Shit man Houston was a top 5 defense last year. You can't replace Ariza and Moute with Melo and expect anything other than this.Fuckin coach is the one who needs to go. Dude can give 2 shits about defense.
Right. Letting Ariza go was a horrible move. But you ever listen to that pussy in the huddle? All he literally says is, "Alright guys we're ok. Just keep shooting. Just keep shooting. We're good. Just keep shooting." Fuck Mike completely.Shit man Houston was a top 5 defense last year. You can't replace Ariza and Boute with Melo and expect anything other than this.
They? The guy stinks.It’s fucked up how they doing him
You don't blame a bench player for a team's problems I see if he was a starter. Plus they got smoked last night and he didn't even playAt some point you have to say its Melo...
Melo didnt play last night and they lost
melo aint the problem, unforunately he aint the solution either
horrible way for his career to come to end
he doesnt have the equity of Wade and a NBA home to play out his last days
either he too old or simply cant thrive in a bench role
damn shame
He hasnt complained once this year about being a bench player but I do agree he's an ISO player in a league that doesn't go ISO anymore. I think it's time for him to retireMelos game has suffered with a paradigm change in the NBA. He needs the ball to be effective, he needs to shoot to get in rhythm, he nreds to score to stay motivated and engaged. I actually thought his game would age more gracefully than it has. But his attitude ain't helping. He never wanted to come off the bench, so to him... It's an insult. At this point though it may be time to hang it up.

That shit ain't gonna work. Melo is everything the Lakers don't need.A scenario:
The Rockets waive him, the Lakers sign him and he plays the 4.
That shit ain't gonna work. Melo is everything the Lakers don't need.
And that's why I can see that happening too.That is why I included the LOL emote in my post.
Yeah CP3 has been trash this year it seems like he's running with bricks inside of his shoes. He holds onto the rock to long and his shooting percentage has been terrible. But with that Max contract he has time to figure it out but I think he's washed tooIts beyond Melo, CP3 been straight garbage this year. Like I said in the NBA thread, he fleeced the he hell out the Rockets with that max contract. No way in hell you give a point guard almost 34 years old that type of money.
It was a low risk gamble with Melo, so I don't knock the Rockets kicking the tires on him.
And that's why I can see that happening too.
Nope. Nigga won't think about getting a rebound late which has been the Lakers biggest problem.As funny as it is maybe playing with his buddy Lebron will re energize him. I can still see that being a huge mess of ball stopping isolation play.
I told my cousin this summer that when the Atlanta Hawks basically pay you money to go away, you know it's going to get bad
couldnt agree more
the worst thing is that the end of his career will give more ammunition to his critics that hated his offense/ISO game
Melo was far from a perfect player
but imo one of the best pure scorers I've ever seen
he had a decent run in Denver, made it to the west conference finals when he had the right team round him but wasted his prime in NY for the wrong reasons (he had one good team season when he had the right team around him) and is arguably the greatest basketball Olympian (he had the right team around him) and won a nation title (you guessed it when he had the right team around him)
unforuately he will incorrectly remembered as a selfish player that never succeeded in the postseason and compared to the careers of Lebron, Wade & Bosh.
