    To me it seems like the Lakers are a pretty mediocre team tbh...the problem is we are just not as good as we should right now...last season we would've been up 15 already.

    The warriors? We talking warriors......?

    Lets just try to settle on beating some lowly ranked playoff seeds right now.

    Melo has started pretty good tonight. 5 points 5 rebounds in the first quarter

    It's really puzzling.

    Why make things harder on yourself?

    Take the open shot.

    Take the shot in your rhythm, like he did right before the buzzer to end the quarter.

    IMO, the reason his % is low is because he takes bad shots, not because he is a bad shooter.

    I'm still struggling to get my head around the fact that Clint looked at Dennis Schroder and said "yep that looks good, I'm gonna do that"

    He's looked slightly better this game. But he's obviously not as hungry as he was before. Hard to be when you get that first big contract. That's what separates All stars and superstars from role players.

    It stems from the expectations that we were so close to beating the Warriors in a 7 game series and this current team doesn't look anywhere close to competing with them.

    So disappointed in Clint right now .

    Looks like a total bum .

    I didn't expect him to be in his playoff form from the beginning .... but he looks like less than 50% of that

    If this was last year's Rockets team, we would be blowing them out already.

    Yup.
    He wanted to get pay I thought we over paid him. First offer was what he was worth but not more. Last two games and preseason he has looked worse than last year.

    If we could just get a few more LA specific story lines that would be great.

    Could they maybe get some hippies from Venice Beach or Disney Land employees to say what Lebron being in LA means to them?

    Rockets still playing preseason ball and preseason players. MCW and Ennis should be nowhere near the court.

    Melo rebounding well and taking his shots in the flow of the offense.
