    Obviously it's Carmelo's fault.

    "It's just the Nets/Bulls, we barely won."

    "It's just the Nets/Bulls, how come they won?"

    I swear, Clutchfans needs to be in a Schrodinger state where we both win and lose at the same time. :eek:

    I don’t know why we didnt use Melo in the post in the 4th quarter. Coach needs to freaking keep going a play that has been working but no Just jack up a 3 instead.

    Utah lost again. Nuggets blew them out by 20pts in the 4th Q. Rubio sucks. And book is out on Ingles now.

    Rockets now only 1/2 game behind the Jazz.

    Someone should check on ZDog.

    The law of averages are catching up with us. No way we're going to keep losing. Let's just see how far the league will let us go.

    We have a pretty solid rotation with Gordon back:

    Harden
    Paul
    Gordon
    Tucker
    Capela
    Ennis
    Melo
    Green
    Clark

    MCW was thankfully DNP-CD'd and hopefully will continue to be. Hartenstein and Chriss are iffy. Vince Edwards could be another useful player. Knight could obviously help but who knows when he's returning.

    On bad/some teams it'll work sometimes. I'm not saying he shouldn't do it at all, I'm saying it should be in very low frequency. He's taking bad shots and making them, that's great but that's not going to get us a top offense. He's been great but he needs to hit those open 3s

    I'm fine with Carmelo posting up near the block. He's pretty good from down there and it's an easy way to manufacture a bucket if scoring is getting hard to come by at any point in the game. I'm 100% fine with that shot several times a game.

    What I 100% do NOT like, which Melo likes to do, is take one dribble in from the 3 point line and shoot a long 2. He needs to eliminate that shot completely.

    Much needed win. It's so frustrating to watch Harden be so lackadaisical with the ball and turn it over on three straight possessions toward the end of the game.

    The Bulls fought hard. They have some promising players. A pretty good win for our guys. Our offense is starting to gel.

    AWESOME

    This is one of the rare instances where i cant agree 100% with you...

    didnt watched last night but from the games i have seen so far melo is most efficient in the post ...besides it adds variety to our offense and variety makes other teammates shots more open and harder to stop and thus more efficient

    Somehow they only scored 7 in the 3rd quarter. That was their demise and some credit goes to our Defense.

    Bulls won every other quarter.

    Yes,that is true. My point was our offensive execution is getting better. The team is starting to gel.

    Glad for the win but we need to find better replacements for Moute and Ariza if we want higher than a 7th or 8th seed. Ennis, Frankenstein and WCW are no replacements.
