Would love to see it. Lot of people making a fuss out of the Cavs, but GS isn't exactly looking like an unbeatable force this year...

The Warriors main problem is the fact that they have been really sloppy with the ball this year.

You're not going to beat anybody when you turn the ball over 25 times.

That's right. Draymond hasn't been up to his usual ball slapping and kicking this year. Must be savings those technicals for the postseason.

Wouldn't want to be suspended for and NBA Finals games, would he?

Can we speak about Paul George here too

He has been terrific in his Scottie Pippen role with RW.

His crossover & 3 on Durant, his dunk on Zaza...what a great game

George is so under appreciated. He’s playing at a really high level and when he and Russ are on this team is a contender

Reaching back into vintage 2009-2010 Pacer form.

This team is capable of beating anybody in the playoffs if they're firing on all cylinders. Very tough individual matchups.

westbrook will always play mad vs the warriors... this is gonna be good

More 2013-style, as PG was in the 2010 draft class.

Thunder are great when they feel motivated, which is about half of the time. If they match up in the first round against the Spurs or even the Wolves, I don't know if the Thunder will show enough discipline to get out of the first round of the playoffs. If they do get out of the first round of the playoffs, curious to see if they would match up against the Rockets or the Warriors (who both currently have the same amount of losses).

They need to trade Melo and Adams to be a Better team....

LOL that's ridiculous

Adams has been GREAT for them, arguably their best player with RW & sometimes PG-13.

Melo is no more the player he used to be, and I prefer the starting five with Jerami Grant - that said I think he can still produce some key points when starters are on the bench.

I agree, Adams is extremely important to that team. Melo on the other hand, just sucks. Trading him for bench depth would help the Thunder alot

tjforce · 02-07-2018, 11:04 AM

The idea of the Thunder needing to trade Adams might be the worse take in this thread.

Man, that must've really hit a soft spot for you lol. Sorry that Melo sucks.

He's got 6 inches and 60lbs on me and 16 years more NBA experience than I do so that would be really sad if he couldn't beat me 1 on 1

KD has burner twitter accounts and it looks like Melo might have at least one burner account on blowout.

You think $500 PayPal even gets Carmelo's agent on the phone? Probably not even the agent's secretary. You gotta come bigger than that balla!

Dumbest rationale for why an NBA player is terrible - EVER! Melo is GARBAGE! Has he always been garbage? No. Can he still light up the scoreboard every now and then? Yes. Can he beat ANY Blowoutcards.com member in a game of 21, spotted 10? DUH! That doesn't make him a 'not-garbage' NBA player. His shooting is terrible, his basketball IQ is terrible, his defense is terrible, his body language is terrible. Most would think I'm talking about Westbrook, but I'm not. I'm talking about Melo.

Last night's game was a perfect example. RW, George, Adams are killing it! Dominating the Warriors (even with Durant going to the line 13 times in the half). Then Melo feels like he needs his and starts chucking crap to see if it sticks (could be talking about Westbrook too sometimes, I agree). But, he's missing shots and his body language and energy start to show it. GS starts dipping into the lead. Melo gets hurt and the Thunder roll to victory! That was a great team win and Melo was not part of it.

Melo is garbage!

Melo, yes. Adams, hell no. He's accepted his role and RW/George are getting him more involved, especially early. That guy is awesome! Go New Zealand!

He has never known what he's talking about, just ignore him. Though if the team could get anything of value for Melo I'd be happy with that.

I agree! ANYTHING of value, even a fruit basket. But a BIG fruit basket. For the team.

I still have NO idea what the thought process behind bringing Melo in. Seriously. Is he the 3rd 'star' that would put them over the top? Did ANYONE pay attention to that guy in New York?

I loved the hustle and grit that everyone played with last night. That energy is unsustainable every game though and that's why they lose to inferior teams.

People have short attention spans. Melo was a great player, he's just getting old and isn't what he once was.
