yall continue with this narrative :snoop:

yall act as if this is the first time melo has ever been off the floor. he has been off plenty and the team has played like ass. this about westbrook finally making shots, and gobert being off the floor for a long stretch.
The team is better with melo off the floor thats a legit fact. If we started pp instead of melo we would be a much better team. As far as gobert yeah thats a very large part of it but we cut it down to 10 before he went out anyway.

And he was off court when they started making that run because they were also playing better defense. Melo's supposed to be their fourth best player this series, and he's given them nothing. Not scoring, playing defense, rebounding, etc. You can hold Westbrook accountable for his garbage play, but also acknowledge that Anthony's been terrible detriment to his team also. Those two facts don't have to be mutual exclusive, dumbass. Every fan can see this transparent shyt.

your dumbass just sat up there and claim the run was because carmelo was out of the game. this is not the first time they have played without him. gobert being off the floor was the real key. stop skewing the facts to fit your narrative that somehow carmelo is the cause of all the thunders problems. westbrook jacked up a lot of shots, but they went in the second half.

carmelo was in the game the last 5 minutes and the lead INCREASED. why ? russ and PG made all those midrange shots down the stretch they usually miss. utah went ISO mode with donovan instead of moving the ball.

Gobert's case for defensive player of the year was made again tonight

That foul trouble killed the Jazz, fukked em up.... Mitchell played like a rookie in the 2nd half. Crowder out there jackin shots. Ingles wasn't stylin' as much...
OKC winning this series in 7 games. Utah choked :yeshrug:

maybe in this series, but the advanced stats for the season do not back up your claims. also coaching and rotations plays a factor.

i think patterson should start, but melo should be moved to 3, and PG the 2. utah does not have athletic forwards. melo can guard both ingles and crowder. they neeed a bigger person on favors to keep him off the glass. if donovan was a better coach, the thunder would be a better team.

No, it was not THE ONLY reason they came back from the 25 point deficit, but it was one of the major factors. You're choosing to be dense on purpose.

this is not the first time they have played without him. gobert being off the floor was the real key.

Carmelo being off the floor was another key, too.

stop skewing the facts to fit your narrative that somehow carmelo is the cause of all the thunders problems.

Another strawman. :russell:
He's clearly one of their biggest issues. A big rotation player logging 35.5 minutes offers nothing, but inefficient scoring on high volume ain't one of their issues.


westbrook jacked up a lot of shots, but they went in the second half.

PG did his thing also.

carmelo was in the game the last 5 minutes and the lead INCREASED. why ? russ and PG made all those midrange shots down the stretch they usually miss. utah went ISO mode with donovan instead of moving the ball.

The lead increased, because he stopped touching at the end of the game. And Mitchell still scored at will on him which is Donovan inserted Grant for him soon after. I refuse to believe that you're believe this stupid, but you stay writing garbage posts. :manny:

How were they exposed?

Westbrook had an outlier half and so did PG and it was all because the Refs basically fouled Gobert out in the 3rd quarter

How did PG have an outlier half when he scored 2 sum in the first half? He only scored like a dozen in the second.

OKC came back because the Jazz played like OKC and started chucking 3's early in the shot clock, meanwhile OKC figured out the formula and just attacked.

When did westbrook dis him

I think Melo holds a grudge from when he joked about Westbrook stealing rebounds and Westbrook responded the way he did. Also in a few games leading up to the end of the season Westbrook jumped over Melos back to "steal" a rebound.

but kevin durant's publicist bill simmons told me that westbrook is washed. :mjlol:


fukkin fakkit has fallen off so hard since he left ESPN.
He never said this at all. Simmons said he played so good after the ASG that he's putting him on one of his all-nba teams, but keep up the ducktales.

Also when I last checked the box score he was like 6-21 for 18 pts or some shyt and they were getting killed,
but as simmons also said before you live with the 10% bad of westbrook because of what he's capable with the 90% , which he showed in the 2nd half

keep making shyt up

Then you post this bullshyt.

maybe in this series, but the advanced stats for the season do not back up your claims.

Career lows in VORP, WS/48, PER, TS%. DPBM, BPM. He only has positive net ratings and defensive ratings, because he plays most of his minutes with Westbrook, George and Adams. The bench units with as the lone starter are complete garbage.

also coaching and rotations plays a factor.

No coaching or rotation patterns gonna change Melo's play. He's done.

i think patterson should start, but melo should be moved to 3, and PG the 2. utah does not have athletic forwards. melo can guard both ingles and crowder. they neeed a bigger person on favors to keep him off the glass. if donovan was a better coach, the thunder would be a better team.

He is strictly a 4 now, because he can't guard out on the perimeter. Carmelo has trouble closing out on shooters and making defensive rotations in general. Utah has specially hunted him out on the high PNR this entire series and he gets destroyed whenever he's switched onto Mitchell. If you're an OKC fan yet you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
