    Do we know for sure that his being "sick" is his decision and not MDA's or Morey's?

    Please keep Capela close to the rim
    Please note that most of this roster benefits from a quicker pace on offense
    Please show that you care!

    and basketball gods please be with us on 3pt shot tonight

    If you take a look at the standings, it looks tight all around the league; there is not a lot of time to suck right now.

    I thin organization is holding Melo out, not the other way around.

    I think if he was willing to play we would play him . What does holding him out on our end do ? It's not going to effect his trade value at this point .

    Even if MDA was going to play Clark over him , on a night like tonight where PJ is questionable (I haven't checked whether he is playing or not ) Melo would have gotten some burn .

    To me this clear cut , Melo not liking the uncertainty of PT that comes with the role he has earned so far. It's not like we aren't playing him , it's just reduced minutes . We gave him enough burn to go 1-11 vs OKC or something like that

    @amaru too .

    Why dont you also post playoffs playing time? MDA only gave Harrell 4 mins average in 5 games in 2016 playoffs.

    No matter what, MDA just did not trust him.

    It's got to be Melo's choice. The Rockets have nothing to gain having him sit out games.

    I gotta side with the other guy here . MDA gave plenty of time to Harrell during the regular season .

    In the playoffs Nene had a great series vs OKC and then got hurt . Yeah MDA ****ed up by not playing Harrell or Dekker then .

    But look , Harrell was pretty much a rookie . And to think that MDA wouldn't have trusted him more next season IMO is incorrect . He got pretty good burn on a pretty good team

    Harrell was a terrible rebounder with us. If you can’t protect the rim and board consistently, it’s hard to play you at C for meaningful minutes (unless you’re a stretch 5). I would’ve preferred D’Antoni play him instead of using a 7-man rotation but I understand the logic somewhat.

    Props to Harrell for continuing to work on his game and becoming a better rebounder.

    Denver cannot guard us. We swept them last year, with ORtg's of 132, 125 and 122.

    We are dusting them tonight.
