Brandon Miller CURSES OUT Hornets Teammates For Not Getting Back on D & Not Being Serious!
Welcome back to NBA Cinema so today I want to talk a little bit about the Charlotte Hornets and their rookie Brandon Miller he’s been on the tear uh although the Hornets haven’t played well he’s been able to find his footing in the NBA and really is playing nice you
Know and really trying to take over a leadership role on this young team you have people like miles Bridges that’s not going to be back currently in trade talks right now but certainly you know almost certainly won’t be back next season and we saw the video that came
Out with lamel the other day when Steve Clifford got ejected from the game you saw him and a group of Charlotte Hornets players laughing over on the bench which you know drew some eye from the media and they weren’t really too thrilled about uh the message that that send so
You know Brandon Miller we saw him looking very upset on the sideline you know after the team lost while everybody else was laughing and having fun didn’t mind being down 25 all that and so you know when you’re a high draft pick a lot of times you end up in a culture like
This and you know when when you have a good franchise a lot of these pieces have moved around uh in the future for you to start to turn that around but I really want to highlight a few things today one thing we’re going to look at
Is some of the things from the other day first let’s check out Steve Clifford as he’s talking to the referees you know he’s upset about a call or lack thereof and he was throwing out the game now you look at Melo and those guys over on the bench that’s what they were responding
To they weren’t randomly laughing but they were laughing at coach you know for and coaches up there standing up for the team so a lot of people didn’t think that was a good look now we see Brandon Miller clearly clearly upset about the outcome of the game uh and not just the
Outcome of the game because you can live with people giving maximum effort you just can’t live with guys being content being satisfied with losing the same way now we’re going to look at what he said to them tonight after he made a basket and he ended up being the one back in
Transition to contest the shot let’s check it out missed all nine all right breaks the SE for Brandon Miller he has one free throw that’s his first field goal and the his first field goal and the Pacers immedately the Yeah man so I wanted to highlight that today
Because Brandon Miller I remember coming into the draft there was so much to say you know Malika Andrews was questioning his character and naturally you know In fairness to everyone that was questioning his character I had my reservations a little bit cuz when you know a young mother dies and you are
Around that incident and we don’t gather all the facts um you know you just have some skepticism you can’t say one way or the other you know how a guy is or isn’t when something like that has happened and the loss of life uh has taken place but um just pertaining to this
Basketball thing right here he’s showing more character and Leadership you know since Scary Terry left than anyone on the team he expects his play to equal wins and he expects the intensity level you know to match his and he’s trying to compete on both ends of the floor so for
Him to drive down the lane make that nice finish and be the first one back and and not it won’t he shot a three on that play and he was the first one back he was landed up in traffic and he was the one that got down that made them you
Know pass it too long or deflected the the the the pass or whatever you know what I’m saying when he got back on defense so I look at that and I commend him and it’s a shame that Charlotte doesn’t have a culture where he has like
A leader that he can lean on you know cuz naturally a rookie comes in they’re a little passive as far as you know being vocal with the team and stuff but for him to have to do this in game and we saw his demeanor after it seemed like no one
Cared it it shows that the culture absolutely 1,00% needs to change in Charlotte you probably going to have to get rid of some pieces that people don’t think you need to get rid of and I’m just going to leave it at that you know there’s a lot of empty stats up there in
Charlotte and I don’t even know if it’s just that but you look around the league you see a team like Houston On The Rise you see OKC you know um had acquired Chris Paul some time ago got some picks got Shay gilis who the Char who the Charlotte
Hornets drafted on draft night and traded to the clippers for Miles bridges in the first place so that’s a whole different story for another day but they got Shay gilis and started to build around him now fast forward you got Josh giddy you got Jaylen Williams you got
Chad hom green so you looking around teams like OKC has went to the finals had KD Russ James Harden and all them you know took a little bit of a step back acquired draft picks and now they’re good again before Charlotte is good one time and and that’s you know
