It was only a 92 that he wanted.

Last year they left off some guys that don't even play as well, if they play they will make it to the roster trust me.

I was also hoping for maybe a teague update or jeff green but you cant have everything you want.

A consistency to a 95. his offensive rebounding to a 80. his offensive awareness to a 98. his hustle to a 77. his on ball defense was increased as well.

That looks like a good update to me. His three was too high, but his post game wasn't up to par before. You already know I would have given him a better hustle rating for his dives into the crowd this season. I think the 95 consistency kind of mimics microwave.

Celtics in the second half of game 1 had only 25 points, and only 8 in the 4th quarter. Melo was in there, he didn't look like a defensive liability to me.

thats because the celtics were flat in the entire half, and K-mart and kidd were great on defense.

melo is one dimensional. he is a flat out pure scorer, with avg rebounding and passing, and below to maybe avg defense...or, he just doesnt want to defend

Melo is a Top 3 scorer in this league, no one disputes that. His passing is below average and rebounding wise he's comparable to Deng/Pierce/Kidd-Gilchrist, which means pretty good, but no great. He's pretty much Bernard King/Adrian Dantley with range and an undersized PF body.
I don't overrate Melo, but absolutely love the fact that his game is all about skill, so he'll probably be a good player even into his late 30s. He's one of the few players after the Kobe/KG/Duncan/Dirk era that have that kind of old school finesse game going. Great to watch...

But a some point, being a "fan" stops people from even trying to be objective. It's ever worse over here in Europe with soccer...many people really project the success of some pro athlete onto their own persona, so when defending their favorite superstar, they're actually defending themselves. The whole idea of people being insulted and emotionally invested if other people criticise some athlete they've never even met is idiotic if you think about it.

btw, J.R.Smith going 7/19 is exactly what's wrong with the Knicks. A low IQ volume scorer as your second option won't work in a playoff series. Melo will probably need to average 35 just to compensate for Smith jacking up shots. Looks like Anthony is in the Dirk/Terry situation right now where he has to play out of his mind every game hoping that his sidekick doesn't suck in the playoffs for once...

I checked all the hot zones last night, and I can honestly say that bandwagon teams just got cheesier. People are going to need cheat codes to slow down their offense.

yeah, its clear most people here just want their team to be all 99's or star slurp. but that's fine i've done it before

i think JR's complainng about not getting FT's every possesion is what the real problem was, knicks just got lucky bostons bench didn't show up
now about melo getting an 80 OREB, what a complete joke. averigin under 2 Oreb and you get an 80? that means some guys should have a rating of about 300....
