    In my view ball stopped moving because of an early habit of really bad passes leading to turnovers..often from guys not knowing where they need to be or expecting the dish off..passing comes with chemistry and when you turn it over and fall behind, your shooters try to shoot you back into the game....it's a work in progress when Dame scores 60 in a loss

    So if the Melo redemption tour is a success, what are the odds he stays here next season?

    Seeing @PtldPlatypus with GREEN under his name is like when you see that list of players accomplishments and the list has
    Vince Carter
    Gary Payton
    Kobe Bryant
    and Tracy Murray
    ......... @PtldPlatypus is.......Tracy Murray. #BAM

    Tracy Murray was an elite preseason player.

    I am happy we have more of the team USA Melo than the NBA Melo, thus far. Hopefully that continues

    Strong.

    Back on topic, Melo was strong again last night, as was the starting lineup on the whole. I'm considering the possibility that I might need to alter my opinion about Melo.

    Maybe.

    People can all say Melo might be the reason or not. The fact is there are five guys on the court that can torch a team. This game is and has always been about scoring. Yes defense and getting stops are important. But i have seen all too many times the Blazers getting a stop and turning the ball over or missing the shot on the other side. Making a shot helps your defense and even more when it comes from the PF position. It helps Dames defense when he is in position to defend. Same with CJ. We are all good enough at understanding the game to know when the other team misses a shot and then gets torched after three passes and then has to take the ball out under the basket they are much easier to defend.

    When you have 4 guys on the court all able to break down their man it creates open looks for the big guy in the middle. When all 5 players are looking to pass and not worried about who they are passing to it creates "Flow". Look for the lob to start taking place. Every time help defense must react Whiteside will be open at the rim.

    Offense does indeed create better defense!

    Why so? Am i missing something here? Kind of thought it was a good choice? Certainly Kanter could not be the reason? Maybe Duckworth but i'm not sure he would mind a HOF player wanting his number as well.
