    I'll laugh if someone like Sacramento claims him off waivers.

    18 points on 46% from the field! Melo is lethal when paired with pass-first point guards.

    Yes defence wins championships and Yes Melo's not a great defender but I've been telling people around me since KD joined GSW - you can't count on stopping them below 100 points for 4 games in a 7 game series, but what you can do is try to outscore them in those moments when stopping doesn't work.

    I'll believe it when I see it. It always seems like it's a long unnecessary drawn out process when it comes to us & Carmelo. If history is correct, it'll be near training camp before we confirm he's a Rocket

    Did Melo enjoy playing with Westbrook that much? ... I don't think so. CP3, the Melo Whisperer, about to prove all the doubters wrong.

    or is "chicken littles" the new "doubters." I need a ruling @DonKnock @Os Trigonum

    Nah, he didn't. It just wasn't a fit. But what's crazy for me is that looking at PG13 last season, I was thinking he didn't enjoy either. In the playoffs at times he was looking like "F**k this I'm outta here"... But he still re-signed. Crazy!

    Yep, they stopped them under 100 points for more than two games ... oh wait ....

    Nah I'm getting your point brother, I'm just sayin' that you can' count on that, you gotta have weapons ready on the other side.

    oh wait the rockets were the only team to do this period....

    theres absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be able to count on it. that's a horrible mentality. The rockets just proved they had the elements to make it work. the circumstances for game 6 and 7 were the only reason they didn't advance.
