He had 28 points, but most were just open shots. Whenever he went to the hoop he got stripped or lost the ball, overall it was a sloppy game for him that's why no talk. I still think he definetly belongs on the team though, guy can score.

Honestly last night, I was thinking to myself that Melo wasn't doing much. I thought he had like 6 points or something, then it flashes across the screen: Melo 20 points. He had a quiet performance. Really I think it was that Kidd, Bron, Dwight, Kobe, and Durant were so impressive, Melo's game didn't seem that impressive.

Dwight Howard had 6 TO's.

Typical.

I guess TO's for Howard will be in his career like FT's are for Shaq.

The story with Melo was definitely that he was hitting open shots and looking foolish and out of sorts at other times. I was surprised as well when I saw the points he'd scored.

Nobody was guarding Melo lol. Like Weezy said, they were practically free shots. Same with Dwight Howard, Amare just let him easily make all of his nine field goals.

No one is talking about Melo's 28 because he has been the go-to scorer on this team from day 1. Yes they were open shots, but he knocks them down time and again. Redd was building a sidewalk in the first half with all those bricks, but he finally woke up and drained a few. Melo scores inside and out, regardless of who is guarding him. His performance against Greece (I think) last year was astonishing. The guy hit 11 shots in a row, all from distance - and set an international play record with points in a half. Melo has surprised me more than any player on this roster with his incredible play. bow

Lost the ball going to the hoop ? Are you guys blind ? Didn't you see couple of times how he just powered his way into the paint using dropstep and then finished at the rim ? + he hit most of his opportunities ( open shots ). Didn't ball hog. Just stellar performance.... jam2

Melo is actually the second best player on Team USA. He doesn't have the most physical tools but he has the most fumdamentals of any player on that team NOT named Kobe Bryant or Jason Kidd...

melo is pretty athletic .. he's big.. strong and explosive.. the only flaw i see in his game is his defense.. his passing could be better but he's a forward anyway..

I've been wondering over the past few days during these games who it was that was bashing Melo for no reason before the tournament. I kept asking in those gameday threads where is the guy that said Melo sucked before this tournament and no response. So, I did some digging and found out, check out these gems

Actually he is kinda right as Melo does stop ball movement and is not needed. But it is a nice addition as it allows Kobe to spend 100% energy on defense.

I still think Bosh will be more useful than Chandler, and possibly even Stoudemire. Did he get cut, or is he injured?

It's up to Flash and Bron to learn from Melo to consistently hit that 20fter!

I'd prefer him off the bench and replace him with someone who plays defense at tthe 4.
