Melo was fantastic last night. Tripped the light fantastic in the third quarter last night. Tripped the light fantastic in the third quarter of the Nuggets' victory over the Timberwolves tying an NBA record with thirty-three points last night.

  • Now if he played like that all the time the Nuggets would be mentioned as one of the Best in the West,Carmelo should be mentioned with LeBron James,Dwyane Wade,and Kobe Bryant especially after the performance at the Olympics,but it's almost like He's underrated or something..Still He was Unstoppable last night..
  • not sure he's as underrated as much as he just under performs. i'm hoping this game gives him some of his swagger back. we should be seeing a lot more of these kind of nights from him.
  • What do you mean under performs? Hasn't he been one of the top 5 leading scorers in the league since he began his career, even when he played with AI on his team. That should be a record in itself.
  • im talkin as far as efficiency goes. i think there are a lot of guys that, given as many shots a night as he gets, could have the same production. he should be getting to the line like 10 times a night with his quickness and size combo. and he could really improve his 3 point shot. even though this season he has the highest 3 pt. % of his career, it's still below 40%. it's obvious he's one of the best talents in the game, hopefully playing with billups will help him elevate his game to the next level.
  • i think now that ai is gone, you'll be hearing melo's name a lot more frequently.
  • I am sure he could smoke a quater pound of the wacky tobaccy, in a quater too.
  • that was an insane display...Iceman Gervin flashback
