Is Melo a potential MVP candidate?

[KingSpeed]

If he keeps playing like he did the last two games and we climb out of this hole and get a Top 4 seed, does the narrative become Melo lifted the Blazers from the abyss and into contender status? I could see it. Happy Thanksgiving, by the way.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

No...

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I hate to be so curt, but his stats wont be anywhere close to good enough. Like the numbers Doncic, Harden, Lebron, KAT, Dame, Giannis, are just going to be so much better than Melo’s.

If he continues to play like he has, he’ll be important for the Blazers, and thats awesome!!! Unless he’s averaging about 30 He’s not gonna be even close IMO.

 

[Strenuus]

Nope. Way too early.


*sees who posted it*

Or is it right on time?

If you think this is actually a possibility you should make a bet, bc you could get something like 5000-1 odds

I think melo will come down to earth and average about 15 ppg on 45% shooting.

If he’s a fairly efficient 15ppg scorer thats what they were hoping to get out of it. Id be happy with that. Especially if he’s not a black hole and is at least giving effort on defense.

I said IF he does what he did the last two games which would be....

22 ppg 6 rpg 2 apg
61% FGs, 50% 3pt 100% FT
Defense. Leadership.
Plus a GREAT storyline

 

[Scalma]

No but he should be in the conversation for rookie of the year imo.

Too bad they don't have a Comeback Player of the Year award.

MERGE!!!!!!

@KingSpeed Never change man!

There is no chance of this happening.

Honestly Im having a hard time determining if those stats are even guaranteed All Star status... Its close the shooting %’s are great.

Its just not close to the top 10 or so guys and what they’re putting up, and Melo may be huge for the Blazers this year, but its Dame’s team, not Melo’s.

 

[Chris Craig]

No

 

[HailBlazers]

Was really hoping this was a really old thread bump.

 

[Titan]

It’s spelled MIP

 

[stampedehero]

He doesn't have a chance. LeBron stands in front and the Lakers are finally real.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Ohhhh boy.....


hahaha.

 

[tlongII]

Can Melo have 3 good games in a row?

 

[wizenheimer]

I thought Simons was a lock for MVP

 

[PDXFonz]

Too bad they don't have a Comeback Player of the Year award.

Yes! An award for the player who played significantly better than they did last year and the previous years.

Uh oh, BGD hacked wizenheimers account

 

[Propagandist]

No, but Dame is.

Who cares. Mario and Tolliver can’t.

 

[Hobbesarable]

I'll have what KS is drinking!

 

[riverman]

I'm hoping he's an MIP candidate this season

No. Sorry, but the Fakers will always suck.

 

[stampedehero]

No. Sorry, but the Fakers will always suck.

I can see your point but they are for real, this season.

Until we spank them in the playoffs. Paybacks....
