folks need to get their feet back down to earth with the melo love. he does this every olympics, he's mostly shooting 3's, the 3pt line is closer, and again...it's the olympics with some of the best players in the world on his team. i usually like melo following the olympics because he comes into the season ready to go...but he's 4 years older, of course.

either way, the biggest takeaways IMO is that he'll go into the season in better shape than the non-olympic years, and that he's winning again while on the team...so it's hopefully a confidence booster.

The Olympics show what Melo is capable of when he has talented players with him. Everyone on the Olympic team plays with another all-star players on their respective NBA teams (sans Boogie). But if it was LeBron going off like Melo, ya'll wouldn't be saying sh*t.

All he does is shoot 3's in the Olympics anyway...that "playing with talent around him" is silly logic especially when you're talking about every player being one of the best at their position in the world...plus it's a short period of games where they should be blowing every team out regardless anyway. So that's all moot IMO.

And you bringing up Lebron is a sign of the insecure, hurt Melo fan. Who cares about Lebron? Not me. It's apples and oranges anyway. The point is - getting excited or upset about stats and all in the Olympics and using it as an indicator is a little ridiculous to me.
