    I'm consistent no matter how good or bad he is: I don't give a shit about his legacy and I'd rather see just about any other Blazer get his minutes.

    by the way, Melo is 3rd on the team in FGA and usage, but 9th on the team in BoxPM and 11th in winshares/48.

    Yeah but he's done that on like 16 shots and no turnovers. Oh that's not shitty either is it?

    So far, in this game, that's exactly what's happening.

    So disappointed that Terry is making Nas follow Noah's (career) arc. Play well one game, given only spot minutes the next.

    but he was -10 in 4 minutes! The benching was justified.

    ugh

    We only got 16 boards to their 25 first half...that's what's killing us....Melo got 7pts and 2 rebounds in 10 minutes..0 turnovers.....he's not our big issue tonight...to stop Zion we let Ball shoot 3s....he made us pay

    Yeah but the good news is he's only making three of them per game so we can expect him to somehow make negative 1 in the second half. I'm pretty sure that's how things work.

    Hopefully. Don't like being down double digits. This iteration of the Blazers aren't great at getting out of holes like they used to be.
