No posts in here about Utah but plenty on Melo. So this thread says otherwise.

Go get your rocks off.


A rookie cooking a "super team" will always get my respect. The fans here rooting for Melo and OKC are hilarious to me. Utah deserves it way more.

Like I said. Get your rocks off. You’re not posting on the Jazz. You’re going in on Melo. Have at it.

It’s Knick karma. Then Melo will get his ring. :nonono:

Why are you so concerned about what people are posting about in a post game thread? There’s plenty of posts trashing Westbrook, Donovan and even George.

We just witnesses why Durant got on down. Westbrook is a great individual talent. The other two used to be. Cant just blend individuals that have no concept of team. Sure, they'll win some games, but this mix wasn't poised to win nothing when it mattered.

i think a dominate inside player could match up with him well. but it's hard for other guys who want to handle the ball to get into a rhythm. okc has looked good this year when those guys are hitting the 3. because that's the shot you're mostly getting with russ. and when they're not....well.

This has more to do with Russ then coaching, Melo, PG, lack of depth or whatever other issue wants to come up with. You can't win with that guy

This Oladipo dick riding after having one very good year is laughable. Way too many fans these days are prisoners of the moment and don’t appreciate a body of work. Must be a different generation I guess.

RealGm doesn't define me. I'm over social media talking about the Jazz and the NBA Playoffs as a whole.
