Not having Gobert in is what changed the game. That b******t foul on Gobert when Melo shot that jumper totally changed the game.

Hood will come up really huge for the Cavs at least once these playoffs. I have to admit, I thought he'd have a much larger impact. His three point shot went to s**t

I'll do that trade again bc Crowder was a total b***h in Cleveland.
Hood is having tough time adjusting in the middle of the season. He has been disappointing but at least he's not acting like a b***h. Crowder and IT kept crying about Boston trading them the whole time.

I think its because they both knew they couldn't excel in Lue's crappy style of offense. Both guys are system players and going to a team that likes to play ISO ball isn't gonna do them any good. I think thats why Jae was able to fit in so quickly with the Jazz. Stevens' offense isn't the same but its pretty similar to Snyder's and its easier for guys like him to do well in it.

You're probably right but imo it was really unprofessional. I mean IT wanting Boston to honor him lol - that was dumb. Crowder was playing horrible on both ends. The effort was just not there.
He's a good fit in Utah though and Hood has been but at least I don't have to hear him whine about getting traded.

Westbrook at 45 pts, George had 34. Next highest was Melo at 7 lol.
Better yet, Westbrook at 39 shots, George had 26. The rest of the team (8 players) had 24.

Westy probably had to ice his arm MLB style after the game, hoisting it that much.

I remember Melo when he won a National Championship at Syracuse, he had bounce and was awesome. After so many years in the NBA he's a spot up shooter that hits a few and then goes invisible. George has the total package, can Westbrook pull off a Jordan for OKC, I doubt it.

Even at his best, Melo was a selfish ball-stopper. One of the most overrated players in NBA history..benefited big from playing in NY.

OKC is so much better without Melo on the floor.
Utah will take it in 6 though.

I'm getting the feeling the Warriors won't have much trouble with the Pelicans. I'd like to see Anthony Davis take off on the big stage. How good are the 76ers? Are they already there or a year away.

This is the foul that changed the game. Great call by the officials.
