    So someone who studies something more than anything person doesn't have more credibility than a novice.

    That's exactly how we got Trump for President.

    The discussion isn't about the game as a whole, its about a specific players skillset. You can't tell me nothing about his game that I don't already know and I can refute anything that I see as a false media/fan created narrative.

    Ask me about his weaknesses as a player and I'll tell you what they are. Same for his strengths, thats my expertise and I doesn't come from ESPN or Twitter.

    You just dont know much about Melo, its all good.

    The thing Menlo can do for this offense is creates another pick and roll option. If harden/Cp3 man switch then harden and cp3 will destroy a bigger man on them all day. Same with Melo when a smaller guard is on him. Melo can post up or shoot over smaller guards all day. Making them work. We can't realistically play the level of defense as some other elite teams but we can wear them out with our offense and hopefully slow them down. Slowing down their offense helps our slower defense.

    It's good to see the realism here about Melo. Let's see how he adjusts to being the 5th most important player on a team.

    It's valid tho but you're clearly showing me I'm right by turning everything into a slight or an insult. Enjoy the laughter.

    not necessarily. if your bball iq sucks, it sucks no matter if you watch 1000 melo games. you might want to read your own posts before being the hypocrite youre displaying. pretty ironic

    He gave OKC more than what Ryan Anderson gave us... Rockets had too many one dimensional players.. good to see someone who can drive to the hole outside of Harden and CP3.

    He needs to take a few steps back like to the three point line.

    It's true, he looked good in summer workouts I thought be hoodie Melo was a super version of him. I'm not rooting against him I hope he comes in and be Olympic Melo.
    Are you from his PR department you defend everything said about him

    If this was Trevor Ariza, or Luc; the Clutchfans contingent would be jizzing on themselves.

    Trevor Ariza isn't a tenth of the player Melo is, or was - yet, on Clutchfans he's a hall of famer.

    basically any pro player is going to look good in this type of setting. but against nba team defenses in the middle of a physical game during a physical season, it's a lot lot different. he'll probably give us more than garbage ryno though

    I'm refuting false narratives there's a difference.

    Remember a lot of training last off-season was preparing to be a Rocket. OKC didn't use him in that way so yeah of course he's not going to look as good as he should have.

    I love the labels. PR department, MELOOF.

    Tons of grade school tactics from grown men who can't just have a discussion.

    Guys, just chill. Whether you like it or not, he's gonna sign here. Let's wait till we see him on the floor before we get out the pitchforks.
