Saw a comparison on twitter about lamelo comparing him to devin booker before he got help. While that's its own whole conversation I would simply ask the people that dont think lamelo is a "winning player" if Devin Booker was a winning player or not when his team wasnt good.
That’s what LaMelo Ball has to do , attack the basket in clutch moments. Continue to work on his one on one game to be able to get his shot off.
Miles Bridges had a bad shooting night but he came through with the 3-point shot and defensive rebound
Brandon Miller was probably tired trying to Guard Jayson and Jaylen so he had nothing on offense to give
They need to go all in and let the younger guys play. Bring Hayward off the bench but have in there in the 4th quarter
Bridges was a dog defensively in the last 4 minutes.
Lamelo who was exactly who we needed him to be. He needs to be the guy and Bridges needs to be the enforcer.
Let's go Hornets!!
We need Alex Caruso
Doug nobody in the nba right now carries a team what are you talking about even lebron traded everybody for AD the NBA is to talented to win by yourself you need a team with at least one more all star everybody who attacks lamelo all they do is help the organization get bail out on how the team was built and there decisions.
Melo has always been a winning player….go back to high school
As soon as the game was over, I went straight to that video and trolled the mess out of it 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀
Miles changes this team. He was the heart of the Hornets before his suspension and time away.
Miles is a grown up. His aggression decision making and strength allow him to affect the game. And he can do it all off-ball.
He's the dog in the yard when you're looking to open the gate. You know that he's an imposition as soon as you step on the grass.
This Hornets team is a different team
That was a satisfying win. Karma is a bitch, Tatum. Respect your opponent next time
Also what’s gonna happen when terry comes back. Are you sending Brandon miller back to bench and stun his growth.
Lamelo Ball is playing AllStar basketball. We're watching him grow right in front of our eyes. Miles makes this team totally different. When Terry comes back we're going to surprise a lot of teams. This game may have turned the entire season around. We should beat Washington Thursday and have a little win streak going.

Miles Bridges steal was way Bigger than the shot 🏀🎉

I love watching league pass on a Monday. Why JT dissing me?
Thank you Doug finally somebody says the quiet part loud.. Lamelo is flashy and confident and it’s become a negative to be that type of player now.. When it was celebrated in the 80’.. Don’t actually look at the numbers just be mad he isn’t getting the W instead of that being a team thing.. smh
Say what you want about Miles, but his return is changing the team.
The team is good on paper. They're just very young and none of them have a winning pedigree. I think they should bring in a quality veteran or two to help them navigate through the growing pains. Isaiah Thomas, Boogie Cousins, Dwight Howard (I know, I know), John Wall, Blake Griffin. All of those guys will get whatever the veteran minimum salary is
I would like to thank the New York fans for chanting in house a couple nights ago. Y’all lit a fire in this team
To be honest get LaMelo Ball a Better coach , better General Manager and surround him with more Veteran 3 and D guys with playoff experience
Not a Journeyman Veteran
Everybody not named LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Miles Bridges, Mark Williams need to trade soon. I wish a lineup LaMelo, Miller, Miles, Siakam, Williams and alot of cheap veterans
Let's go miles
Lamelo's cooking right now 💯🦍💪🏿
Tatum literally outscored all the other celtic starters combined. If that was Charlotte's game plan, it worked 💯
Great game! Could other "winning players" do better than Melo with this team, coaches, etc?
I was there screaming my head off I was in sea of green every single person I was around were Celtics fans and they were good sports

It's funny hearing Branson trying to address the detectors without implicating himself. All of the bad faith takes on LaMelo have been repeated by Branson in the past. Now he's trying to not eat crow.
Mello is is a winning player if he has a decent team around him miles bridges is a big help
