<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Carmelo Anthony recorded his first career triple-double as he tallied 31 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, but Denver came up short in a 113-108 home loss to Phoenix.

So he goes out to get a triple double. Very impressive.How long will AI and Camby be out?

Very impressive.How long will AI and Camby be out?</div>THey were both game time decisions last night, so soon, most likely next game.I am really happy at how we played, 'Melo and Nene both stepped up, just couldn't pull away with it in the end. It would have been a different story with Camby and AI.
AI should be back soon. An ankle injury has never kept him out three straight games, so he should be back in their next game. He also had the flu I believe, but still it is uncharacteristic for AI to miss three straight games.

But then again I might be wrong also. lolAI should be back Wednesday. Camby how ever will probably be out Wednesday.
Well it was good for Carmelo to get his first career td but win you lose it always downgrades it since you know you lost the game even though you had a very good one individually.
I am really happy for the guy that he got this, but it must have been dissapointing that his team lost. I didnt get to watch much of the game, so I am kinda dissapointed, but im really happy for him. Now he just needs to get them more often like Wade and Lebron do! ha
I think it?s great that Melo was able to get his first career triple double. It's a shame that his team lost though. But it just goes to show that Melo is a lot better than most people think. Since the beginning, it has been all about Lebron and Wade and Melo was being underrated but now by the way he's been playing (in the FIBA World Championships and now), he's becoming one of the best players in the league today. Getting that triple double is just one of the many accomplishments that he'll accomplish this season. :happy0144:

I don't get it.Why does everyone think Melo has an all around game?He is mostly a pure scorer which is what puts him behind Wade and Lebron who actually rebound and dish the ball. Melo simply scores and maybe pulls down 5 rebounds because he's tall. Lebron and Wade are also much better defenders than Melo.I'm a big fan of Melo but it's not hard to see why he's put behind Lebron and Wade.

He is better on D then Lebron. He can also rebound, and is underrated at passing. But I am not saying he is better passer then Lebron/Wade just that he is a underrated passer. But Melo is better on D then Lebron.Most still underrate Melo by a lot he is not far of from Lebron/Wade. Not saying he is better, but he can do everything he is pretty close to those guys.

Lebron isn't the greatest defender in the world either but he's better than Melo and he tries.I hope Melo proves me wrong some day and becomes a very good defender but right now that's the main knock on his game. And Melo only gets rebounds because he's tall and athletic. Most players with his physical ability would be getting 8-9 rebounds per game.

If you have seen 'Melo play in the last 2 years you would know he doesn't just score and rebound. He is a underrated passer. Watch a Nuggets game and you would notice he is very unselfish with the ball.

He has pretty solid court vision from what I've seen. Also I'm sure you do watch tons of Nuggets games

Give me a break dude no way you have watched "plenty of Nuggets games" he is an underrated passer, his court vision is really good.
I agree with (Camby23Land) that dude is a joke if he thinks Melol can't pass, or play D.I am not saying he is a great D guy, but he is better then Lebron on D.
