Oh, I'm sorry, am I supposed to apologize for one of our players NOT being the one overlooked for an award? I'll have to see if I can muster any shame....
Doncic went 35-8-9 Harden went 42-6-8 Melo went 23-8-3 wait! apparently, the NBA week runs from Monday thru Sunday, so Harden only had 2 games
Heard this on the radio.... Thought it was a joke. It isn't... Will Carmelo stay here next year? Not for $2.2..... What will they do?
Put it this way: if you're grading on a curve it makes total sense. He's been out of the NBA for TWO YEARS? He looked washed up the last time he was in it? He hasn't made a positive contribution to a winning team probably since well before Linsanity? In that context his play has been like Harden or Doncic scoring 100. Having said all that: he totally shouldn't've got it. But then again, who gives a shit about Player of the Week anyway?
To put this in perspective, we picked up a player (Carmelo) mid-season for the minimum, and he is now in the starting line up, and was named Western Conference Player of the Week. Deserving of this award or not, damn, that's looking like a pretty good pickup.
