    Only four or five games in and he’s the same old Melo, doing what he’s always done and just not willing to run the offense the way coach wants him to.

    You are the king of over reacting though, wouldn’t be surprised to see you talking about how much Harden can learn from him in a few weeks.
    It can look bad... but it was also a reason we were so successful last year. Let’s give Paul more than 5 games (not saying he doesn’t look bad now) , and also the MVP and engineer of our styled offense is not playing.

    I would rather Melo get his shots from the block then iso on the perimeter.. Once he starts to feast there, they will double and everyone else will get points. Rockets can go back to the regular offense when Harden gets back.. this is tough to watch..

    "He's a great fit for our system! He'll buy in with his friend Chris Paul! He's a steal for the minimum!"

    Harden is the only guy that looks like the same player at least.

    The rest of these guys look like they've lost their swagger.

    Hope Harden is out for a couple more weeks. Then maybe people will start to appreciate him more.

    If he was in Anderson’s role like he should be then yes.

    But with Harden and Ennis out he’s now in way too big of a role

    Melo has been a lot better than Gordon has this season...and CP3 has yet to look like his ordinary self.

    I guess what I'm saying...Melo is far from being the reason we are playing this way. Guys we could rely on are not playing up to their expectations.

    I doubt it. Worse shooter than ryno that is less willing to accept being limited.

    Incorrect

    Anderson bought into the system. He knew what he was offensively and defensively, which wasn't much, but he at least tried and at least didn't actively look to shoot bad shots.

    Melo's trying to take Ariza's role, not Anderson's, and it's brutal.
