Unless they play GSW in the 1st round I don't even see them getting through Houston or the Spurs. People desperately hoping Melo will turn into Olympic Melo now that he's off the Knicks don't realize that the teams/competition Melo cruised through in the Olympics are nothing compared to how stacked the western conference in the NBA is right now. And despite all the additions to it's roster no one on the Thunder compares to the prime Lebron, KD, Dwight, CP3, Kobe, etc. that Olympic Melo got to play with on Team USA either.

LOL @ the Cohesiveness non sense, people act like Melo has to put the ball on the floor to get a shot. WestBrook would have had way more assist if he was surrounded by competent shooters. Now he can make his way to hole and dish it out to PG and Carmelo

And at no point in Melo's career will people think he's apart of a championship roster.

Melo hasn't retired yet, there's still time. Its funny though thinking back on that Celtics squad they had 2 finals appearances and 1 championship :mjlol:

No knock on them but the way people talk about that squad you'd think they accomplished more

He's 33 tho :dead:

And that Celtic team was one of the greatest defensive teams ever.

Melo should come off the bench but he wouldn't, he won't :sas2:



I can already see the midseason issues they'll have to correct :smugdraper:


Why come off the bench to play iso ball and one on one. Why not stretch the floor in the starting line up. I'm sure the lineups will be staggered

so are the thunder really plan on starting melo at the "4" lol? @Loose

in the west where they still have good Power forwards

Assuming george and roberson guard the elite wings, melo would have to guard the likes of
Blake
LMA
Anthony Davis or DMC
Randolph ( i know he off the pine now so maybe not)
Dirk
etc...

How's he going to hold up?

just play PG at 2 melo at 3 (melo guards the weaker perimeter player ALA curry) and play melo at the 4 when you go to your death lineup to try and beat GS

Patterson/ Green
Melo / Iggy
George / Durant
Roberson / Klay
Russy / Steph
