    I mean they actually managed to hit open shots and free throws. But I guess Melo’s responsible for Paul and Gordon’s sub par shooting shooting thus far. Clutchfans sure loves their whipping boys lol.

    I don't really believe it. But the politicking around the league to protect him from getting cut makes me want to cut him. Maybe he's worth vet min, but he's not worth drama.

    This is amazing. The media is fawning over Melo.. This is surreal.. 5 months ago they hated him, calling him washed, blaming him for OKC struggles!

    Its more of an anti Rockets agenda than pro Melo

    Morey did not figure this out when he signed Melo in the off season :

    - a team can have a bad defensive player but having two will be a disaster.

    The defensive scheme in this team is working around Harden and everyone should go an extra steps to cover his weakness in defense, that's ok because Harden's value on offense is the trade off.

    But you can not afford the same thing with Melo, You can not expect the team do the same thing for a washed up Joe Johnson.

    When the other team constantly run iso play and they intentionally switched to Melo instead of Harden, that is enough for Morey to pull the plug.

    Judging by the amount of Melo threads and posts you’d think he’s the main problem with the team.

    Tillman's fault for not having money to pay off media members for positive coverage like every other legit billionaire owner does.

    Just face it fellas--we're not the flavor of the month anymore. Media outlets aren't fawning over us as the potential team to dethrone GSW anymore.

    Do not, under any circumstances, underestimate the media's disdain for Houston

    There was a period--maybe a few days--where the media coverage for this team was slightly favorable last year lol

    Rockets were never any flavor. Even when the Rockets were challenging the GSW media hated it. They almost ignored it until the Rockets forced them to take notice.

    Stephen A might as well get on his knees when talking about players, he is about the biggest player suck up of all time.

    The only thing interesting here was learning who the general public hates more: The Rockets or Melo.

    Sadly, we now have our answer.
