Message: [QUOTE="orangefan13, post: 178331, member: 906"] If so I think Bilas is wrong about this. I agree our shooting percentages may not be top tier but how we get our baskets is. When Melo is in the game Him and our power forward both become our 4th and 5th scorers on the floor. And they bring tough not just intimidating but imposing transition halfcourt offense. We have a serious 5 man punch on the floor together of guys who can bring double digits any given night easily. There is nobody you can double. I know the 2010 team had something similar but we are much more balenced then the 2010 team in this reguard. Scoop just jumped to a new level right before Melo had to sit. We got about 25 percent better when he did. We just tore apart St Johns with our ball movement. It wasn't even funny. KJO is turning up again good to see. He hasn't done that in quite a while. And IMO Triche when he utilizes more of the floor earlier on is much better which he didn't do against St Johns. Melo brough the return of Fair and Dion. And that MCW guy and Rak are stepping it up as of late. Our second team has been lead by Dion and CJ and Southerland. They have put up more points then our starters at points this year. Then we went through a stretch without Melo when three of our starters scored half of points almost literally. Now We are settling into the best of both worlds. [B]Its is hinting to a point where someone like Triche Scoop or Melo will get pulled early on after playing awesome. And people will ask Why. The reason is we are not only that deep but also that good.[/B] Only flaw I could see is Dion and CJ both coming off the bench. They work off Melo and if Melo gets his first personal when they come in that makes things tougher. Then again Rak and Melo on the defensive end is fun to watch :). Our 4th and 5th men are probably better in the Melo lineup then any team in the country. [/QUOTE]
