    Who said I was comparing them?, just noting that your chucking stat is overrated

    It’s all good man, I forgive your hate. It happens to the best of clutchfans with that what have you done for me lately mentality

    And even if I was, how dare I compare a hall of famer to another! But yes it doesn’t take rocket science to know harden n Kobe are better

    You were. Both Kobe and Harden have had amazing seasons, won MVPs, and led their team deep into playoffs.

    Melo has been collecting Ls his entire career.

    There is a difference between selfishly chucking away shots at an inefficient rate while not involving your teammates or contributing anything else AND carrying the load and leading the team, the way other two did.

    But you are a Melo fan, so I dont expect you to understand the difference. Because if you did, you wouldn't be a Melo fan lulz...

    I wouldn’t call myself a “melo fan” I’ve never followed him throughout his career I’m just not dumb enough to actually think he sucks

    Kobe Bryant was always selfish and he had Shaq. Yep your right but you know how many legitimate Hall of famers never won a ring?. It happens to many great players.

    Kobe has had many inefficient games by chucking. While I obvioisly can agree that melo has made many terrible decisions with no gain im
    Not really sure how this pertains to his success and fit here?. He obvioisly has the ability as you’ve seen.

    And no I did not compare them I made a point by using Kobe n harden as an example

    Yeah, I am sorry, but that explains it.

    I actually have, starting from his days in Syracuse.

    How does it feel to study him that long and still be so wrong?.

    Your denial of his success and what he can bring is mind blowing But according to you cutting him would be best or still having Anderson

    Wrong about what?

    Him being a inefficient and selfish chucker and being a poor defender that has collected Ls?

    Both my years of watching him play and his stats and losses confirm that.

    You, on the other hand, yourself admitted not following his career.

    lulz...

    Ahh...too easy.

    What does this have to do with his time on the rockets?. Asking for a friend.

    Cuz apparently this is your go to defense mechanism

    “But what about when he was on the hawks!”

    Okay we get it he has not had many successful stints[like 80% of hall of famers] , but he’s chunking has led to great scoring. He’s still made the playoffs and made some ground so I’m not really seeing your point?.

    We’ve all seen what happend on knicks, were talking about rockets

    I agree but you see how they are flat now, its not going to be fun matching up with these hot teams, and thunder are cranking up there motor getting back into the groove at 4-4, winning 4 straight.

    We will slip into the playoffs with a 6 or 7 seed and lose in the first round

    the west is stronger than ever, and that is saying a lot. its going to be difficult, especially with cp3s increased inconsistency as father time keeps checking in on him. the rockets have to find a way to make a move....or just tank. maybe what we need is in the draft.

    Yeah, if we tank we'll get a good pick. Doesn't matter though because MDA will never play him.

    I wouldn't mind tanking this season if the rockets could trade chris paul for draft picks. This way in the offseason we can bring in good rookies and another star to build around harden for one last run. I would be down for that just for next years team. We are going to be screwed in the future if houston doesn't trade paul now for picks, i would think the knicks would bite seriously.

    We're not going to make the playoffs in this year's west if nothing changes.

    A .500 team in the West this year can be seeded as low as 15th. The East is absolutely trash this year except the top 6 teams, everyone else in the East is tanking their brains out and we embarrassingly lost to some of them.
