    WTF is wrong with Carmelo Anthony?

    O.K., I know some people think Melo is worse than Big Dog. But last season he was a good player, look at the numbers and the impact he had on his team. He scored about 21 points, 43 % FG(not bad), 6 rebounds, 3 assists. The Nuggets were a lot better too.

    But wtf is wrong with him. Every time I see him play, he misses shots he made a year ago. Last year his bread and butter was his silky smooth jump shot. His shot set up his drive, as melo is only slightly above average of the bounce, but it looks like as long as Melo struggles shooting, he lacks the explosiveness to score by going to the basket. What do you think? Can Melo get his stroke back and fulfill his potential? he's only 20 years old, it's amazing when you consider he has a lot of time and youth to make it right, but I don't know, it seems he's not the same player he WAS, maybe he'll never get back his magic.

    Melo just tweaked his ankle, so he is likely going to miss some time..

    This year he isn't looking so hot yet, and it will be interesting to see how he does from here on out..

            Completely off-topic but I just have to say, Earl Boykins is THE MAN! He had 3 points in regulation but in OT, he singe-handedly saved the Nuggets by scoring 15 of their 21 points. Just goes to show how hard-work and determination can get you far. He also schooled Ridnour when he hesitated, dribbled back, then dribbled around him for the 2 and 1.

            Also, I just read on NBA.com that his 15 points in OT is an NBA record. Great job for a guy who's 5-5.

                I think his off court troubles have really gotten to him and really thrown him off his game - that and injuries

                    injuries throws anybodys game off, vc is the perfect example of a player affected by an injury tremendously. hopefully melo doesnt become the next injury proned vc.

                    note: also heard from commentators the sophmore years real tough on players.

                        C'mon. There are a lot of people saying that Melo won't fulfill his potential. I mean, the guy is 20 freaking years old!!!!!!!!!!

                        He will live up to the hype. I think it's not Carmelo, right now the problem is with Denver bad luck. I mean, that team on paper is awesome! But they just can't execute. (I won't use the excuse that they've only been healthy for 5 games this year).
