Re: The ISH double standard with Melo & Cp3
The difference:
CP3 had an oppurtunity to join a contender(or we thought so) in the Clippers...and he seized that oppurtunity with both hands.
Melo had an oppurtunity to join two contenders( Rockets & Bulls)....but he's happy being LaLa's b***h...and decided to stay.
And in terms of playing style...come on,CP3 is elite...multiple times assists leader, steals champion, career double-double...
What has Melo done?...one scoring title?...and that was only when KD was sitting out 4th quarters and statpadding for a 50/40/90 shooting.

Re: The ISH double standard with Melo & Cp3
CP gets hated on all the time on this site. You can't even have a discussion in any form about CP without people bringing up his playoff record. You just ignore the hate he gets and focus on the small amount of praise people give him because you're a hater.
He has no supporters on here, the people you see arguing for him are mostly just logical basketball fans.

Knicks all da way
Re: The ISH double standard with Melo & Cp3
People just hate NYC and the Knicks in general. Melo didn't ring chase and apparently that means he doesn't want to win

Re: The ISH double standard with Melo & Cp3
It might have something to do with Melo's horrid play in the playoffs. Ever think of that?
Melo drops to a 51% TS scorer in the playoffs. He's a net negative defender and a black hole offensively that doesn't make players better around him.
Chris Paul is just a better player. And I do think Paul gets a bit over-rated here at times...
But acting like it's a double standard to take Paul? Just no. Paul plays better in the playoffs, is a far better defensive player, and actually can help his teammates play better.

This. OP is one of the biggest CP3 roasters on here...
And like it was already mentioned, Paul is a better player than Melo and he has higher standards because of it, along with playing in a tougher conference his whole career.

Re: The ISH double standard with Melo & Cp3
Carmelo is a better player than Paul. Has been their entire careers.

Re: The ISH double standard with Melo & Cp3
What? Paul is regularly attacked for his lack of postseason success, failure to advance to the CFs, choking, etc.
Paul > Melo though.

Re: The ISH double standard with Melo & Cp3
my criticism with CP3, is probably him lacking the game in playing the SG up to this point.
which on this subject, just wanted to note that for all the criticism Harden gets for being the best SG in an era that is weak on SG. Him, unlike Kobe who can play the 3, and being more similar to Wade, doesn't get run over by the elite PG. which also explains why Fisher/Kobe + Elite big man works, because of the ability to insert athletic 2 with Fisher and elite Big to still be somewhat productive for stretches.
and that of Melo, would be him not being the wise veteran on taking the offensive plays off and be a defensive stopper to wear his opponent down, not just physically, but mentally as well. because he gives it all every play on the offensive end it seems.
this could get into the whole players losing weight or not as they age, but to me, if a player can play that many minute a game, he just needs to be more disciplined. because of the salary they command. After all, even while bigs are rare to come by, and teams CAN go the offensive/defensive substitution plays. You can be mentally tough in your will to perform, or mentally tough by your ill desire to conquer.
