    I was in the camp that thought Melo wasn't close to the main problem the year his was in. I think that the emergence of House meant he'd get bench minutes that I don't think he was ready for. His time away from the NBA has allowed Melo to see the new reality.

    So DeMarre Carroll is just never getting minutes huh? I was hoping he’d have something in the tank.

    Austin Rivers needs to freaking play more man, Russ was playing horrible and he shoulve stayed on the bench, and kept Rivers on the court.

    Well. the Portland Trailblazers seem to be our Seattle Supersonics. Let LAL take care of that problem.

    I would rather win Thursday night anyway.

    You can tell he still isn't back to himself. I feel he isn't attacking as much as he was back in Jan -March stretch.

    I hate, hate losing to inferior teams. Makes my blood boil. Covington 2-11 from 3 with 6 points, Westbrook 5-12 from the line and some terrible mid-range shots put up late that completely stalled any momentum we had going. Harden even had a chance to be the hero a few times, not today. If you missed this one, consider yourself lucky.

    Wish Harden would have demanded the ball there.

    Blazers roster is really good. Gary Trent Jr. has become a very dependable player.

    On the Rockets side, we leaned on Jeff Green to score 20+ for us, this was just gambling on the 3 pt line.

    The only thing I'm going to criticize Harden on is his inability to use the right hand.

    I think constantly playing center is affecting RoCo's 3 point shots. Quite a few of them were just short. That tends to happen with fatigue.

    MDA shoulda pulled a McHale. The bench probably could've won that.

    I def trusted rivers tonight over westbrook.

    Yeah for sure but atleast he continues to show he’s reliable. That will be big down the road. He has a solid ceiling with very capable nights like this

    Yep. It’s not like he was hot from mid range, and there was no ball movement. It was terrible shot selection on a critical possession.

    Another catastrophic defeat against a team where Carmelo Anthony is a starter. Simply pathetic. Another defeat against a team with a negative record. One more. The same old story...
