    You obviously haven't been reading the Rockette forums.
    Those fans believe they are an auto-lock for a ring if Melo joins CP3 + Har_en.

    If this was five years ago, I wouldn't disagree that they'd have a good shot, but Paul wasn't able to do anything with the Clippers. Melo didn't do anything with the Knicks. I'm not sure why they think putting those three together will be so different.

    I agree. I've also said before that the Warriors' 16-1 playoff record this year looks way more dominant than it likely would have had the opposition been at full strength. The Blazers loss of Nurkic probably cost them winning two games against the Warriors. The same is true with the Spurs' loss of Leonard. I'm not saying that the Warriors would have lost either series, but I suspect both of them would have been 4-2 battles rather than the cake walks they appear to have been by the sweeps in the record book.

    Not necessarily. If you listen to Woj he said the reason Melo opened up to Houston was because Chris Paul was traded there. The team USA buddies are tight and Paul has a big hand in recruiting Melo. His word has more impact than say CJ or Dame's.

    Maybe if Dame was on the Olympic team and became buddies with PG/Melo etc. his word would have more pull. A stupid barometer for sure, but that seems like what you need to be doing in the era of the superfriends league.

    Listen you Portland hipster your city is so trash and old that you don't know nothing.
    I will list all the accomplishments of Har_en, CP3, and Melo who are undoubtedly future first ballot HoFers.
    You don't have three future HoFers and lose.
    Rockettes 2018 Champions. Book it.

    Rocket fans on cf.


    but yes I agree with you, unless there is an injury to KD or he reverts to the form he took when he blew the 3-1 lead. CP3+Har_en+Melo+Capela have as good of a shot at beating the Warriors as Portland does with Lillard+CJ+Nurk+Melo

    The only thing I like about Houston is you can purchase McMansions for pennies on the dollar (compared to what you'd get in Oregon).

    Completely agree. I lived in Texas and still have lots of family there and there's not a price high enough you could pay my family or I to move to Houston. It's the complete opposite of what we apprecaite here in the PNW. Just a huge hot pile of concrete and illiteracy.

    This is why I never took mixum serious. I always felt like he was a troll from another team and just enjoyed spending time fucking with you guys.

    By all means, though, please do get off on it.

    F the CF board.

    My first time there was a few years back. Got in about 8pm on a March evening. Just between an ice storm and some flooding. As my uber takes me into the city, the first thing I see in the skyline is that massive blue neon cross. We ended up on a route that took us past the Joel Osteen church (which is bigger than most stadiums). Had to request that my uber driver stop and take a quick pic of me in front.

    My only Houston experience was trying to get through on my Florida to Portland road trip last summer. Where I-10 goes through the city is just horribly fucked traffic wise. It was worse than when I had to drive through L.A. a couple of days later. I always laugh when people complain about the Portland traffic. Try getting around in that shit hole......

    So what I gather is that Melo wants to go to Houston or Cleveland but New York thinks we have the better assets to give for Melo where as Cleveland and Houston are offering assets that would basically keep Melo in New York unless he gives Portland a chance. So I mean, either come here or stay in New York, an organization that has shit on you.

    Nailed it. Cleveland had LeBron and Houston has Paul. Fuck Dwyane Wade, I guess.

    Could we trade for Wade to get Melo?
    Would that be worth it?

    That sounds extremely dirty. So much for Clutchfans' virtue.
