NOBODY else knows how to score the ball, at all.

NOBODY is a reliable bucket. NOBODY.

He literally SHOULD shoot the fucking ball EVERY
TIME.

NO WAY this team should be a 2-seed. This is lottery
talent.

Not sure what the alternative is...but I need an aspirin.

That's all I'll say.

(and for you nimrods: this ain't Melo hate)

Literally Carmelo came back in the game and the
Knicks went on a tear.

Like, right away.

And it was his affect on others that did it as
much as his actual scoring.

But even I can see that Carmelo is a monster...

Anyone still hating on dude is just trolling at this point...

i'm not worried about no knicks, however melo is in the zone and looks comfortable he is playing his best ball ever.

Durant: 15 FTA
Melo: 0 FTA

is that he turned a negative when he didn't get the whistle when he drove to the bucket into a positive by getting all those offensive rebounds and put backs.

Is that quote personified

i'm fully onboard w/ his foolishness. it's either than or an aneurysm.

Both with the shot clock about to expire...the first off one dribble, pull-up and then a deeeep 3 with barely any time to set his feet.

This is why Russy is the gift and the curse...

The gift: He is virtually unstoppable and can get his shot off whenever he wants...Athleticism off the charts...scary good...

The curse: He has the PG IQ of a hamburger....Dude could have set up one of his teammates with a 1 minute and some change to go, but he pulls up for a missed 3 pointer...

That's why I don't see them winning it all until he dials it in a bit when it really counts....

He's the reason they cut that lead down

he was fabulous and unstoppable

He does that all the time, though...he will shoot u in a game....And he will do something utterly impulsive...

No hate...I've already changed my tune with the kid...He's SCARY...

But you really trust him to make the right PG decision when it really matters?

Scott Brooks should get more blame than Westbrook IMO if no one is willing to dial Westbrook down.

It's wat brooks wants.

Brooks was a point guard when he was a player. I don't think Brooks thinks the current offense is a problem because of how easily OKC can score in the regular season and the fact Durant gets fouls called on him when the opposing player blinks at him. For playoff series though, Brooks should try and get the other backcourt players involved with ball movement. Outside of Ibaka, the OKC front men are liabilities on offense, so it would take an offensive genius to work them in reliably.

I like that Reggie Jackson kid....And I like Russy when he's exploiting his gifts...

It's like dude bails out the defense when he takes those impulsive 3's...

basically, adopt the same dynamic as Wade-Bron. If KD doesn't improve that facet of his game then they aren't winning a chip anyways.

KD can handle the ball, but he doesn't have
point forward chops. Not his MO

If you look at championship teams w/ a dominant perimeter duo, then they have either have a true point or a point-forward or combo guard duos. Otherwise, the rest have crashed & burnt.

and catch up to Russy. He goes for the throat each time down. OKC needs to stop bullshittin and put him at SG and figure out their PG situation, cause he's not a point guard. It's not fair to force him to change his game, wich he's lethal at it, just so everyone can feel good about his play-making abilities.

less talk about westbrook decision-making...more talk about durant, ibaka, perkins, etc letting melo and kidd and them outrebound them.

They were down by a bucket with a minute or so to go...And could have tied or taken the lead with a smart play....If you have Jason kidd or Felton guarding you, it's not exactly the smartest thing to do in terms of pulling up and launching a three when you can penetrate whenever u want to...U r basically bailing them out...

Yep, OKC should have rebounded better...And Melo killed them on the offensive boards....But knowing when to take a shot, drive, or make a play as a PG will be important in the playoffs...It will be interesting to see if Russy lets his exceptional power get to his head on the run to that trophy...

could be one of the greatest players ever if he ever learned to play within in the system as to being a cat who had it all but played dumb and cost his team a sure thing.

right now unless an injury occurs the thunder should run the west for the next 5 years easily, however russ gotta have a coach or teammate check him.

With that said, I'm still nervous having to face Boston in the first rounds.

chicago and boston are the two teams I wanted to avoid most. there's no way you don't come out of series w/ them worse for wear physically unless you put em down early. 6-7 games of roughousing aint good for an old team.

with an option . . . its my option!!

Pau isn't stepping up on screen-roll and the Clipps got whatever shot they wanted.

about that recycled gear. Makes me think that shit is expensive as fuck.

Fucking Pau misses 2 ft's, misses a gimmie, and then we give up an offensive rebound that ends in a 3 to end the half. What should be a 2 point deficit is now 7. Fucking stupid ass shit

I know it's been reported that Kobe is talking about retiring when his current contract expires after next season

but it's also been reported that he feels like he can add some years by playing PG

It would be interesting to see!

Top 5 Kobe

not to mention that he has to actually play ON THE BALL defense.

because that is who kobe will be like if he plays beyond next year and if it takes all of this energy with that lineup to get 40 wins, well lets say i see plenty of ping pong balls in la la land if he is running point in a few years

The fly by, watch, and hope someone helps doesn't fucking work dude

We got 2 dudes leaking out or just fucking watching...and the Clipps have killed us w offensive rebounding.

Jazz loss gets us another step closer to clinching the playoff berth, Gstate loss keeps us in the running for 6th.

Do we really want Denver after last night though?

the one where he "plays the race card"

that inspired this old post

Seems like he's disinterested in taking part in the Grit-n-Grind......he has basically been coasting for 2 weeks now.

but i hardly noticed him during the game, except for a couple of 3's he hit. He doesn't impact a game at all like harden did for okc.
