Yea I think Melo's shooting slump might be/have been a blessing in disguise..Now he sees how much he can help this team on the offensive boardscuz he grabbed like 12 or 13 of them last night... Hopefully when he's wet again he'll continue to rebound well too..Cuz Melo is like 6"8240...he's way to strong and athletic to not grab 8-10 rebounds at night...Originally Posted by aepps20
Melo and AI had great games last night. I think those guys get tired of people always saying that they don't do anything but score.

Nice to see you've joined the "FGK" subsidiary of Team Denver Nuggets, Inc. As I've said before, I'll change my sig once I seesome consistency in philosophy and attitude from this squad. I hope for the sake of the season that George Karl can prove me wrong, but I just don't seethat happening. I'm not sure how the front office feels about him at this point, but GK's seat has to be warming up a bit. We have an injury-ladensquad with little to no consistent shooters, and he decides to bench a healthy JR Smith for 2 straight games. This is the same GK who made it publicly knownthe JR would not be playing for the remainder of last year's playoff series. The same GK who a year prior got into it with K-Mart during the playoffs. Andthe Same GK who has not gotten this team to play with any consistency, other than when he first took the reigns in the middle of the 05-06 season (when theteam actually felt a need to impress him). I think another first-round exit will have George Karl back in a commentator's chair. The only question is, whowill replace him?
I would only be cool wit the nuggets trading camby for an all star caliber pt guard who has more of a pass first mentality..which means eitherkidd...or maybe nash/paul (Originally Posted by Enlightened Thought
give us camby.

Camby is untradeable, period. And why the hell would the Nets trade Jason Kidd AND Sean Williams for only Marcus Camby and a headcase named JR Smith? Sean Williams is the next Camby except he's more athletic, and why would they want JR when they have Vince and RJ? And as for the Nuggets... Camby is untradeable. He means too much to this team. And we need shooting, not Kidd. I love him and he's one of the best point guards in history, but he doesn't solve any problems for the Nuggets at all.

The most positive thing to note first and foremost is that we never gave up. We had some key stops at the end and had to overcome some BS calls from everyone's favorite (W)NBA referee, Violet Palmer.
The next thing that comes to mind is that Melo had his 3rd straight double-double, including the rebound off the missed freethrow by Brad Miller, which led to the game-winner from Kleiza. One can only hope that this is not some flash in the pan streak that will fade away once Nene returns (soon but never soon enough). Carmelo may not be a "Walking Triple-Double", but he is sure as hell a "Walking Double-Double", or at least he would be if he would just focus on rebounding. As has been indicated by quite a few fans across the net, Melo's slump may have been a blessing. Scoring comes natural to him. He knows it as he's said it multiple times to the media. Now he has to realize that he's not going to become a superstar by working on his strengths. Contrarily, you become a superstar by working on your flaws. But the thing about rebounding to Melo's game is that it's simply a question of effort, plain and simple. The guy knows how to rebound, we all know that. He averaged 10 as a freshman in college. He just needs to dedicate himself to the boards. I even hope the Nuggets organization will readjust his contract with a rebound incintive. If his numbers on the boards don't rise I'll be forced to stop "questioning" his heart, and come to the realization that he just doesn't have much. Don't just score Melo, B-More.
And why does it seem like AI and Melo trade off bad shooting nights? I want to see both of these guys go off on the same night. They both get off shots, but either AI's hitting his or Melo is hitting his, never both. The supporting cast is getting stronger with Anthony Carter playing solid, Chucky Atkins returning, and Nene on his way back. And I guess whatever the hell is going on between JR Smith and George Karl seems to be... whatever, JR got minutes and hit 3's so I'll take it.

Camby's performance tonight just ended any discussion about ever trading him
