briantw Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 10 minutes ago, Relic said: That's pretty funny. However, i think Melo has a bounce back season. I could maybe see Chris Paul keeping him in check in a way Westbrook never could, but then again, all his comments at the end of the season don't really paint a picture of a guy looking to be a team player and stick in the NBA. And this is coming from someone who really thought Melo would be great in that third or fourth banana role like he is on Team USA. He had his shot this year and it was absolutely miserable. But maybe Chris Paul will be able to do something Westbrook was unable to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could say so, but like Rhom said, it was just a reference to Bridgewater facing the possibility of losing his leg. That’s freaky for a non-contact injury.

Worlds was just this past weekend. Apparently a friend of mine from high school was on the team (BFG) that won the mix world championship. Small world considering I didn’t even know the league existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperry Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 The Melo-Rockets thing is so bizarre. Rockets are all about 3s and layups. Melo is like the all time bad 2 point guy in history. Melo and D'Antoni do not get along. Melo doesn't seem remotely inclined to accept the reality of what kind of player he is now. Melo was not good shooting 3s last year, while getting ridiculously good open looks because of George and Westbrook. Melo turns 35 this year, meaning there is zero reason to expect an improvement or return to form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melo turns 35 this year, meaning there is zero reason to expect an improvement or return to form. I have never been a fan of Melo, as I never like any star player that plays bad defense. When people talk about "good Melo" at the Olympics, was he playing good defense too? Or was it just mediocre defense that other teams weren't talented enough to exploit? Because it seems to me like even if Melo wanted to turn himself into replacement for Trevor Ariza (with better offensive versatility), there's just no way that at 35 he could do it. He isn't particularly quick on his feet defensively, and the thought of him trying to run through screens to stay with Klay or Steph or Durant is just ridiculous. EDIT: Just the thought of Harden + Melo trying to defend the pick and roll should bring a smile to the face of any Warriors fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a semi-pro ultimate league, but nobody makes much money from it, at best it's a supplemental income. BFG was competing at the World Championship, which is not a pro event. So nobody there is getting paid anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhom Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I was flipping through channels today and landed on the Big 3 league again... I shit you not, Mahmoud Abdul Raouf was playing on the league leading undefeated team. I remember when he played college ball with Shaq and was called Chris Jackson! Announcer said he was 49.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 The Rockets lock up Capela on a five year, $90m deal.
