    I'm not in the GARM day to day. I did read some of the apology thread from h town melo. How did he get banned?

    To be completely honest I didn't even realize he was banned lol been wondering were he was. If it's okay to ask, why was he banned? I've been a longtime lurker of this site and not really sure how it works here.

    If so who is starting? Ennis? Doesn’t add up to me unless we’re expecting to trade for a starter sf

    not sure why it doesn't add up. the rockets had a championship formula in place already. a featured melo goes away from that. but of course people that still think a 34 year old melo is that type of impact player won't acknowledge that

    I see PJ at PF. SF would be Ennis maybe? Or we trade for Otto Porter @steddinotayto ?

    wonder what the minutes and rotations will be.....

    Paul / Harden / MCW
    Harden / Gordon / Melton
    Ennis / Green
    Tucker / Melo
    Capela / Tucker / Nene

    Typical night:
    Paul 32 min
    Harden 32 min
    Ennis 30 min
    Tucker 34 min
    Capela 30 min
    Melo 32 min
    Gordon 30 min
    Green 20 min


    Are we still going after Bazemore???

    I still expect him to start. I should probably start a new thread.

    same. if they're going to remain somewhat consistent in what they were so successful at just this past season ennis will be starting. the only question is how well does he fill that "ariza" void at first chance

    It’s not that I’m advocating Melo to start but literally who is gonna start at SF? Only SF player we have is Ennis. PJ isn’t gonna be a SF, he’s our starting 4. GG is our spark of the bench and I don’t think he’ll do good starting anyways. So who’s gonna start? We had a championship formula with Ariza and we still do but we have a glaring hole at SF

    I agree, it’s bullshit. I doubt they told him he’s definitely coming off the bench already. Maybe he’s open to that possibility but why would dicktony pigeon hole him before they’ve even practiced?

    Ennis or Gordon. Watch out with Gordon starting. Specially with Melo's scoring in the second unit, and Ariza defending a lot of SGs, even PGs, these last years, I could see D'Antoni trying it with EG next to Paul and Harden.

    baring a trade for a sf, as of now it looks like Ennis is going to get that first opportunity. This remains consistent with what the rockets starting 5 a year ago. So its really about how he responds and whether he is capable in this role with the starters.

    I dont buy this. I mean i dont really care if he starts but. U aint starting Anderson, ennis maybe but does that really move the needle. Now if bazemore is here im all for it but currently i would start him

    funny how there's been bench talk from the beginning for this guy and its come up once again. yet there's the meloofs that are still "i dont believe it"

    once again catch up to 2018 plz

    the talk of melo + bench and he's still signing here atleast shows hope that he's willing to sacrifice. that's atleast 1 positive going for him at this point
