lol it's weird to compare Ryno to Melo, but the fact both names are being mentioned does not bode well for any aspect of Melo's game

You think Melo and Ryno are the same shooters?
No, but they're probably going to play a similar role on this team.

If that's true, then we will struggle to even make the WCF. With the loss of Ariza.

Who is this Enis guy he looks a dude at the YMCA playing.

He's a solid player.
ok doesn't really look like it. Looks like a journeyman scrap heap guy

Well I don't know what to tell you. He's definitely not that.
He's not a journeyman have you seen his career history?

I'm saying he's definitely not a "scrap heap guy"
He looked like it yesterday. Also, last year anytime we played the Thunder I was happy to see him on the floor. I knew we were getting an open 3 on Anthony's man every single time....the Pels saw that too.

Carmelo is the same liability that Ryno was last year. I'm not sure why you all think he is any better than that. He is more or less the same shooter and he has the same defensive shortcomings. My only hope was that Melo would be an upgrade in the rebounding department where Ryno was a weak defensive rebounder and a slightly above average offensive rebounder. After watching Carmelo in the preseason and last night, I think it is clear that he won't be an upgrade in any department except for long 2s...which Ryno doesn't take.
We are talking about James Ennis here, not Melo......

After having some time to think about it I think the most concerning thing about last night is what rvk pointed out. We didn't look that bad at any time last year.

Hopefully it is just our new players getting used to each other because we looked like a below average team with those guys last night.

What about vs TOR, LAC, or GSW? We gave up 129, 128, and 124 points in double-digit losses. 2/3 we let them shoot 53% and 56%.

We didn't have cp3 against TOR or LAC and GSW can score 130 on anyone.

I was actually at all 3 of those games last year and they were frustrating but they didn't feel like last night (with the possible exception of the Toronto game). We looked slow last night and gave up a layup line for most of the game on D.

I'm sure it was just one bad night and I'm just over thinking it because it was the season opener. I'm just a little more concerned than I first thought.

Ah yes, I see that now. Oops.

I don't think Ennis is a scrap heap guy either. He has potential.

They are functionally the same shooter in our system. Ryno is actually a better shooter.

Last year for reference:

3pt%
Ryno: 38.9
Melo: 36.4

Catch and release 3pt%
Ryno: 38.4
Melo: 37.8

Wide open 3% (6+ feet)
Ryno: 41.3
Melo: 42.8

Open 3% (4-6 feet)
Ryno: 33.9
Melo: 30.5

I had no idea yesterday was the season opener. With all the Astros stuff going on, I thought it was another exhibition game. I saw the score was ugly but didn't think twice about it.

Maybe the Pels are just the greatest offensive team of all time. They dropped 149(!) on the Kings tonight.
