    i still dont get how yall can watch this team and somehow melo stands out as the root of their problems. NOTHING is going well for this team, and there is no way some dude off the bench is the reason.

    Melo is a issue but Paul being crap is the root of all the evils plaguing this team cause he looks done as of right now

    No man LOL, you're being a dick. Not only that you are questioning people's intelligence for cheering for a player.

    Addition by subtraction. Dude has a negative impact wherever he goes. It clearly goes beyond the numbers. The problem is the rotation is so thin there aren't many internal alternatives. That being said, there are obviously many issues with the team other than Carmelo.

    Melo isn’t the only reason the team sucks, but people were overhyping him so much during the summer

    “Melo will average 20 ppg, everyone looks better after leaving Westbrook.”

    “LOL at claiming Melo is washed after 1 year in OKC. The guy was an All-Star in 2017.”

    “We win game 7 if we had Melo.” :D:D

    and other delusional posts about scrub Melon

    How long are u gonna be caping for this dude? We are tossing this washed scrub out there for 31 minutes a night so far, and he’s been garbage on both ends and killing us when he’s on the court.

    vet min player, but he’s 6th in mpg and 4th in shot attempts per game

    shooting 37% from the field while taking almost 13 shots a game...efficiency is so below average it’s not even funny right now

    his defense is garbage, and will always be garbage, so he’s providing negative value on both ends of the court for 31 minutes a night

    Idc that he’s some vet min guy when his role on the team is that of a crucial rotation piece

    Melo looks 10x better than EG. And Melo looks struggling to fit in

    He got really bad really fast.

    His offensive abilities are no longer good enough to make you overlook how terrible he is on D.

    Cutting Carmelo would be the absolute worst thing to do right now. You don't want to cause anymore disruption to an already tense environment. Right now, everything hinges on Harden and his health.

    Don't agree blaming a guy shooting better than our 2nd highest paid player, as well as others. No defense you say? Well what about guys with no offense? What about butterfingers sloppy ball handling by others, pathetic FT shooting, and missed easy layups?

    There are multiple culprits in this crime of robbing H-Town fans of the enjoyment of watching them play. My guess is the blame could be spread out on a list longer than a greedy kid's Santa wish list. Let's just hope we don't have to wait for Santa to bring us another win.

    Carmelo is not the solution and not the cancer...... who knows what's going on.

    CF will continue to hype guys......it's no different from other fan bases in that regard.

    Think Rocket Melo is worse than OKC Melo. For now.

    definitely worse, and there’s no Westbrook to blame for all of it now

    I'm not a Melo fan in general, but he's currently the best minimum-contract player in the L. Period.
