Watchin the East 2nite

So true bout the Hawks......sure Boston is great, ATL knows they aint sipposed to win, but their Heart say, man-up and take it to em' and make Boston work and earn this series win. Givin their fans their $ worth

Good blog Melo. It's great that you're starting to do this more. It really gives us fans of yours an opportunity to get to know more about you (or think that we do when we really don't). Keep blogging, I like hearing what you have to say. I wish I could say go Nuggets! right now but now I've gotta root for Dwight Howard and the Magic. Keep bloggin. Peace, one love.

yea, good games to watch..
too bad you guys arent still in the playoffs, but itll be better next year, hopefully...
cant wait to see you play in the olympics...

melo!yeah i think cleveland will win too. they better cuz that deshawn stevenson gets on mi nerves..lol. waaaaaayy 2 conceited!

Yeah Melo the Hawks are the big surprise for this playoffs!
What do u think about Spurs winning against the Suns? :D

The Hawks have shocked the world!!! Just think if they put Boston out in the 1st round!!!! Total playoff upset. Even though im not an Atlanta Hawks fan,I do want them to win cause I DON'T like Boston!!!!!

ATL is up and coming. If you ever get tired of Denver come join us. I know one Hawks fan that would be more than happy to have ya. My favorite player on my favorite team.

Melo you are overrated!!!!!!! HA!! yea I said it!

no hes underrated and i said it

best statement of the year, when you consider we are talking about a guy that was mentioned in 03 to be in the same breath as Lebron. I am a huge fan of Melo's however he is in fact overrated, his basketball IQ is poor at best, he cannot finish with his left and in the post that results in a high blocked rate and missed layups (see Lakers series lol). His lateral quickness is also way to slow, even when he tries to defend people on the perimeter, it just looks like he is a 1/2 a second too late and this contributes to his horrible defensive rotation and running out on shooters. He also has become one of the biggest chocker in the 4th quarter and in clutch situations in general since the 05-06 season. It was on display again in game 4 when after JR scored 6 points in a row to go up 1 he felt an urge to not be overshadowed by the kid, maybe that no the truth but he held the ball for to long and got stripped. The absolute saddest thing about melo's game especaily in contrast to Lebron james (im comparing them just because they went 1 and 3 in the draft, i dont like LB) is his leadership skills, its like he never played highscholl and college ball and someone just introduced him to a basketball in the NBA. Look at the way LB and Chris paul (i would add others bu they are younger) handle their team, they calm down their team, challenge it to be better and most of all perform in all aspects of the game...Melo i guess i put false hope in u when u came into the league, I apologize of thinking to much of u, and thinking u had huge potential, because clearly u cant handle pressure, expectations, the playoffs and the NBA...

You have lost your mind. Melo is one of the best in the NBA. You must be a watcher of sports highlights and not the game if you think he is overatted.

yea highlights and watched 86 nuggets games this year. 87 last year and never more than 87 in a while.

Overrated? Are you kidding me? Melo is pretty much the best SF in the game behind LeBron. You just might want to look at my list and compare to all the other players who play his position. Not overrated.

thats true ha

spurs and celtics in the finals!wanna bet?

Only if the Celtics get pass the Hawks!!!! But remember the still have to come through Detroit!!!!!!

they will!they will!!=D though it pains me to say that=D celtics are going to the finals..

I guess we have to just wait and see!!!

Melo, you gonna be around Denver this summer?

Hey man get Joe Johnson over here in Denver. Just a thought. We'll see how they do in game 7. The Celtics are a hot team that was just slapped together, but you're right the playoffs are a completely diff' atmosphere, - you know it's tough to watch knowing it could be Nuggz versus Jazz, but man watching LeBron, ATL, Kobe, New Orleans.....maybe this is the year to be watchin' if ya know what I mean.

Can't believe ATL forced a game seven!
I, along with the rest of the Sports world, thought Boston would for sure sweep.
I'm impressed!

I remember when Joe Johnson was with my Suns,
why we ever let him go, I will NEVER understand. He's amazing.

me too.. but i think celtics will win! note:im not a celtics fan

They C's aren't my team either, but I wouldn't mind seeing them go all the way.
The fans deserve it, as does the team.

id rather see them than the cavs! though its kinda annoying that they have three all stars in the team but lets give them a break they werent in the playoffs for a long time..

