You can see the media bias. We win they talked about how GS was missing key players that they relaxed and let us win. They said Paul wasn’t a fit and made a mistake. Memphis wins by double digit points. Pretty much all game they were up. And all you see is that curry and Durant got ejected and that they struggle in defense. Utah handled okc played great and all you see is about okc. People were thinking they jazz would be a lottery team. After watching them idk. Maybe they just exposed okc big flaws that everyone in the media ignored but were obvious on their first game. I don’t know if anyone notice that we had 2-0 record and we were in 3 or 4 place on the standings. Everyone else on top had 1-0 record. Idk how that works but I thought it was funny. that was on nba.com Lol I just checked again and we are in 2 place. Clippers ahead of us with. 2-0 record. I guess bcoz they beat their division rivals the LAkers. Hope we play great on Monday. I like our defense we just need more time to gel.
I never wanted Melo. Not that being stuck with Anderson is any kind of prize, but he's a better fit for this team as currently constructed than Melo.
Maybe they are still adjusting in OKC, but it doesn't look like they have the key to a championship formula there quite yet.
Not sure if that was the original Super Saiyan gif But Harden's is arguably better, because of the extra stage to add the super beard.
Yeah, I think Melo to Houston has always had legitimate question marks....especially pre-Harden. Melo for Anderson, not so much, though. Man, that game-winner for OKC today (spoiled by Wiggins' heave) is vintage Mr Clutch Carmelo. If nothing else, dude has been the clutchest, last-second shooter in the history of the NBA, imso, and at Syracuse too. He'll be doing that the rest of his career, like Pierce kept doing.
I think there's something to be said for him adjusting to our system. If takes a bunch of shots instead of passing when he's open, that's what we want! I don't know if that OKC has a system anywhere near as good as ours. Also OKC had almost no one to hit a 3 like that last year. Russ would have had to force up a shot.
Well the first is the original with el piojo Herrera. Hardens gif looks nice and crisp but Piojo gif is better. hardens hair was just paste. The beard looks petty bad. The electricity and yellow aura is a mess too. If you ever watch DBZ is way too much and random. Piojo’s lighting and aura or energy goes well with his movement and it wraps around him. Sorry just being picky.
No offense to Melo but I would not have trade EG for him either. Morey did the right thing. Honestly even Ryno looks better then a inefficient chucker on the wrong side of 30.
Not surprised one bit, but honestly who cares, I like us being hated by the media and treating us the underdogs every year the only way for this team to get everyone's respect is to make a good playoffs run and at least make it to the finals.
16.62 PER, the worst mark of his career. Net negative is looking like a major possibility on this team. Less touches for Westbrook & George, 12-15 misses a game for Carmelo, resulting in transition buckets for Team X. Pacers up next.
Always found it amusing how many posters collectively lost their sh** when Melo joined OKC and crowned them the clear #2 seed. That roster is horribly assembled and doesn't have any philosophy behind it. The supporting cast is also beyond terrible, so you'll see the main issues they faced in the last playoffs, with the 2nd unit destroying every lead they had.
Melo would not be this inefficient in Houston, MDA is an elite offensive coach. We saw it in the playoffs last season, Donovan is very good overall and excellent defensively but his offensive coaching is not up to par.
There's psychological basis for this. When people thought they had something only for it to be taken away, they dwell and act negatively to it despite having a similar net gain without the anticipated loss. Three+ for one trades are rare because the party getting the one player is usually the winner to a lopsided exchange. Which is why it was only brought up whether Moray "overpaid" for Paul when Presti did it twice. People B&Ming about firing Moarey came more from the basis of Presti out-moreing moree than his actual strategy or style for team building. So I guess they replace DM with someone exactly like DM but does what they want him to do? Keep in mind that Presti is acting with extreme desperation from the threat of losing a third consecutive All NBA player in his watch. He's rolling sevens but it's triple or nothing with everything on the line. People who want moree or any of their so-called favorite team to play like that have no patience, vision or direction and shouldn't be listened to seriously In real life or on an online msg board that's mostly a pleasant way to waste time.
