2018 OFF-SEASON DISCUSSION THREAD

[Mexi]

Im just prepping you for the disappointment you might see

I want you to understand that hes a very very frustrating player at this stage of his career

I watched 90% of the thunder game last year and it was so sad dude, so sad

Youll be so mad when you see how he slows everything down. Transition, ball movement, everything

Im just saying man, i want you to be ready for this

Chris Paul and dantoni.and harden will be better for him than the stat padder in okc

Idk why you're so scared

 

[Paulius]

And the notion you have that dantoni will get more out of melo is just straight positive thinking from you

I had hope too last year, the same way you do now

You cant get more out of him dude, HE IS WHO HE IS

 

[Mexi]

Houston is a top 3 seed. Period

And Morey isn't done. We'll see what happens

 

[Paulius]

Chris Paul and dantoni.and harden will be better for him than the stat padder in okc

Idk why you're so scared

Haha alright man

 

[Mexi]

And the notion you have that dantoni will get more out of melo is just straight positive thinking from you

I had hope too last year, the same way you do now

You cant get more out of him dude, HE IS WHO HE IS

he fits Houston better

And if he trusts his teammates,like he will, he'll be alright

 

[Mexi]

PJ Tucker will start at the 3

Melo at the 4

Melo is an upgrade on Anderson and PJ is better than ariza

What's the problem again? Oh yeah "defense"

The biggest cop out known to the NBA

 

[Paulius]

When it comes to Melo, you do realize its not even about defense, right?

 

[Mexi]

MDA
Harden
Paul

Melo will be fine

 

[Paulius]

Oh yea, forgot how fine mda and melo were before

 

[Paulius]

I mean who knows

Maybe his mindset will be different, maybe he will be fine with a smaller role

And good for him if he has the right mindset, thats respect

I said many times that people would respect him so much more if he just admitted he wasnt a star antmore and just took a 6th man role

But you dont know either, and all youre doing right now is thinking positive and being hopeful, which is ok. Gotta bullieve

But dont tell me i didnt tell you so midsesson when you’re going off on melo after some rockets loss

 

[snipezo]

And yes ariza's defense is better than Melo, but they did sign Ennis and MCW who are probably better defenders at this point

lol mcw might be an ok defender, but i feel like his offense will make him close to unplayable. 

 

[snipezo]

MDA
Harden
Paul

Melo will be fine

MDA quit NY cause of melo. Not sure how it's going to work out again exactly.

 

[Mexi]

They're on the same page now

 

[Mexi]

I really hope DeMarcus fucks with gsw's chemistry

2k rated him a 90 and if he's back to rhat, lmao what a joke of a team

I forgot he could be so good since i just don't know if he'll ever be the same, so seeing the 90 rating gave me a wake up call

 

[snipezo]

They're on the same page now

We'll see

 

[Paulius]

Guys

Whenever bron fans are throwing out the excuse “his teammates suck” next year

Lets not forget the fact that Magic consulted and got the okay from Lebron on every move

Please lets not forget that the way everyone forgot when he was in Cleveland

 

[Paulius]

Feel bad for Luke

Just gonna get blamed for anything bad that happens

And like ive said before, probably fired too

 

[elcheato]

MDA
Harden
Paul

Melo will be fine

Rocket Mexi back?

 

[BNC]

4yr/$120M extension for KLove. Probably a mistake for Cleveland, but might make him easier to trade

 

[Paulius]

Def easier

Locked him up
