    Melo as the catch and shoot guy is good. Do that.

    Melos best asset is as a spot up shooter.

    Despite giving up 6 FTs in the last 2 minutes, we're lucky to be up double digits.

    This is all Melo should be doing. Catch and shoots all day.

    That's his best usage; most efficient and doesn't mess up the offensive flow.

    Jesus Stotts don’t be so freakin conservative. Play Giles. Free Harry. Whatever you want us to call it. Just put him in for God sake. He doesn’t have cooties.

    Saying this for years
    I don't know what Stotts is thinking leaving Jones in there with 3 fouls. Then again, I don't know what Jones was thinking with 2 fouls doing what he did to get 3 and 4.

    Ant really needs to have confidence in his handle to take 2 or 3 penetrating dribbles, if only to get the defense to rotate and maybe open up someone else. He gets the ball on the wing and he's either shooting it or holding it for 4 seconds and passing it back around the perimeter.
