    It’s all about that chemistry. Very true. Great to hear it’s still there, and excited for this season to start already!

    If only chemistry could prevent hamstring injuries... we’d have a 3rd title... which this time last year no “expert” would’ve even fathomed was a remote possibility.

    Of all the players who played 41 games + with at least 1 ISO play per game, Melo ranked 31st last season, although he was in the top 20 (above Harden) the two years before that. If he can get back up to that level we could be pretty killer, having 2 of the top 3 (on insanely high frequency) and a 3rd in the top 20 wouldn't be too shabby.

    Totally dodged the question about Melo playing the 3 or 4.
    Answered the Bzdelik question by saying he's excited about Matt Brase.
    Otherwise, general Morey optimism.

    Morey I am sure has some opinions about Melo. But I can understand him leaving the rotation questions to MDA.

    If the Rockets keep the switching system from last year then it doesn't matter which position Melo plays. He'll end up having to guard the perimeter regardless because teams will always try to get him switching on their best ball handler. On offense it doesn't matter either because the Rockets play with 4-out on the court and Melo will be one of them regardless of position.

    I don't think he dodged the Melo question -- the truth is he's likely going to get a lot of minutes at the 3 and the 4.
    So that leaves the question where is he going to end up with the most minutes? Most likely it will be dictated by matchups and whatever D'Antoni is thinking that night. He likely doesn't know where most of his minutes will be.

    What I'm saying is, flip a coin.

    Ennis sounds like he secured the starting 3 spot.

    Maybe this answers the Melo question.

    Makes sense. So it sounds like me Melo will play mostly EG. So EG and Melo together. Not bad
