Nope, Ely Won’t Be Blogging Here This Season
Why, you ask?
Well, because Jim Eichenhofer of Hornets.com was right about what he told me last week: Melvin Ely's first blog over on the official website 100% cannot be improved upon.
I'm not even gonna try. (Um, but the tooth story is not for the squeamish. I hope you ate already. Seriously.)

Nuggets Get Blazed In Portland
.356%, that was what the Denver Nuggets shot from the field Thursday night in Portland in a 90-83 losing effort to the Trail Blazers.
And it wasn’t like all the Nuggets shot bad. Carmelo Anthony, Ty Lawson, Nene, Chauncey Billups and Arron Afflalo combined to shoot 13 of 40 from the field. In fact, JR Smith (shockingly) had the best game for the Nuggets. He shot 4-of-7 from...

Is Melo playing better by trying to play worse?
In case you haven’t looked at the WP numbers for 2010-11, after three games, Carmelo Anthony is a “star”. Yesterday, Andres Alvarez offered an explanation for Melo’s improvement. As the following story explains (and this is what Andres said at Nerd Numbers in its entirety), maybe Melo is better because he is trying not to be good. Yes, it is great story.
