Melo can shoot if hot...rest of Portland can't light it up enough to keep pace w the MVP

This thread won't age well.
Portland has multiple guys who can light it up, including Carmelo, who everyone told me is washed up.
Lillard is gonna dominate this series against that little argentinean.
Mccollum will do whatever he wants against rivers and morris.
To win this series Jokic needs to average almost 40.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
If Melo averages significant above his 13 ppg then port wins. If not, they lose.Comment -
Melo is playing his former team, he's gonna come to play. He's hungry for a ring.Originally posted by MinnesotaFats
Portland's fate doesn't hinge on just Melo. They run an 8 man rotation and every one of those 8 guys can score. There are really no holes in their rotation. Look what Denver is already doing, trying to get the ball out of Lillard's hands by trapping him. He has 7 assists in the first quarter.
Denver has to work very hard to score. Anyone that knows basketball understands this team literally has no weapons.
Now it is the NBA, so anyone can get hot for a series.
We'll see what happens in a best of 7 I guess.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
18 pts
4/8 3s
50% from field!
Melo the key here to the seriesComment -
Minny do you remember all the people who said I was dumb for saying Melo deserved a spot in a rotation on a high quality team when he was out of the league? Some ppl on this site were saying Anthony Tolliver was a better basketball player. He will remind everyone who he is. A great scorer, even at this age, plain and simple.Originally posted by MinnesotaFats
Blazers roster 1-8 is deep as hell, everyone can score.
Think about this for a second. Derrick Jones was a key role player for the Heat last year in their run to the finals.
Derrick Jones doesn't even sniff the court on this Blazers team.
Think about that for 1 second.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
Melo has done well to get to where he is at now on the team and play his role... when he first came to Portland I just remember team after team attacking him over and over on offense anytime he came in the game and scoring at willOriginally posted by Goat MilkComment -
He’s not getting a ring in Portland. And he had 18 points and 4 of those 3s were wide open. Let’s not get crazy about his skill level at this point.Originally posted by Goat Milk
Also this Denver team is nothing without MurrayComment -
No argumentOriginally posted by Goat Milk
But Melo draws attention on d and in scheming that opens up 2 other shooters at any given time if he's hot...
If he's cold, if Melo goes 1-8 from 3s and 3/12 from field, they lose the game & series.
Just saying...the spotlight us on him here, fun to watch 37 yr old homie still bringing it!Comment -
All I said 2 yrs ago on this site was that Carmelo Anthony is still a legit NBA player. I never said he's still a star. He's like 37 years old... He's currently one of the best bench players in the entire league, if not the best. Point was, Carmelo was conspired against by the league. They were picking up guys out of the damn D league before giving him a chance. Facts are facts.Originally posted by godukeCause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
Lol Portland doesn't need Carmelo Anthony to beat Denver bro. They have the best player on the court and a top 3 player in the world.Originally posted by MinnesotaFatsCause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
Easy now...they'll be dogs every road game and pick em / -1.5 in home games.Originally posted by Goat Milk
This has 7 written all over itComment -
This will be a quick series.Originally posted by MinnesotaFats
That's not how it works. When you are +1 on the road, that means you're gonna be -6 at home. Next game in Denver is gonna close at a PK. Portland in game 3 will be -5 or more.
Best 3 players in the world are 1) Durant 2) Lebron and 3) Lillard. This playoffs will prove that.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
Denver is playing guys from the G league bro. Enough said. They're not beating Portland 4 times with michael porter jr as their second best player and who the hell is their number 3 scorer? Campazzo? A rookie from spain who has been tasked with trying to guard the best point guard in the world?Originally posted by MinnesotaFats
Yeah, let me tell you how that's gonna happen.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
I'm definitely looking at lines gm 2 & fwd here
You love Lillard that much
IDK I'm no savant w NBA but are we talking about a series & gm by gm here that the books are gonna get slaughtered in?Comment -
Denver where coldComment -
LOL. Lame Dolla couldn’t even smell Doncic’s jock strap. If doncic was black your entire race would be lining up to tongue his *** hole.Originally posted by Goat MilkComment -
Yeah but he also wasn’t a team player then and he was out of shape and just jacked shots up. He would have had a team easily if he played and acted the way he does in PortlandOriginally posted by Goat MilkComment -
Melo having great year
1st ballot hall of famerComment -
nuggets will really miss murray this seriesComment -
Goater jerks off to Melo posters every night. Not surprising he is in this thread getting his lotion bottle out. I didn't even know that clown was still in the NBA but should have guessed he played for Portland when Goater posted a miracle championship pick on Portland.Comment -
Series is still about Melo
Had 5 pts gm 2, they lose big
Has 4 pts going into 4th, they're down 3 possessions
He's not getting enough shots because Lillard & CJ are chucking trash shots while contestedComment -
he got plenty of decent looks first half and missed them all ....Originally posted by MinnesotaFatsComment -
8 points, they loseComment -
melo doesnt win in playioffs u know thisOriginally posted by MinnesotaFatsComment -
Yup, super lame. Probably the best pg of this generation after Curry. 1st ballot hall of famer. Statistically most clutch player of the past 50 years.Originally posted by KiDBaZkiTCause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -

Just a stat machine
Makes no one betterComment
