Carmelo Continues To Learn From Mistakes
In the DENVER POST, Anthony Cotton writes that "Tuesday evening's ugly 80-68 exhibition win over Turkey added yet another chapter to Carmelo Anthony's trial by fire. After missing four field-goal attempts in seven first-half minutes, the young forward was benched for the rest of the night." USA Basketball head coach Larry Brown "has stressed the importance of ball movement to get defenses out of position." The future All-Star got away from that philosophy during yesterday's game, but "Brown said he wouldn't be surprised if Anthony resumed doing those things beginning with today's practice." http://click.nba.com/index.cfm?n150...e63399668o71791

I think he would be in the same situation that Darko is in, if you cant play the right way, you wont be in there.

Thank god this waste of space isn't on the Pistons.

What about Darko Milicic?

I realize you guys won a title and you can act like not drafting Melo was a genius move by Dumars. But waste of space?

"Matt!"

Hey, Darko knew his role. He didn't ***** like you know Carmelo would have.

Darko will be an all star, Melo is a big showboating baby.

I think being that critical of melo is going a little overboard, but he did look horrible in that game, holding the ball for 7 seconds only to get tied up by two defenders, getting spun twice on a 2-1 fast break, shooting a three with time left on the clock and coming up way short, drawing contact and adjusting his shot - so much that it went over the backboard. it was hard to watch

translation: "I can't think for myself, even though Darko looks horrible in games he must be really hiding his HoF talent from us all. Thank god we didn't get the new Bernard King, we had Tayshaun Prince already."

Melo>all
dark hasnt played yet how do you know if hes good or not?? .034mpg does not count ...

on topic though he prolly woulda added a helluva alotta offense on teh 2nd unit

Baron Davis

Actually he was complaining during the season, I remember an article of that at nba.com.

Yea, if bricking jumpshots and shooting poorly from the line means adding hell of an offensive.

"Matt!"

The first part was completely meant to be a joke.

And while I may not think Darko is this All-World Player some other people do, it's hard to find your rhythm playing 2 minutes every 5th game.

Was talking about melo if he played on th pistons

R-Star

You Darko fans crack me up. I love most Detroit fans, and the team they put together, and even agree that "maybe" and its a pretty big maybe, if you drafted Melo instead, your chemistry may not have been right and you wouldnt be defending champs right now.

But please do not act like Darko is better. Melo is head an shoulder above anything any of you expect from Darko until year 4.

sherako

Well we should get a good look next year at Darko hopefully...and oh yeah start typing clearly your post looks like a bug being splattered on a car's frontview mirror.
