    One thing this team has done consistently under Stotts is to never give up. I do think some of that is due to Dame and his leadership, but I think Stotts deserves the credit too.

    If Melo is ON, it’s hard to stop him. Siakam missed last night and tonight game winning shot.

    undermanned? who were they missing?

    these games happen over the course of a season. lakers needed a game winner to beat memphis. Phoenix got trounced by 30 by Washington missing half its team

    Carmelo was great. CJ too, again. You’d think Carmelo was responsible for every loss, but he has had some great games.

    Terrible first quarter but we fought hard the next 3 quarters. Cant believe we pulled that out. Very big shots by Melo down the stretch....say what you will but the guy is still pretty clutch in the big moments. Great gutsy win!

    Melo can be a decent player when he shoots like tonight and makes a few passes like he did tonight. I think he is physically able of playing decent defense also but makes mental mistakes, trying to do too much or rotating wrong or making bad choices.
    BTW, watching Giles more closely on D tonight, he seems to have slow processing speed.

    Melo ended up a +2 tonight. Man some guys come in here and do nothing but shit on Melo and Terry. Then disappear when the Blazers win.

    He can only play defense under 5 minutes left in the game.

    Undermanned compared to us. We easily have way more talent. Wish we didn't struggle against teams like that. Will take the win, but it certainly wasn't a good game.

    Roco, DJJ, and Trent were far from fantastic tonight, but are nearly immune from criticism.
