You didn't ask me what kind of league I'm in. Are you serious?

 

He's 12, 10, 1, 1,2 tonight on 1.000 shooting. 

 

19 years old. 

Forgot to mention. +5 right now and everyone else is in the red. Fouls are ok if you're playing agressive defense while everyone else is dogging it on defense.

I hear you when it's just one game. FWIW I think he's been washed for about 3 years or so. You could see it was trending downhill his last year on the Knicks, especially towards the end...and it's just gotten worse since. I think father time caught up to him and he has simply refused to accept it and play within his limitations. Also, the fact that he is atrocious on D, or doesn't even try, sure makes matters worse. Pretty much a negative in all facets of the game at this point.

 

Let's not beat around the bush. He's been buns ever since he got traded from the Nuggets ( ridiculous package that was btw ). Him and AI were alright, but other than that...

We're watching the game live too.

If you are watching this game right now and encouraged by what you're seeing from Melo, your standards are probably just lower than the rest of ours.

He might be in a 40 team league. Enough with the assumptions.

[RedDogNamedClippers 2,366]

That dude was playing devils advocate. He acting like Melo will drop 50 like he is Derrick Rose.

Lol yeah it was. I have never been a fan of his game honestly. I will admit he was once a great scorer and had some really good fantasy years. But, he has never elevated teammates or gave a care in the world on defense. All he ever seemed to care about was scoring and or getting his, no matter what.

Shall we take a guess at his shooting %

 

I'll go with 27%

28.6%

I was so close!

Let it fly Melo 🤣

He's bad

I'm gonna be "Not bad, not good" guy.

Watched most of the game, and yeah ... he did look pretty bad. His jumper looked fine though it wasn't going in, so I'll attribute that to rust.  Had some silly fouls and TOs that I'll also attribute to him just not being on the court for a while. The bigger concern is that his age is showing; his defense was pretty awful and even though he was never a leaper and had no lift on his shot with Houston or OKC, he can't shoot over anyone at all anymore (got blocked a bunch, some on jumpers).  

But for the pros ... That jumper still looks great, and they STILL kept feeding him even though he was in foul trouble and missing shots.  The box scores show that his FG% was awful, yet I think that volume shows trust.  They brought him in to do one thing, which is score, so at least they tried to keep him involved.  Sure, it was his marquee game and Lillard wasn't there, but I'm gonna hold him.  He got 24 minutes in a game where they were supposed to keep him at 20.

He averaged 25 7 and 3 with 1.8 threes in his time with the Knicks, no need to do him dirty like that. I swear people speak about washed ex-superstars like Melo and Dwight as if they were always garbage.

edit: He literally won the scoring title while he was with the Knicks, SMH.

Portland wants him to stuff the stat sheet so they don’t look like idiots for signing him lmao 😂

Hard to keep this guy with Nassir Little on the wire

He's actually a great stat stuffer if you count FG misses, fouls, and TOs.

Who??? The guy 2% owned!!!!

[fantasick 264]

Carmeloggedon has begun! Like his -20, he reversed my gains from day 1... Raising the alert level to Orange.

[grassoli 32]

So is anyone here actually keeping him on their roster? If so, why?

[vnmslsrbms 281]

LOL nothing wrong with a few points, it's like white bread, empty carbs. 

[DezedandConfused 2,983]

FWIW he started the game with 1 shootaround, hasn't played in the NBA in over a year, and Dame was out. Better days ahead for Melo, he cant go out like this lol.

[JJRedtube 50]

Should have gotten foul calls on some of his post touches. I didn’t think he looked absolutely awful!

[Homer S 6]

Watched the game as well, the owners should be pleased with his role (starting, 14 fgs, 24 minutes after a whole year out) rather than his performance.

Unfortunately Little played his best game, we'll see, hold imo in points leagues for now.

[Purple Hippo 1,365]

Portland would be foolish to start an ISO mid range ball hog with pathetic defense and rebounding next to Dame and CJ. Nasir Little is a much better fit in the starting lineup.

He can provide some scoring punch off the bench, but that makes his ceiling Jordan Clarkson. Might as well just pick up Clarkson.

I'm holding for the upside of 13 ppg on 35% shooting 

[blabety 141]

I could've sworn I started everyone at the beginning of the week, but for some reason he was benched when I checked. I was pretty mad till I watched the game. Now I'm thinking it's divine intervention that benched him for me. Thanks God.
