    I think Melo's role should be going 6 for 7 every half! Is that too much to ask?

    Melo has tonight and we are lucky because this game could be ugly. But there nothing run on offense but iso with unit. Again long term it just not sustainable especially when your not playing defense.

    I would agree with Stotts on that. Also poor shooting (misses) is not indicative of a poor performance. Poor choice of shots is.

    Now Melo has an excuse to shoot whatever shot he wants.

    I don't get the feeling he thinks he needs an excuse to shoot whatever shot he wants.

    Denver is running a double at Melo at 15ft lol.

    Melo still shot it. Luckily Kanter ate it up.

    Melo is bending the Denver defense, allowing us to get open looks and boards

    If it's done right you just sit him when he goes cold.

    Is no one teaching Ant how to play defense? He just tries to barrel over every screen.
