OKC can't afford to be playing Melo in crunch time. Dude is killing them on D.

Re: 2017-18 NBA Playoffs - Week 2
When you watch Mitchell then you watch Westbrook it confuses you who's the vet and who's the rookie. Mitchell plays composed and under control yet still finds ways to make dazzling plays.
Jingles is in PG's head, he got him feeling some type of way

WB doesnt get that its not about necessarily stopping Rubio's scoring to beat Utah. That statement before game 4 alone demonstrates Mitchell as a rookie is a smarter and more mature player...already.

Watching Playoff Rubio makes me sick to my stomach knowing how many times we had the opportunity to bring him here.

100%. Too focused on Rubio scoring, but Rubio doesnt even need that many pts to score for Utah to win.

The league has a few guys on the Boris Diaw mold. Jokic is another one.

Mitchell I knew was very good, but he has incredible discipline and composure for a rookie. No obvious weaknesses as a rookie already.

Melo is too inconsistent w/ his shot.

They need to sit him. Keeping him out there when he’s this off doesn’t help the team or him

OKC would have been better off keeping Kanter, they could use him right now

Last game he shoots well, PG & WB don’t do their part as the top 2 options. Today they show up, Melo can throw if it in the ocean.

Utah is an elite defensive team. Houston doesn’t want smoke with them. Trust me on that.
