Steph Curry comes to my mind, not Grant Hill.
Nick smith and bouknight were interesting in garbage time last night. Rather see both of them get more run after lamelos injury as well.
Great show 💯
Honestly I agree with yall on the lamelo ball situation. I think the worst trade the hornets made was trading malik monk. I mean the players keep getting hurt, at time 5 players out with injuries. I think Cody Martin hasn't played in 2 years.
Availability is kind of important
I wouldn't expect to see Melo until next year, like mid/late Jan.
We need to cut Gordon Haywood
Never use Spencer Percy again that dude is a complete joke.
He needs to relearn how to run and cut
If the hornets can somehow manage to make a trade for Zach Lavine without trading Lamelo, Miller, Bridges, and Mark, they need to make it. Zach Lavine would make this team a playoff caliber team and help keep this team afloat while Lamelo is out. Top 5 pick be damned, that's not going to help us just how its not helping the Pistons. We need to do what the kings did. Go out and make a deal for a star
Melo is going to miss 6 – 8 weeks at best.. Serious ankle sprains take 6 months to heal and im not confident that Charlotte's front office will figure it out..
Lottery team again. No viable back up point guard.
Lol this guy Melo is always injured smh… He will never be in the All NBA let alone an All Star at this point. He's in the same category as Zion, Kyrie, Rose. Talented, but always hurt and not available. Sucks for the Hornets. I do not see a positive outlook on this kid's future trajectory. Things can only get worse at this point.
This Melo injury is heartbreaking. With his play the last month and the team winning 2 in a row I was starting to get the good vibes back like in the last Borrego winning season. Then boom
Hornets don't suck but the coach does
Melo needs to see Aaron Rodger’s Dr fr with that new max extension he got
Is the lamaelo hardware a permanent thing or is it suppose to come out at some point?
Brandon Miller is untouchable in trade discussion! He is a natural shooter (already an efficient scorer even as a rookie!) and his athleticism is very underrated
Great thing we prepared for any extended injury to Lamelo and have depth with backup point guards. Charlotte sports good.
It's the SHOES anyone who plays ball knows its the shoes when you constantly roll your ankle….I've held his shoes very narrow and the outer midsole is solid as a ROCK and had a 90 degree angle. So as you start to roll over there is no give or cushion to slow the roll or take your weight off the ankle as it rolls …..so it will literally thrust your shoe on its side completely rolling your ankle with it. Does anyone stop and think has Lamelo ever had ankle problems before Puma and the refs letting teams foul the crap out of him with no calls. Which has only enticed defense to play harder more physical defense on him to try and stop him leading to more and worse injuries. Added to the situation you are always more likely to roll an ankle in the first 6 months to year after a major ankle injury its still weak. This is nothing like Grant Hill he didn't break it again…its JUST A SPRAIN.
There was pay’s where Bouknight passed up a wide open pass to a shooter, can’t do that if he wants minutes
