Credit when it's due: Melo is playing excellent basketball atm

[TrueBlue89]

His game has evolved from scorer only to a legitimate all round player and leader. :applause:

He's been killing it defensively all season and his passing has been on point lately. Just needs to improve his efficiency now. :rockon:

[BigNBAfan]

He is finally playing well enough to justify that massive contract

[TripleA]

Loss to Spurs by 1, in San Antonio where Spurs are 22-0

[BuffaloBill]

Credit to the entire front court actually. Melo, Porzingis, and Rolo have all stepped it up lately

...and it only took practically his whole career...how impressive. :rolleyes:

[bluechox2]

...and it only took practically his whole career...how impressive. :rolleyes:

all he needed to be was a scorer ...he has taken up a leadership role this year

[Smoke117]

all he wanted to be was a scorer ...he has taken up a leadership role this year

Fixed.

...and that's exactly the reason why he was never close to as good as Lebron and Wade.

[Teanett]

:D

[imdaman99]

Keep it up Melo, you're making a believer outa me :applause:

[Marv_Albert]

Classic Melo, has a good spurt against some shit teams for a bit then goes back to old melo when it really counts

[oarabbus]

Holy shit, so many haters. Melo has been dishing out assists like we've never seen him do recently. Even lets his teammates take big shots. And his defense is better.

What's not to like :confusedshrug:

[Teanett]

i would consider him for Most Improved Player.
not by numbers but by increased impact and how he is willing to
reinvent himself.

:applause:

Fish prolly told him "Kobe never changed. see how low he sunk."

Stepped up ? More like underachieving.

They should have been a Top 3-4 seed all season with all the talent they have in that front court.

To be fair, Fisher was god awful, up until that Charlie Rosen(Phil Jackson mouthpiece) article came out criticizing him. Phil sprinkling his zen magic on Fisher has really changed the direction of the team.

Charlie is still writing ?

Can you can link the article, I've always liked his work even if it biased. He has great insight to Phil either from the past or present.

It was an interview in the New York Post. Basically called out Fisher for sucking.

Since then, Fisher has been a totally different coach. Rotations are shorter, lineups are staggered, time outs being called at the right time, etc. He's made sure that 1 of KP, Melo, or AA is always on the floor. No more Sasha Vujachit either.
