By pilonv1 Go To PostAlways enjoy watching Melo kill it at the Olympics and the Knicks never using him like thatThe day the NBA has FIBA rules.
Why wasnt that Bogut shoulder to Kyrie's chest called a flagrant? Yall know it wouldve been called that if it was Boogie doing that to Delly. These refs shady.
By pilonv1 Go To PostFIBA rules are stopping the Knicks playing Melo as a four?under woodson he was used as a 4.
I noticed Melo was the alpha to the Servant the entire game. Draymond will still be the big boss on GSW, aint nothing gunna change next season.
By unknown Go To Postunder woodson he was used as a 4.and he had his best seasons
By pilonv1 Go To PostAlways enjoy watching Melo kill it at the Olympics and the Knicks never using him like thatThis breaks it down to a T.
Outside of Billups, 3/4ths of 2010 with Raymond Felton, and a regular season of Kidd he's never had a break-the-defense down guard who can turn Carmelo into a spot-up/catch and shoot guy. He's constantly iso-ing or (in the recent Phil Jackson era) setting up others.
a.k.a - Carmelo needs guard help
By The Frankman Go To PostThis breaks it down to a T.What does it say about yo squad that theyve surrounded Capt. America with scrubs & dumpster fires for so many seasons? I hope DRose works out for yall.
By unknown Go To Postpsy hook me up with a link ; )game's over breh
By theignoramus Go To PostWhat does it say about yo squad that theyve surrounded Capt. America with scrubs & dumpster fires for so many seasons? I hope DRose works out for yall.Oh, we've said management is dumb. Walsh got subverted by Dolan and D'Antoni HATED Carmelo. Woodson just let JR Smith and Carmelo ISO mostly, and Jackson never has looked to get that kind of PG. That's why I pray Rose can stay healthy for 68 games... that's all I ask for.
By The Frankman Go To PostHe's constantly iso-ing or (in the recent Phil Jackson era) setting up others.
This was my point. Sure the rules and talent level make it easier, but you could make it work in the NBA. All comes back to trading away their assets for him and running everything through him in isos
Lowkey, as much as we get on NBA refs, these FIBA dudes are a reminder of how much worse it could be. They have no conception of when to swallow their whistles.

I think it depends on the crew, the biggest issue is the inconsistency. The Croatia/Spain game was pretty good, but this game was atrocious.

By pilonv1 Go To Postreal talk: there will be calls for Jennings to start by mid Decemberthat's gonna need to be shut down quick. The worst thing for Jennings is to have a large offensive role. Somewhat humbled athletically challenged Orlando Jennings at the very least was working hard then, the minute he starts feeling himself I can see him start not giving a fuck again. I know he's on a contract year but I just feel he's got to much of a selfish streak in him.
By diehard Go To PostUS only won by 10 and let the opposing team shoot 50%? lolThe reffing in the game was atrocious and Boogie was done the minute he got on the court. Defense in switches/transition was abysmal.

By giririsss Go To PostYou Skurred.Team USA's defense wasn't ass?
By The Frankman Go To PostTeam USA's defense wasn't ass?it IS ass.
By diehard Go To PostKlay shooting 15% from 3 on that joke of a 3 point line is .. something elseI'm just going to assume klays drunk until the groups end.
Cause. I mean. Why be sober ?
By diehard Go To PostKlay shooting 15% from 3 on that joke of a 3 point line is .. something elseSpacing is different. It impacts the breathing room shooters have. Not all react the same way to these tweaks.
Those kinds of differences seem minor to most (Melo playing well internationally isn't just about him playing the 4), but they change the game a lot.

Wasn't it DMC that said this team was better than the '92 team? Or had more talent or something?

Looks like the NBA schedulers pulled some magic: No NBA team will have more than one four-games-in-five nights sets; the max was four in 2014-15 and two in 2015-16.
Clips @ Lakers for Xmas. Eh.
Was hoping for PhillyVLakers, but I suppose it's good that most players will get to spending Xmas wth their families.