The frustration right there at some point when you have all these picks you know you you need to eventually they’ve had a top 10 top 12 pick and some number twos and threes over the years you know whether it was the Bobcats or the Hornets and they they just did not
Deliver you know front office not delivering players not deliver delivering players not being developed more importantly and you know a lot of that was under Michael Jordan’s regime but looking at Brandon Miller I think that’s encouraging if you are Charlotte’s Hornet Charlotte Hornets fans people saying um you know keep he
Just him and lamelo but lamelo got to show me a little bit uh more man and and show that he’s not just a transition point guard and that his impact on the game as a point guard means something he has to stay healthy stay on the floor um
Because you done paid him a certain amount of money it’s time for the team you know to at least look like they perennial playin team right you know what I’m saying at least they’ve been to the playin a couple times and got ran off the floor but lamelo is starting to look
Like he’s not a leader and I don’t even know if that’s fair to him he may be better with a different culture you know a different team but you know it looks like Brandon Miller has whatever that is you know as far as a player and wan to
Compete and win at the highest level you got to get guys that want to win you look at Houston they brought in some vets um you know Detroit hasn’t hasn’t done anything yet but a lot of the other teams that was down they at least compete you can be a bad team that
Compet the Charlotte Hornets a lot of times they don’t compete as a team it’s okay not to have the talent to win many basketball games but you have some competitive guys it’s not okay to have professionals out there that’s just content playing individual basketball trying to get some stats you know um
Don’t necessarily want to be with the team one foot in one foot out uh that that’s not cool and so to see Brandon Miller called him on that man it really to see the Rook talking like that you know what I’m saying shows the culture of the team and some of the improvements
They need to make going forward so I want to know your thoughts about the Charlotte Hornets who do you guys think they should keep who should they let go obviously miles Bridges is looking to leave you know they were trying to do that when he first got reinstated but we
Going to see man we going to see I want to know your thoughts in the comments about all this don’t forget to like share and subscribe till next time peace

He belongs in prison.
Ask for a trade
Prime Larry "Grandmama" Johnson and Alonzo Mourning wouldve checked all of them on the bench!
Let them boys do what they want!! They play the Lakers tomorrow, after that they can worry about playing hard…
Smh the Hornets are a complete mess , I hope they get it together under new ownership . They should build around Brandon Miller as their guy , I believe he will be a better NBA player than Lamelo , who gets stats but is so inefficient & overall ineffective. I’d trade Melo now while the value is still high & continue to build around Miller.
He tired of being a loser and around losers. U see Lamelo Ball laughing…he having a blast, as long as he getting paid, he happy. Lamelo fine with racking up a bunch of points, getting flashy highlights, getting his money and being a LOSER
Leadership starts with coaching, that should be a moment where the coach bench some players for a few minutes to make a point. The coach isn't in anyone face and I see players making the same mistakes.
I also feel like they are making these mistakes so their trade value goes down and teams back off them.
They're lucky their contract is guaranteed. When money is in question, thats when people get serious. They always play hardest during contract year. Guarantee if they got reduced salary or were threatened moving down to G League theyd be a little more serious
The Hornets are just a pathetic trash franchise. They're a losing organization. Jordan sold the team and got out hecause he was a terrible owner. When LaMelo's free agency comes up, he's gone.
Yes trade everyone except Brandon Miller. Steve Clifford needs to part ways why is he still there ? LaMelo is with that IG model he don't care. And get rid of the horrible logo and go back to original logo
That does not make you a Leader. He is the fastest on the team. He should be the first one back. The Coach is the Leader.
Him and Melo are the 2 best picks in the history of the Hornets.
HIRE MARK JACKSON!!!
Malika asked simple question. The obvious elephant in the room. Basic journalism that you would learn at the high school newspaper. Black men are strange.
Great job pointing him his character and how important it all is to building foundation and culture!! Which is TOUGH these days because truly YOUNG and PROVEN NOTHING DONE NOTHING but getting paid better than the top 25 GREATS of all time…..leaves huge holes in motivation and purpose!!
All they want to do is shoot 3s and do nothing else. They don't play defense
AAU babies are not fully developed and this is your results
Brandon Miller is gonna be a problem.He has that winning mentality and all star potential.Get this kid on a competitive team ASAP.
