Soooo many people in here arguing against Carmelo would love to have him on their NBA team if news dropped today that their team acquired him.

What part about TROLL do you not understand. I will not give you a platform to type out more dumb irrational statements. Go ask other people why they think your a trollOriginally Posted by HankMoody
So what's the excuse for his time in Denver? This is the best stretch of his career on the defensive end and it's 2 weeks. So instead of 2 weeks being a better sample size than just the past 2 mediocre years, these 2 weeks are now better than the past 7 and half years. Orange-and-blue colored glasses are sold out, I surmise.Originally Posted by DubA169

If you work at a company and the boss doesn't hold you accountable, doesn't communicate, and relegates you to a role you aren't accustomed to... There is a good chance that you will slack offHonestly that's how I see it. Unfortunately to most of these players, it's just a job. A great job? A job they enjoy? Sure. But they are still flawed and not everyone can be obsessive Kobe style.

But that's just me.Originally Posted by tyisny
You have got to be the first person ive ever saw on NT who manages to be a grade A troll in every forum.
Where are you? Look at this coward libel me and then hide when I ask why.![]()

You clearly missed my point. I know it is an opinionated discussion. What I have a problem with is people taking any criticism of Melo as HATE.Originally Posted by HarlemToTheBronx
OR, and this is just a shot in the dark, but could it be possible that some people honestly disagree and have a differing opinion? What am I saying, of course not. Silly me thinking 'top ten player' is a matter of opinion.Originally Posted by DCAllAmerican
I guess I hate Melo too then. It is sad that we can't have a serious discussion about a player without people getting in their feelings. Because we don't support the play style of a player doesn't mean we hate them. I don't know maybe it is a a defense mechanism used by people that feel Melo is a Top 10 player.

And yes they are defense mechanisms. It damn sure isn't structured debate. People throwing out the hate word. People claiming that we don't watch games. Dudes are getting emotional point blank. Not sure how you don't see that. It is more than them disagreeing, they are in their feelings. Search how many times the word hate has been used in this thread? Is that the best they can do? It is ridiculous.
And yet any positive argument is labeled as homerism and they are blind.....................Goes both ways my dude. I bowed out of the discussion because no1 is going to change their minds at this point.Originally Posted by DCAllAmerican

Why exactly does someone have to be one OR the other? I can't support advanced stats AND watch games? Because I (or anyone else) puts out stats doesn't mean we don't watch games? Can you please stop using that sorry comeback?![]()
