    If Melo will play like he did in the fourth quarter, passing and only taking a couple of bad shots then he's OK in the rotation. I hope that was something that was made clear to him and not just some fluke.

    I'll allow it. Sly is a Sacksville-Baggins for obvious reasons though!

    Traveling in a congested lane is the oldest superstar treatment in the book. Traveling like Harden does all by himself with the refs staring right at his feet before busting a three... that's something that I've only seen him get to do. Just gets to moon walk until he's out of his defender's reach. I really hope we can get him and that advantage.

    Cj obviously played well
    Dame had an off night IMO
    Jones played well despite his stats
    Simons looks much more comfortable out there on D.
    CJ needs to take the last shot when he is rolling. His mid-range shot is much better than Dames.

    This wasn't not a gather step. He shuffled his feet. He took no less than four steps.
