give it to him! Roy was great but come on. They let George Karl’s bitch kid wear it in preseason.

Credit to Olshey here. Melo gonna win sixth man of the year wow.

 

[B-Roy]

Melo sounds like he expects to end games.

as he should. I don’t really see him on the bench late in games unless it’s out of a timeout and it’s a defensive possession in a close game. Hopefully Stotts actually rotates him in those situations.

Did Nas really put on 22lbs of muscle? Pics?

When's the last time we had a legit bench gunner? Not just a Patty Mills [edit: chucker] type or sporadic contributor like Will the Thrill, but someone who could attack defenses in multiple ways and requires game planning for. Early Z-Bo, maybe? Rudy, perhaps.

If Carmelo is fresh at the end of games, from having only played 20 minutes or so, he's a huge asset for those final possessions when the defense has to cover all the primary weapons.

At this stage, I'd say he's embraced Portland more than Roy did. #7 is Carmelo's, as far as I'm concerned.

I don't know if he should or shouldn't. But I do know there will be games where he's not playing well enough to end games. I hope his ego can handle it.

No silly, it was only 21 lbs.

 

[Scalma]

Man I still can’t get over that Blevins signing lolll. Should’ve just signed CJs bro instead. He can at least play somewhat.

[Driew]

Well it was a good season....

 

[BBert]

Undefeated

 

[Scalma]

I wonder how games will be presented. Will every arena just have a setup like in the bubble?

 

[Scalma]

Bye Jaylen

Inject it right into my veins

Did they re-open the practice facility? I know Melo only got braids either yesterday or two days ago.

This Harden drama has been funny, not gonna lie.

“yeah, I’ll show up, or not lol”

 

[BlazerBeav]

Zach Collins is not having a good run of things.

Gonna speculate. Sorry, HIPAA.

Total guess, but based on activity on social, gut instinct, and what Quick said here. It's not:
- Zach
- Nurk
- Melo
- Derrick Jones (already had it this summer)
- Dame (was live from IG in his gym yesterday)
- CJ (really active on social)
- Giles (was driving around in his Toyota yesterday, on IG)
- Blevins (video with Dame's kid on his IG)
- Ant
- Covington
- Kanter
- Trent
-Little

It's one among:
Hood/Elleby

Neither has posted anything the past 4 days anywhere.

thanks Columbo

 

[illmatic99]

thanks Columbo

this is what qualifies as investigative journalism these days, heh

 

[Scalma]

Looks like the facility is open again, even if they’re not practicing until tomorrow. No way you sit on this footage!

I'll be honest. Braided Melo makes me like Melo.

And Terry is rebounding for him, crazy. Head coaches don't do that

Which is exactly why he will be in games down the stretch.

Well, the team just posted pictures and Hood was in the pictures shooting.

Hood
Melo
DJJ
CJ
Kanter

Covington just posted a bunch of random inspirational quotes on his story. People who do that are usually not in a good state of mind.

My guess is actually Little. We've heard literally nothing about Little since about a month ago and there was never pictures of Little at the practice facility. No one from the team has mentioned Little in any interviews.
