Carmelo Anthony notched a franchise-record 33 points in the third quarter, finishing with 45 in the Nuggets' win over the Timberwolves.

simply put that quarter was sensational, melo has one of the most complete offensive packages in the league. he can score inside, outside, hit the 3, probabley the best small forward on the block and can get too the line as well. great player. His still got a high ceiling as well because he can improve his defence a whole lot.
-
thats crazy!! but cant believe he was only on fire like that for one quarter. You woulda figured he woulda scored 60+ if he drained 33 in a quarter!
-
Melo playing at peak levels=top 5 player
-
carmelo deserves a better team...
-
^huh? he has some awesome players complimenting him right now...Billups, Nene, JR Smith, etc...Denver's improved a whole lot after the Iverson trade.

ok but denver its not a top team imho...

the nuggets are actually looking real good imo, chris anderson has came back better than expected and pretty much provides what they lost in camby, martin is back to full strength and nene is playing well

do you consider them a top team ?

The Nuggets have the players around Melo to make them a top team if only he would show more consistency, more maturity and better defense.. it's up to him really, his supporting cast is good enough.

not a top team in the sense of the celtics, lakers and cavs but there deffinatley looking like they belong in the next tier of teams with the magic, detroit, spurs, rockets, jazz who have the potential to break into that echolon. All im saying is the nuggets probabley are looking like the best theyeve looked in years, well ever since melo got there really.

LMFAO, Carmello EASILY has enough talent to contend for a title, like 7even said it's all on him, currently the Nuggets have a great looking roster

Melo's supporting cast has always been way better than LeBron's... look where the Cavs have been and where they are now, then look at the sorry ass Nuggets during the Iverson-era and look at them now... that quarter he was shooting lights out, but he's nowhere near LeBron's, Kobe's or Duncan's level... nowhere near. It's all on him, the niggas he plays with can play.

This is complete bullshit...LeBron has always had defensive anchors around him who got him the ball. Carmelo was always placed around other scorers who couldn't defend. Melo finally has a suitable supporting cast, so we'll see what he does with it. BTW, Nuggets were a 50-win team in the west during the Melo-AI era, better than the Cavs, so I dunno what you're talkin about to begin with. LeBron is closer to Carmelo than he is to Kobe...PeACe

How can you diss the hell out of the Suns all the time, then turn around and act as an apologist for Iverson's Nuggets? The Nuggets wouldn't have beaten the Cavs in a 7-game-series last year, I really don't think so. The Cavs almost beat Boston, who kicked the Lakers out of the arena, while the Lakers could not even toy with the ridiculously inferior Nuggets, despite them having a former MVP and bonafide All-Star in Iverson, a supposed top-player in Melo, a great weak-side defender in Camby and genuine athelticism in Smith. They still sucked major dick. Melo doesn't have the maturity he's supposed to have, lacks character, doesn't play defense and his 3-point-shot is also very inconsistent. And don't get me to talk about his play-making ability in comparison to LeBron. By the way, LeBron currently has the highest PER EVER. Higher than Wilt, higher than Jordan. Needless to say, much, much, much, much, much, much higher than Melo or even Kobe. And his team is winning. Without any All-Stars. Saying Melo is close to LeBron is an insult to people who think.

yeah i have to agree, both the nuggets and the cavs have had decent/good supporting cast around them since they entered the league apart from lebrons first and possibley second year in the league. melo got to the playoffs the first year he was in the league. the cavs with there team now reminds me of how the 76ers were with iverson when they got to the finals, a great scorer surrounded by great defenders.
out of curiosity nick, who do you think is the 2nd best player in league behind kobe?

melo isnt that much different too lebron ,there is actually things melo does way better than lebron, melo is the best post up small forward in the league, if melo had the ball in his hands at the 3pt line for 90% of the game im sure melos numbers would be more comparable to that of lebron. Not to take anything away from lebron his an awsome player and i personally think his up there with kobe but he does have the ball "all the time" and is asked to "create" for his teamates hence his high assists and play making skills. Melo isnt asked to do this, melo is the "focal" point of the offence in the sense his the target on the low block.

it may very well be LeBron...but it's definitely not a close 2nd.

i'd like to see melo play for the lakers 8)

.. and I'd like to see LeBron and Harris play for the Mavs.. what's the point?
-
Great scorer...but thats it. He doesn't play a lick of defense, he's not a good playmaker, he takes ill-advised shots, and unfortunately - he hasn't grown much since his rookie year. Dude is a hot head who just can't stay grounded.

Melo sure looked close to LeBron last game... :-X
-
Lebron is WAY better than Melo ... that's not even arguable
-

you can credit Cleveland's defense for that...switch their roles, and see what happens.
-
Lebron is a more explosive player and seems to be more consistent...Melo has the potential to be better cause he does shit that Lebron doesn't do particularly well (post up, 3pt shots, etc) but the key word is potential.

It still cracks me up that "niggas" is a consistent part of 7even's vocabulary. lol
