    Thanks for posting. Probably not worth reading into, but noticed Melo taking a lot of shots a foot inside the three point line while Harden was not taking any of these long twos.

    Harden gets to pick the music, I take it.

    All White guys look the same, I guess. Looks like Kantar to me, no?

    That's Ibaka in red shorts trying to guard melo.. I think that is Kanter in grey shirt getting dimes from James.

    Speaking from experience, pickup games are usually played on the college 3 line if there's all 3 lines, no matter who's playing. So that could be it. Although everyone else seems to be pulling up from NBA range it could still be the case.

    I know it’s a highlighted pickup game, but that looks so incredibly good to me on the offense end. All I can think about is being up by 30 going into the fourth. We should be well rested but ready to play all season. This video doesn’t even have CP3 or Ego in it >>Expectations

    No problem. As for Melo in this video, I am hoping that the coaching staff will tell him that these long range jumpers should be taken about a foot farther back in order to make them threes. I know D'antoni and Morey would probably prefer that to better fit our offensive scheme. When training camp rolls around I think Harden and CP3 will bring him up to speed on that front.

    Melo taking an absurd number of mid range jumpers in the summer is so annoying. He better not be thinking one summer of work is going to bring him close to CP3 territory. CP3 is a historically elite mid range scorer, and still he hesitates to take them on this team. Melo can take maybe 1 or 2 of those a game IF he is hitting them at his career high efficiency, which is still not good for the team but we can absorb it. He should spend the summer working on the other 8-10 shots he's going to get.

    Melo looks like a washed up buyout guy to me.
