How y'all feeling about Melo? Dope as hell to see him out there. Wish the Blazers had a better record....but then again I don't lol

"What's the +/-," I wondered after hearing the very impressive 22.3 PPG 57.4% FG 7.7 RPG stat line.

"Goddamn," I said after seeing +56.

Doesn't even matter who it was against-- They said the dude didn't deserve a spot in the league so all that matters is it was against NBA competition.

I always felt he belonged but did not think he could do that well. Props to him. Story of the year so far.

but like I said before, tearing down Melo is the only thing the press seems to do

Where did all the Kyrie bushing come from?

I think the only issue with Kyrie is that he already achieved his goals. His goal as a player was to win a chip and he did that. And it wasn't like he rode the wave to the chip. As much as Lebron willed them to that game 7. It was Kyrie's 3 in the closing second that really sealed that game up.

So he won his ring. Now all he wants to do is enjoy playing the game without all the media bullshit. I can't fault him for that. And fake fans who cheer and 'worship' you one season then burn your jersey and boo you the next season for joining a different team. I can't fault him for not being okay with that bullshit either.

Some players want to be regarded as one of the greatest to ever play the game. Others just want to play ball, have fun, and provide for their family. Kyrie is clearly in the second group. And the media wants him to be in the first group.

Let that man live.

It seems like his whole image changed once he did the flat earth shit.

 

[REDLINE]

There's no such thing as "KD's Warriors." Never was. That's why he left.

Your reply literally had nothing to do with my statement but have fun, it’s Saturday!

Some Nuggets fans wished he never got signed. Smh. That was almost 10 years ago. They still boo this man here. Fact is, he led us to TEN consecutive postseason appearances after being bottom feeders. I'm happy for him.

By,being dirty is he referring to when the Cavs tried to trade for Paul George and Eric Bledsoe for Kyrie. I think most people would take that deal.

How you going to make that claim yet won't say it.

For whatever reason, this coon have something against Cleveland even when Lebron came back here.

I think he’s referring to him signing an extension with the idea the team would be molded and evolved around him. Then a few days later Lebron decided to return and all those promises went out the doors.

Trying to trade him should never come as a problem, especially when he request those action be performed.

This Euro cat is killing, gotta give him props. No 20 year old has ever done this.

I dont see,how that's doing Kyrie dirty...Kyrie should be thanking the Cavs for signing Lebron because he wasnt winning at all.

Can you imagine Wiggins and Kyrie playing together. That would not work at all.

Man i agree but that’s all I can think of.
We gonna do this and that then boom, Lebron comes back and shit is catered to his likings.
This is right after dude signing his extension.
The timing of tge events is the only thing, I could think of...

 

[HotNixon36]

The Lakers are playing good team ball, focusing on winning, Lebron and Davis not pressing like they used to years ago.

They are playing more natural. That's why i have always Lebron and Magic is a better comparison, this is the first time I have seen Lebron play more focused and under control. Just distribute, coast, and win, do not waste energy on rebounds, got 2 HOF Rebounder's and 7 footer to do all that dirty work.

Now he is just being himself, and can coast and stay healthy for the playoffs. If they play off each other like this, can possibly win 2 or 3 more rings.

 

[Llano]

Lol which box y'all checking...



I never thought he was done at this stage but I said he can't come back with that star mindset and has to understand his new role.

 

[therealjondoe]

Ill believe it when there is a bigger sample size
He was washed

 

[1smoothnupe]

So what category will you fall under if the continues to perform like that?

Let's wait for the IF

 

[Complex]

I think it's more his defense and his reluctance to play the four, which made it more obvious, because he doesn't have the foot speed to keep up with threes.

 

[spider705]

81 points in the first half vs Atlanta
Harden with 31

If the role players can consistently make the opposition pay when they double Harden at half court, they'll stop doing that shit with the QUICKNESS

I'm happy melo is ballin'
He's always been one of my favorite players

 

[Mr. Met]

WTF is happening to the Hawks????

 

[jack walsh13]

This Euro cat is killing, gotta give him props. No 20 year old has ever done this.

The 10 rebound stat is crazy

 

[jack walsh13]

Great defense by Ben Simmons end of the game to win it for us. 3 steals within the last 14 seconds of the game

 

[jack walsh13]

WTF is happening to the Hawks????

Jesus fuckin Christ I said the same thing on here earlier. Gonna go see the Sixers down in Atlanta. Tickets should be real cheap the way them niggas playin.

 

[1smoothnupe]

WTF is happening to the Hawks????

They are losing by 58. DAMN.

 

[spider705]

They are losing by 58. DAMN.

They're losing by HARDEN

He's sitting the 4th quarter after scoring 60 in 3 quarters...

 

[Mask]

This Euro cat is killing, gotta give him props. No 20 year old has ever done this.

Yea he is...

Luka
Harden
Greek
AD


Bron as the second option

Hawk Commentators are hot about Harden still playing in the 3rd and putting up numbers. They said it was disrespectful to the players. Lmfao. Play hard if you dont want to be disrespected. No NBA should be losing by freaking 50 points. Hawks Coach should be fired and players donate their game checks. Why be mad at your opposition?

 

[Mask]

A 60 piece damn

Calvin Murphy just said on the post game, "my only complaint as a fan of the game, how do you (Atlanta) put a team on the floor THAT bad??"



The Hawks color commentators were like a few seats away from the Rockets, it's possible they heard them talking noise about Harden still being in the game...

Yeah the need to be mad at the Hawks, you commend great performances.

Ain't that the question of the week. The Hawks need another scorer badly. Did anyone besides Trey have more than 15 points?

Great defense. I'm still waiting on him to become a offense threat. But the defense was point.

League is exciting again.
