    I’m not saying Rockets players said that he failed them (Houston)

    Media, former NBA players, and sports forum members say that trash.

    I have baited them... no one bit... I am guessing they are as extinct as Vince Young fans.

    I believe we are in agreement then. Melo got a raw deal.

    I’m saying Melo can’t come back, not because of the Rockets players, but because the rest of the world
    had made him the scapegoat for all the Rockets problems. Easier to join LeBrons team that has a winning
    record with role players knowing their roles.....and they carry his old bones.

    Pathetic how individuals are blaming a backup PF for all the Rockets problems in the first 10 games
    of the season. Melo did everything the Rockets asked. People trying to make it seem like Melo
    was shooting endless mid range shot after endless mid range shot.

    Here is Melo’s shots by distance:
    https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/a/anthoca01/shooting/2019
    Range...................FGA................FG%
    @ rim.....................18....................61.1%
    3 ft to < 10 ft............8....................50.0%
    10 ft to < 16 ft.........15...................46.7%
    16 ft to < 3 pt..........16...................37.5%
    3 pt..........................64..................32.8% ***37% if you go by just the first eight games. Before giving up on the Rockets.

    Rockets asked him to be a spot 3 shooter....except for some ill advised 10’ to < 3 pointers early in the season, he was.

    I think D’Antoni set up Melo to fail by not running more post up plays. Just my opinion. He was 73.7 (FG%) in post ups.

    He just tweeted and deleted it. Took a screenshot and uploaded it to share. Sorry it came from my account, not trying to promote or anything, just the fastest way I could do it.

    So he "gave up on the Rockets" after 8 games? Way to make him look like a winner.

    Wait huh? Have you seen us play lately? Our bench sucks & the only way we win is when Harden goes crazy. We are literally a one man team. So you're okay with James Harden having to score 40+ just for us to be competitive? I sure would love another scorer like Melo giving us another option off the bench. Gary Clark, the guy that took Melo's spot isn't even play games now

    Im glad someone pays attention to details. MDA 100% set Melo up to be the scapegoat. Even when he played well he was yanked out for no reason at all
