Let's be real: This Melo/OKC Experiment ain't Working

[GunRanger]

Does the Coli want OKC to succeed or not?

I want them to miss the playoffs

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

They're the worst passing team in the league (ranked dead last in passes made), because Russ has such a stranglehold on the team's possessions.



They're the second-best defensive team this season. I think you might need to adjust your eye-test after reading these takes. Yes, you're correct that Russ' bad habits on defense are most certainly an issue, but their team defense is the least of their worries - they have two strong/elite perimeter defenders who can guard 1-4, and one of the better defensive bigs.

Saw what I saw

When one has the ball, the other 2 need to move and cut, but move and cut with a purpose. I see a lot of stationary or moving without a purpose shyt, on some "Ok, it's his turn now. Let me conserve my energy for when I get a possession"

i see that with alot of these "Big 3" teams tho.. no one wants to step on any ones feet..

Damn breh. You gon look real stupid in 7 months or so when Melo is holding up the NBA Finals MVP trophy.

I'm calling it right now. Thunder over Celtics in the finals 4-1. Melo wins Finals MVP.

Ban bet?

"Yeah C.J has to know to pass that back to me, I need that shot" - loose interpretation of PG caping for being useless in game 1 and not getting the GW shot

"It almost went in" - loose interpretation of PG having p*ssy in his veins after being useless in game 4 and not making the GW shot

The shot wasn’t even remotely close. fukk him real talk he if really said anything remotely close to that statement.
You act all out after not getting a shot from 35 feet from the basketball but put up that bullshyt when you do get the ball

The Coli wants fukkery first and foremost

If a team is expected to be good but instead is crashing and burning the Coli will continue to support that because of the fukkery it provides

aint even gon lie Im this right here

except when it comes to the Bulls, then it becomes fukk fukkery and being about Ws(in this case Ls for the sake of tanking)

Their bench lacks shooting. Westbrook or George have to be on the court at all times. Melo can’t log that kind of PT without resting the 2nd half of the season. Team has zero balance.

.... Still tho.. he is their BEST shooter

Explain this nickname

From when they played the mavs in the playoffs...westbrook and that master splinter face dude who used to be on the team were doing their pre game dance and Charlie V interrupted it. They got mad and Charlie made some reference about players pre game routines being dances and starting with "5678"

 

[Lord Beasley]

I'd probably bring PG in off the bench because I'm not sure Melo can run the second unit.

PG technically took the pacers to the offs, he can run that second team and he plays. more minutes than Melo.

If the Knicks end up winning the Melo/ Kancer trade

 

[Killigraphy]

Westbrook is kinda cancerous isn't he? I always thought so, just never leaned on it....on his way to be the next Starbury.

 

[SadimirPutin]

Motherfukker its November ....chill with the prognostications

 

[Jalether]

I don't know about preseason but I know when the acquisitions were made that clown art barr argued with me to the extreme that this team was going to win it all..Started talking about intellect and all that nonsense told the fool wait to till the season starts you can't erase history these dudes have always lost for a reason.

exactly. A leopard cannot change its spots. This is gonna be westbrook and melo all season

It never hit me. It was something @Malta and I often cited in our anti-melo postings over the years that Denver had a better record than the Knicks since the trade. If the knicks end up with a better overall record post Melo that is a bad look for homie

Especially with elite talent like Westbrook
