Take note...

Melo averaged 26 ppg, 5.8 rpg,  3.3 apg on 44% shooting, 42% from 3 in four games this week.

Basically in line with what he has always done.   After shooting under 40% in 5 of his first 6 games, he shot 40% or higher in all 4 games this week and even after an uncharacteristically bad shooting start, he is now up to the 40% mark on the season, that he supposedly will be lucky to crack this season.

He had 17 pts. in the 2nd quarter against Toronto, 20 pts. in the 2nd half against Charlotte, and 22 pts. in the first half against Cleveland...showing he's still capable of being unstoppable when he has it going.  The bad news is he wasn't able to maintain it at all in the 2nd half of the Toronto and Cleveland games when he appeared to be on his way to 35-40 point nights, and he had his worst looking shot of the game when he had a chance to win the Charlotte game at the end.

He's not all the way back yet, but statistically he was pretty much back to normal Carmelo this week.  I know all Orange fans will continue to root for the guy who will become just our second NBA hall of famer, as he bounces back from a serious injury.
