Is it really adaption which we are seeing or is it just because he is being surrounded by superstars?
The two is a bad comparison since the team is different and the roster.
Dwight is in a team in which it is being hyped. Lakers had been the apple of the eye. Not the Blazers.
They added Melo for a chance to change their circulation and maybe add to their chemistry.

Not all debut's are successful, it is just that we are expecting for something better with him and he did not achieve it.
We are the problem, not him. But he does not know that. He thinks he is the problem. He should just play the game.

He needs to have that instinct back, not just to shoot but also to make a good defensive stop, part of adjustment that he needed to cope up right away. He still have enough time to prove he's worth, just another game to forget and move forward and plan another gameplay that might work and give the team a win. Coaches needs to give him some pointers to review after this game to help him to adjust.

Everyone is making too much of one game.  Remember he didnt have a preseason to prepare, he just had to jump in mid season.  It takes guys some time of live action before they are in full form.  I would say melo wont be "right" until january.  New teammates, not playing in awhile, etc all takes time.  I can pick out 1 game for anyone and say wow they suck.

Yeah! He adapt. Look at his present physique and compare it into his prime days, there's a big differenece right? He change his body because he knew that O'Neal kind of Centers (huge but slow) are out — versatile Centers are in today. Those players do not only protects along the paint but also fast, has a good perimeter range and in some cases some of them know how to shoot 3's . Don't get me wrong, I know that being in an All Star team like Lakers is a significant factor to be considered why Howard seems strong but still the majority of his improvements are due to his hardwork of cours.
You have a point mate but do you really think Melo got no problem at all? I don't think so. Okay let's disregard first the critics from the crowd. Melo did a 4/14 FG, turnovers and 2 offensive fouls (according to the post above). See? He is inefficient at the moment, so I think it is fair to conclude that he served more of a burden rather a relief for their team.

The problem is people is just quick to judge because of his problems in his past teams, they were expecting that Melo would show a different game and a different stat but they were disappointed, yeah, it was just one game and not everyone can adjust easily in one game, so let's give him a chance and maybe in 3 games we will see if he can really an asset to the team or just another liability especially in the defensive end.

If Giannis will be guarding him, I think he will have a limited scoring again, if he made 10 points in his first game, he might not score a double digit in that game. I think its better this way that people are criticizing him so he will be challenge to produce what his left in the tank, just one night to lead the team in winning and everything will change, that's how people think.

All eyes are Melo but look at the stats of other Blazers starters on their recent loss:

Anthony 4-14FG (24 mins)
McCollum 9-22FG (35 mins)
Hood 4-12FG (32 mins)
Simons 4-13FG (36 mins)

It's an off-night for the starters, not just Melo. It's just that Melo is on the hot seat right now that's why he is the only one being noticed.

Miami Heat, 75 points at halftime. The projection for their final score maybe 140+. It's one of the highest record scores for the franchise prior to halftime. Just a 15 point short to the Houston Rockers who established 90 points in the first half during 2017.

Even those on the lower teams establishing high scoring points during the first half this season. The defense is really not the main point of view now. Almost all teams increase their offensive stats these past seasons.

Okay, let's see his next performance. I really hope *crossing my fingers Melo could add more points to his team for their upcoming match against Greek Freak's team which is also one of the strong teams in Eastern. Honestly, this would be a tough one and I have a gut feel (just a gut feel so don't be triggered again, chill ) that he won't get a better result not only because of strong opponents but also due to homecourt disadvantage. It seems that everything is in favor of Bucks this time so Blazers should definitely make extra efforts if they want to win .

Really amazing. For that short period he already have this numbers. Luka is almost everywhere hope to have more healthy seasons for him,
He added lots of excitement to this league and carrying the team to have more fans to like them.

Pretty face with really good basketball skills. What more more to ask for this kid..
