    At this point in time it's quite obvious we are not.

    Yes, but as the team stands a second round exit is very likely.

    Even if they acquire a semblance of chemistry, the ceiling isn't very high and the defense is always going to be atrocious.

    A playoffs Harden + CP3 will get them past first round.

    Would love to hear your thoughts

    Settle down tiger.

    There is no trophy for squeezing out wins against the mighty Nets and Bulls during regular season and certainly not scoring points in spurts against a few teams.

    Melo had some good scoring games on the Thunder last season as well. Remind me what happened in the playoffs again?

    If you had been paying attention you would know that I have already mentioned that the best use for Melo on this team is to provide some scoring relief in the regular season to lessen the burden on Melo and CP3, because come playoff time, he is going to be exploited.

    Yeah was that before or after you were trashing him when it was convenient?. I can’t remember between you and yolo but One of y’all were saying just to cut him

    Yeah how many games has Anderson scores 28 and actually scoring crucial buckets?.

    No one was ever saying he’d be old melo but he can defiantly make clutch shots and help the scoring load.

    Yeah that same thunder team sucks still because Russell doesn’t pass properly.

    harden and paul have to have big games for them to win down the stretch for them to pull out these games. Right now isnt this the 3rd time they both played a game together? so there 1-1 i think with them on the floor.

    Saying that he has been an inefficient chucker his entire career and a poor defender is not hating.

    That is stating a fact.

    And I am still confident about it.

    Keep crying.

    lulz...

    Your biased stats to support your whack claims suck!. Harden based on stats technically chucks more shots. You said more then that don’t try to sugar coat it.

    Kobe Bryant most missed shots in nba 5 rings

    It’s okay, I’m sure melo will still give you an autograph

    Just hope they find there playoff groove fast because starting Monday its a 6 game block that dont look good.

    Mon 11/5 Pacers L
    Thur 11/8 Thunder W
    Sat 11/11 Spurs L
    Sun 11/12 Pacers L
    Tues 11/13 Nuggets L
    Thurs 11/15 Warriors - Of course on TNT So they can blast Houston right out of the gate.

    I see very well 1-5 block there. 4-10 team by the 15th very possible.

    I feel like they win all those games with spurs n warriors being the only maybe losses.

    Rockets are gonna improve and not only was there defensive effort slacking they were all just in a shooting slump
