The only ring Melo will ever see is the one the condensation on his drink makes on a surface.

I feel the same way....


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.


he hasn't been able to hit the 3 for like 2 months now


Yeah 35% is way too low for him. Went 2-4 last game which kind of illustrates my point. He actually shot well and nobody showed up. It’s far from a given you’ll get that good shooting again this series.

Utah is good. But their 1st round playoff opponent is making them look really really good.

I don’t think I need to see any more OKC basketball for the playoffs. Get it done Utah

You actually called it way before season started. I thought you were on drugs when you said we should draft Mitchell

I just realized they have the B-Team on commentary tonight. Ian Eagle belongs in Brooklyn calling Nets games. Not in the playoffs.

it's not just defense. outside of pg in game 1, rubio/mitchell/ingles are scoring better than the okc 3.

I can't stand the guy to be honest. Especially when he calls Jets games.

Thank you. That's what Im saying. This dude sounds like he's trying to hard but still comes out stale just like the nets organization. Boring af. Yes network too.
