Funny how things change so quickly 62 on on 35 shots.

Still not close to me. This was definitely an all time great game by Melo, but let me put it in perspective for you. We all know Melo can score, that wasn't the question, the problem is he doesn't score efficiently on a consistent day to day basic. Durant shoots 50% nightly in his sleep, and makes it look easy. Melo on the other hand is really streaky, when he's on fire? He looks like the best scorer in the history of the game, because it seems like he just makes everything. Remember Melo is a career 45% shooter, this season he was shooting 43% going into that game. So while he just dropped 62, it aint gonna change my opinion. If he starts scoring at a consistent rate for the rest of the season, and not just for a stretch like he's known for, then maybe it gets a little closer. I still say Durant is the guy.

That nicca Melo did work, tho. Funny. Was just having a conversation about how Melo could never lead a team to a chip, then he goes out and drops buckets like that.

Is Brandon "55" Jennings a better scorer than CP3?

No one is denying Melo is an all time talent when it comes to his versatility at scoring but players aren't defined in single game scoring explosions.

I knew these clones would bring this thread back up after Melo's big game
Durant's been on a tear for 6 weeks that has Lebron like and so now Melo stans get one huge game and they wanna rave

TS%
is the most bullshyt stat of all time.

nikkas like shaq look unefficient because they get hacked.
when in reality they score almost everytime they have the ball in the right postion. cant say that about a lot of other players.

What the hell are you talking about? Shaq's TS% was always around .58
