted a shot. That speaks volumes to me, if not anyone else. I just sure as hell hope to sheehit Melo's not reading our crap on the UK...
If Kuz can show something defensively (at least to the point that they actually mention it during the radio broadcast ) I'll sign on for more Cheese.
martin apparently sees something in Kuz on the break that the shot chart and the radio isn't showing.
