This is going to be so overhyped lol. Melo might not even be a top 30 player currently. He and George both play SF. All 3 are ball dominant. They'll win a good amount of games but I don't find this team scary.



shite, my bad, he’s not even top 100 at this point.

What? No.

[Roberson] will have a great year with lots of space to slash and such.

Also excited about Adams being able to wreck havoc in the paint as people won’t be able to just jam the paint anymore. He suffered greatly from horrible spacing last year.


Not that it matters because of how bad Melo was but nailed both of these predictions.

I know you’re a troll so it doesn’t matter, but posters might actually take you seriously if you actually ate crow when you were wrong which you are frequently.

I mean your disappearing “I didn’t watch the game” act last year was an all timer for the MSB.

I have the most accurate takes here by a long shot when you look at all of them and not focus on the misses.

It’s weird the amount of validation you seek from anonymous message board users over shite that hardly matters.

You thought your sqaud would be good. I knew they wouldn’t. FYI I didn’t bump the thread. I don’t need to. Everyone knows my take. If I bump a thread every time I made a good pick it would be a weekly thing.

Well you predicted they’d be 4th seed so you had them as good. And pretty sure I didn’t make a prediction. In fact I discussed that all of the teams who made big moves had made big risks. It’s worked out for some and not for others.

It wasn’t hard to see the team with Russ wouldn’t win as much as expected. It’s his MO. he don’t play winning basketball.

You do realize that Melo really falling off and losing their best defender midway through the season was the reason things didn’t play out better right?

Like can we have an actual basketball discussion here?

Ok so no, you are incapable of having an actual basketball dialogue; got it.

Thunder: 16-0 from Dec. 1 to late January (when he went down) with Roberson in the lineup. Yup, so dumb that take is.

Yeah would have been much better had he been more assertive I agree. Was so in game 5 and want HAM and nearly stole one back tonight doing the same.

Disagree that you can't win with Russ. The problem is from an organizational standpoint. They became a good team through the draft and they abandoned that mentality with the signings of George and Melo. Those guys were never gonna make OKC a contender.

Disagree about George. That was a great addition.

I just think nobody will win with Melo. Dude just has bad mojo. I am a hawks fan and we are one of the saddest franchises in the NBA and Melo is one of the two NBA players I would NEVER want on my team (JR smith being the other). And FWIW OKCs problem (besides Melo) is that their bench can't fricking score. They are like the cavs in the sense that it takes a huge game from either RW or PG13 for them to beat good teams.
