    Hey for all of you saying Melo should come off the bench, you may want to watch this

    No thread is ever complete without someone bitching about how it shouldn't exist in the first place. I admire the sheer righteousness that prompts people to care about such things.

    He said PG, Melo, and Westbrook all demand double teams. If that's so, Adams should be scoring 100 a game on open dunks.

    I don’t think I said they wouldn’t ever struggle. I think I just said they would finish top 3 or 4 in the west.

    You thought it was crazy that some people thought we'd do better than OKC.

    They will suffer with bad luck just like we did last year. Actually, its serves them right to suffer.

    Still do. Seasons are very long, obviously. Injuries, easy stretches of games, tough road trips. It will all even itself out. Chemistry is SUPER important, but overall talent will eventually win out.

    I was surprised how bad Adams looked defensively against us. People on this board have always talked very highly about him. Maybe it was just a bad game but he did not protect the rim very well.

    I would take Paul George in a heartbeat. Realistically, I bet Melo could be had very cheaply.

    I am not so sure Presti will give anyone away cheaply. If he did that now after gutting their bench he would get roasted. He is sticking this out and will hope to add players this summer. Although he could lose PG and Melo ....and get fired in the process. (didn't he give up their picks too? )

    If they don't even make the playoffs, I could see both players walking in the offseason.
