    At the very least, CP3 & Harden wont be boxing him out for rebounds.

    Two way street. He can't come here and expect to half ass his way to a championship.

    Details can make a lot of difference, even when he's willing to pass Westbrook just isn't a great passer like you can see there.

    This is still the greatest thing I've seen this off-season.

    Some players might like playing with WB but that doesn't mean that he's necessarily making things easier for them...

    The real issue among the NBA experts and the fans is this :

    once Melo will hit a game winner like Green did last season (which Melo is not a bad choice considering teams will rather double team Harden anyway and Melo does have the size to post up, long range or still have the speed to drive and good at drawing fouls),

    all will be forgiven and he will became some sort of savior.

    I hope he will miss and actually it will be better for him.

    He's just saying he'd prefer the Rockets to lose due to a Melo missed shot so he can come back and gloat. Since those are the victories that matter.

    Melo is so bad at defense he makes Joe f'n Ingles look better than Durant.

    Ingles lit us up too if I remember correctly. That guy can play. Give credit when it’s due.

    what scares me is that he was a liability against Utah in the playoffs, and we’re talking about taking down GS

    I fear what will happen once GS takes some time to watch film...the playoffs is where players get exposed
