    It's on the 2 yard line, but the QB didn't like the look the defense was giving him. Called a time out.

    Commercial break. Sorry folks, many more commercial breaks to come, it's the NFL after all.

    Sorry, Golden State would kill this Lineup. You need a true 5 either Clint or Nene to take advantage inside. Otherwise you have no advantage and a lotta disadvantage agains their death lineup.

    Eric Gordon may not be left out if scoring is the way.

    I think that's the role (FIBA) everyone thinks Melo should have here to be considered the 3rd star.

    Hoping this **** happens quickly.

    Melo would be filthy in houston playing alongside Harden and cp3.

    He would lead the team in scoring more often than not imo.

    Pls Morey give up the first round picks and get this deal done and let's go take on the warriors for championships.

    FIBA Melo would be nice, but I just remember back to an article Clutch wrote when we got Dwight about how deadly he would be in the pick and/or roll.

    There was only one problem. . . Dwight no like the pick and roll.

    Still, hope is a great thing in the offseason.

    dwight did pick and roll. that wasn't the biggest problem. the issue was that wasn't the only thing he wanted to do entirely.

    Dwight had delusions of grandeur. I think Melo is a lot more grounded.

    Melo is not delusional like Dwight and saw success in the Olympics by playing that role. He actually has an offensive game that I'm sure the team would be open to trying.

    Otherwise, I have no doubt CP3 would whip things up in order, if it got out of hand. Harden is not vocal to call out Dwight. I feel like CP3 will call out the **** he doesn't like.

    Amen on this. The game changed from when he was in the dump-it-down, kick-it-to-a-shooter days. And his athleticism changed, too.

    Now he's being handed around from team to team like Khloe Kardashian.
