    No one wants Melo to isolate. Not even CP3 and Harden. The more Melo isolations we get, the less Harden/CP3 isolations there will be, and if there were to be an iso play, I'd rather have those two iso than Melo.

    Plus, in the video, Melo can't really get by many people, which is the whole crux of isolation. You either have to get by people or your shot has to be essentially unblockable (Dirk).
     
    Zboy and HP3 like this.

    Melo will be put in winning situations where he will be in rhythm and open. The others team only can play 5 players at a time. IF Harden takes 2, CP3 takes 1, Capela takes 1, and Tucker takes 1. I like our chances already,but now who is covering Melo? Did you know we have 2 HOF point guards to keep the ball moving, too? Melo will see shots like he never has before.
