    That is pretty shocking. Did he age 10 years this season or is it damaged ego?

    yes, he his famous. forgot his name he is some sort of doctor. the one behind the free throw line right! he once got threathened with a lifetime ban by the nba a few years ago. he got a letter from nba about his props being over the top, so tone it down or get a lifetime ban. so he has been toned down.

    Yeah, Carmelo Anthony became washed, Paul George regressed to trash and Victor Oladipo became a franchise player in the span of a single summer. Strange. I wonder what could have caused that.

    yet, with 24.7 to go the refs are reviewing the play to see who it goes out of bounds of. Billy Donovan after the review calls his last time out! seriously! that is bad coaching! what was he doing while the refs where watching the review and jazz where coaching. terrible move

    but he can make 26 million. he prolly wont be getting that on a 3 year contract.

    if melo is smart just take the money carmelo even if you get 82 dnp it will be more than he will get playing for some other team. then retire. or egt a last deal

    Plus Roberson defended Harden really well. Melo is really washed up.

    Not to mention:
    • 2017 Adams = 11.3 ppg 7.7 rpg
    • 2018 Sabonis = 11.6 ppg 7.7 rpg
    Sabonis doubled his productivity from last yr to this yr.

    The Deadspin Russell Westbrook PR factory is running at full capacity today, complete with an anti Rockets lament, because of course it has one:

    deadspin.com/the-thunder-were-the-ugliest-version-of-themselves-in-g-1825623351

    Browse down to the comment section if you want to see the author trying to refute every single negative anti Russ sentiment by replying to every commenter, as well as a testament to how important the Rockets April matchup vs OKC was.

    Westbrook is their “super star” thus he deserves all of the blame. Just like the entire city of Houston blamed Harden for Game 6 last year. That’s just the way it is. The problem is Russ makes everyone else worse because you can’t build an offense around him. He has to control the ball to get his numbers and so it results in other guys standing around a lot. There is no offensive flow. So glad he’s on OKC.

    I mean look at Victor Oladipo last season vs. this season. People said the same thing about Russ not getting any help last year when he had Oladipo. Oladipo moves on to Indiana and becomes a star. No coincidence. Everyone that moves on from Russ automatically gets better. Oladipo, Harden, Durant, etc.

    I am just going to predict that @DreamShook revisits this thread daily, even when there isn't new posts added to it.
