Get out here with this straw man junk.
1) Melli as an INDIVIDUAL was +2. That is NOT a team number, that is HIS number and his alone. He played 24 minutes and was the only starter in the positive. That is a significant indication of his impact on the team's performance. Obviously he played with 4 other guys and against 5 other guys, so there are many variables....but this is a fact: The Mavs outscored the Rockets when Melli played tonight. And on a night when they lost by 9 that points to him being far from a cause of the team losing.
2) Green played 3 minutes. THREE.
