We'll go back to slow it down ball once the next dominant inside force enters the league. That, the mid-range shot always looks good when it goes in. What mad Melo a threat in the past and guys like Kawhi and PG a threat now is the time to gravity they created all over the court. Even if Leonard is "off", defenses still have to pay attention. The Melo criticism the past few years stemmed from the fact that teams didn't consider him a threat and wanted him to shoot. Unfortunately, Melo took the bait and put up some trash numbers. Portland is a good fit because CJ and Dame create more than enough space in the mid-range area for Melo to get in a rhythm. Melo also looks a lot more active physically. I guess the rest did him good...Hope he can keep it up. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

I wish we’d ended up with the 3rd, 4th or 5th pick in that 2018 draft- Could have ended up with Doncic, Jackson jr or Trae Young.
Wish we’d picked SGA Instead of Knox. |

NO MATTER what Melo turns out to be the rest of the year, he has proved all the haters wrong. He was said to be unable to play let alone contribute at the NBA level. The way he played, regardless of the competition, proves it was wrong. Can he keep it up? Age says no. But so far, he looks like a better FA value (possible $2M) than many of the other older vets that were available. Including some of the ones we picked up for a lot more.

Maybe Melo can tell us what he did different compared to last year or the year before. POrtand is a better team than ours. This should work. |
