Melo is a joy to watch go to work...

you are like moses leading the great unwashed out of the wilderness? the messianic drive is strong in you.

if it must be, so it will be. the one main problem i have with this board, the one thing I really want to change, is the smileys. I can't stand them. so out of date. the reaction faces are hilarious though. we should make more/update those.

bout 15 minutes?

I've participated in a bunch of message boards in my time, and I feel like for this one, given the context of my joining (apr '13, which a lot of people feel is just trolls and alts) and what I feel is the state of the board right now, i've kind of taken it upon myself to try to contribute to discussions around here, if not start them.

yeah, that might mean posting paragraphs of shit that someone will just say "tl;dr" but imo thats a good thing - separating NBA fans, people who are on this board to engage in discussion about the NBA, from trolls and inadvertent trolls who are actually just uninformed and ig'nant.

elementally morale, I'm not sure what you mean?

The worst trolls on these boards that i have seen in 2 months here are the old members like ripthekik, I.R.Beast, SilkkTheShocker,wilds09, coin24,that sacjb guy who claims to be a warrior fan. No old member can call new members bad as pretty much all the worst posters on this forum are old members.

Excuse me, good Sir: What is the message you're trying to convey here?

"LeBron can't guard Melo"

"LeBron can't guard Melo"

melo doesn't need lebron guarding him to shoot bad percentages. he can be a very streaky player. that information tells us nothing .

[Pointguard]

If LeBron doesn't spend a single second of a Knicks-Heat playoff series guarding Melo, and the Heat win, there will be nothing to be said about LeBron being "scared" to guard him or any such bullshit except that there are butthurt Knicks fans. If Melo jacks up 40 shots a game, and the Knicks win, there is no merit to the argument that another player is better because he could score just as many points more efficiently. Anyone who says there is can go fist themself.

Yeah, Mello does what he is supposed to do. He may not be the most efficient, but he's totally effective in Mike Woodson's scheme of things. He is deadly from every part of the floor and keeps the pressure on so that the shooters and penetrators can do their thing. Then little Mello, or Mello JR, comes in and does the same. They both have great moves and use their combination of strength, athleticism, creativity, agility and moves as good as anybody in the league to do their job. And they are as entertaining as any two players to watch on that end of the court.

This, plus everybody knows Lebron gets away with pushing and shoving, for which Battier or any other player would easily get called.

[[GR]]

Lebron's worst shooting series last season, came against the Knicks. Melo can guard Lebron, if the refs let him.

[d.bball.guy]

BRB, practicing this move

[Hoopz2332]

He kinda did last year in the 1st round,

No he didn't. lebron had ass locked up. melo was scoring on battier

[Hoopz2332]

"LeBron can't guard Melo"

That ether

[bluechox2]

Lebron man defense gets a huge assist from the refs to get away with a lot of things others get called foul