It seems like to me, if you're going to be any kind of true championship contender at this time, you have to have a big three. The two teams with the best records each have their big three, the Hornets, Pistons, Spurs...they've all got their three stars.

three headed monsters! how bout the lakers what do you think/will they make it to the finals? i think spurs gonna do me a favor and stop them

Oh let's hope the Spurs cant stop them. I'm not a San Antonio fan and I'm from Los Angeles so I'm actually hoping for the Lakers to win it all now that my team was eliminated. (Probably shouldn't say that I'm cheering for them on this blog, huh?....SORRY!)

san antonio had finally won my appreciation when they won against suns this playoffs(SORRY), i used to hate them especially last year when they almost killed Nash!(Phoenix is my second fave team though)the only thing i dont like about lakers is they swept denver!=DD
our teams had both the same misfortunes this year!

I really feel like this is the best the Cavs have played. Wally hit his 3's and wasn't scared, Gibson put in work, Ilgauskas was on 2nite, and Varejao barely played. Finally Lebron didn't have to win it all by himself. This was a great game if your a cavs fan. If your just a bball fan, this series was amazing.

Smooth isn't Joe Johnson. J Smoove is Josh Smith. The Hawks got the heart and they are humble (excluding Big Z). I'm not going to be bias and praises my hawks. The percentage of the Hawks winning an away game is low. The C's deserve to go to the round two, but hawks is going attempt in the beginning of the first half ( then lose faith like the 3 previous games). Hopefully the Hawks will finally give a game worth watching this sunday tho.

Celtics are truly over rated. The Hawks are completely embarrassing them. Pierce getting owned by Horford, Allen has OCD, and KG looking weak out there. Celtics should win but this will be world shocking news if they lose to the Hawks.

whn are u m5s coming out?

melo,i love you ,its a pity to lose the game,so in the season i wont see you,i will wait for olympics.

Hey melo ur a beast like AI u guys r great together!! Cant wait till ur bday peace

I hope you're enjoying your time off right now. Fortunately I don't have to wait that long to watch you play again in the Olympics. I liked watching USA qualify for the Olympics last summer and you guys will do even better in the real games this summer. USA!

i hink its boston year but ya gat to watch n see n ur my favorite player

Lakers will win it all. Mark my words.

Hey Melo good to hear from you here......glad you are taking some time off and relaxing....wish you were playing but oh well...I guess its Karma.....I want to see you bring gold from China this year man....you are a hell of a player, keep it up....I honestly dont like Mr. Karl....he might be a good man...but I think he is getting a little too old.......
Good luck....

MELO... can u promise a mvp....????

MELO, YOU NEED TO DECIDE IF YOU ARE IN THE GAME TO HAVE BIG NUMBERS & STATS OR IF YOU'RE IN IT TO WIN IT. IF IT'S THE LATTER, YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO YOUR GAME, PERIOD.

melo, whats up man. the playoffs aint the same without watching the nuggets but theres always next year. i think i am the only person on this blog to not go for the celtics, cavs, or spurs, i'm gonna have to go with my boy CP3 and the hornets...lol....maybe you could bring him to denver...lol

hello melo!!!!! I am italian my name is cristiano...i have a 12 years...you are my hero!!!!! with Allen Iverson...Denver nuggets is my favourite team...i live in milan...you are a MVP...helloooooo!!!!!!

M E L O, Ur body wasn't ready for that level of play-- that's why you missed so many shots. Can't coast through the season every year, and then expect to turn it on.
GET IN BETTER SHAPE
LEAD BY EXAMPLE-You lack focus, discipline, energy, hustle and the desire to win.
YOU GET YOUR 25-30 points, a couple boards- and that's good enough for you.
THE FANS ARE TIRED OF IT
I have little hope for you. Glen Robinson reincarnated.

Hey Melo, glad you are enjoying yourself. I'm sorry you have to put up with crap reporting. Everybody gets a speeding ticket (I got one in February...). Anyway, you and Allen got robbed out of All NBA selections. In my opinion, Yao Ming and Paul Pierce should not have me the list. No disrespect to those, but you and A.I. had better stats.

I forgot to add, I can't stand your coach.

Hey man when you're ready to get it going again please: 1) Dedicate yourself to a full year of just not getting bad news all up in there 2) Get yourself in the best shape you have eva' 3) Figure out these playas because they are in the playoffs now - figure 'em out so you can dedicate yourself to figuring out their weaknesses instead of them figuring out yours 4) Team U.S.A. start there and pretend like the slate is clean and you've still got to earn it.

Dear Melo brother,I'm your little fans from China.
Don't be sad or give up.
You are all the best!!
Suppouting U all the time!!

Hey Melo, We love to watch you play and see you smile! Take care of you for those who love you and for your fans who love to watch you and for yourself to enjoy the results of your hard work and talent. You're a treasure!

Hey Melo, I just saw you and your mom on CBS. The picture of you and Kiyan was too cute.

Hey Melo-man what up boricua...! hey man I think NO is going to nix SA...! what you think man?
