    Dude's been terrible for years.

    We don't need to wait ANY games to know he's a bad player.

    Absolutely. He's been no good, but he's been decent MUCH more recently than Anthony has been and he's got a chance to bounce back. Anthony does not.

    I went to that game. Joel P was playing for Atlanta and I think Stotts was coach.

    Blazers gave Anthony a chance to bounce back so there for he does. Given the non-guarantee contract it's a small risk, high reward situation.

    I keep watching Carmelo videos, and not understanding what he's saying. It's not from Shaq-like slurring. It's his use of big phrases to say nothing.

    Question: Were you surprised to start in your first game?

    https://www.nbcsports.com/vplayer/p...-pau-gasol-era-portland-ended-it-even-started

    He says that he came here because everything was "established from the gate." Which doesn't answer the question.

    He says, "Don't surprise me." Which implies that he doesn't required starting, as long as the GM tells him that he may not start, before signing him. If left unstated, he requires starting.

    I have to guess at what he means in every video because of his fancy phraseology, defensively dancing around each question without touching it. Is this the famous Melo defense?

    I always suspected that you privately speak in claptrap clichés like "Let me be transparent." You're secretly the intellectual of the board. I KNEW it!

    It’s a high-reward situation for Anthony that’s for sure. He’s a volume scorer whom nobody expects to do anything else.
    I didn’t see the reward for the Trail Blazers in the last game, which was a winnable matchup.
    When is the reward to be expected?

    Wow, tough crowd. First game in over a year, not one practice with the team, Dame is out and that's it he can't possibly do anything?

    They should stay that way. Say what you mean and mean what you say! Wipe that smile off your face, Private! Align your zipper with your shirt buttons!

    Blazers perfect since Melo joined the team.

    Now that is some amazing fiber.
