Dude, he's been chill for months now and people can't keep him out of their posts. I sense a bit of jealousy that a poster other than you is getting attention.

Jealousy from who? Me? Who am I jealous of and why?

Having a big come over a couple feet on the occasions where he beats his man

You are not watching bro. He is drawing help coverage. Yes that is doubling. When he draws the second man he has passed to an open man many times. Aldridge did this also. Melo is passing out of a double team. if they leave him one on one he drives or creates distance and shoots the jumper. This is classic Mid range PF shooting and distribution. He's been doing it for years.

They didn't need to call your boy here, but are you honestly wondering why he is constantly being called out?

At least he admitted I shouldnt have gotten called out here. Thing is, most of the other times its happened, its been just like this, so the rest of that post is contradictory.

Carmelo got doubled on 1/8 of his scoring possessions last night. He’s getting 1.8 assists per game... I’m happy to have Melo, but he is nothing compared to what Kanter did for us.

Now, do you have video on his possessions in which he got a touch but didn't take a shot? Because those would be the ones that are actually germane to this discussion.

Go ahead and pull up the Chicago game and the Clippers game. It's happening. Like i said. You are not watching what teams are doing. Also your highlight film isn't showing the 6 other possessions where he passed out of it. Seriously are you gonna post a video of him scoring on two fast breaks and two transition baskets and two other scores off rebounding as your argument? It's like you didn't even watch the video? Go watch a game instead of posting on the game thread arguing with people.

Why are you comparing Melo to Kanter? Am I missing something here?

His whole point was that the Blazers screwed up by not keeping Kanter this summer because we don't have anyone who can score reliably (and therefore draw a double-team) in the post. Respondents indicated that Melo is providing similar impact in his new role as the starting PF.

And here we are.

now you’re just being obtuse. This is a highlight video, it would include any assists he has (he didn’t have any).

None of anything you say is backed by evidence, just feelz

I picked a random sample: highlights of his last game. He didn’t have a single assist and he drew one double on the possessions in which he scored. It isn’t perfect evidence, but it’s evidence that contradicts your argument. Teams are not doubling him. (If they are and he’s not even getting a single assist out of it, that’s even sadder).

A similar video with Kanter would show that half of his possessions drew doubles and he would also be getting assists.
 
I liked Kanter here.....but isn't he shitting the bed in Boston?

You do know what a hockey assist is, right?
You do realize that your teammate has to make the bucket for you to get an assist, right?

Like i said. You are not watching the games then. He draws a second defender. If that isn't doubling then i don't know what to tell you?

I realize you’re making excuses bc you can’t back up anything you’re asserting with actual evidence.

please show me all these double teams that he drew against the Kings. So far none of you can find a single video of this happening once.

Just posted a random video of highlights from his last game and this virtually never happened (it happened on 1/8 scoring drives and he didn’t get a SINGLE assist). You are just making things up that you don’t have evidence to prove.

Tell ya what. I don't have time to go and watch multiple games and pull plays where this is happening but i will do this for you. Every time i see it tonight i will post
@Blazers1977 in the game thread. My bet is you will have at least 4 call outs. Now if those plays happen to be put in a highlight reel somewhere you will have more hard evidence but i'm betting they happen pretty fast and because they will be dependent on another player making a shot or making another pass to get a shot, You wont get much video of them. Best i can do for you bro.

I'm not making an argument either way, I'm saying your evidence isn't sufficient.
