Eastley

It's completed as far as I understand.

A lot of Friday night guys back tonight

Moussa Valuble Player

Moussa is growing more and more every game. We really have found something. I love how hard they are playing too.

Mich_Mercer

Eastley

Mich_Mercer

Lamelo's left ankle got landed on. Lol

He went to the locker room and has not returned to bench

Mark is the curse

I'm happy to see Zaire putting it together

GoBobcats24

I guess they aren't allowed to mention it on the broadcast

First mention of Lamelo in 2nd quarter, no mention of being in Locker room since 1 minute left in 1st haha

spectre

Josh Green plays damn good D I just wish he’d look to his O more

You can just see Moussa putting it all together

meloFan

Tidjiane has such a good body, but he should learn some bully ball from Miles

If he would drive more to the basket, he would be such a force

He could develop to be a Giannis, if he focuses on that toughness and drives, he shouldn't take the out with the missed 3pters

spectre

I totally missed Lamelo getting hurt

GoBobcats24

Evidently everyone did but me

spectre

Collins is talking like he missed it too

GoBobcats24

Our own broadcast has no idea he is in the lockerroom

spectre

You should be on the payroll lol

meloFan

Given where we our in the season, there is no reason for Lamelo to play 10mins in the 1st Qt

Mich_Mercer

I mean…. But I’d like him to play in the 2nd.

spectre

I dunno the guys need to compete. They were ecstatic over that win vs SA

Melo needs to prove he play 38-40 min a night

Mich_Mercer

But totally… I’m fine with him playing big minutes. It helps the team develop. That said… is he hurt? Is he pooping? lol

Eastley

Usually the longer we go without knowing, the worse the news is

Mich_Mercer

Like he was just in the game for almost a whole quarter. Did he hurt it walking to the bench?

DeadlySwarm

No Melo means we lose by 20+

At least the guys play hard regardless of who is on the court

spectre

Ok I ran it back. I didn’t see any particular thing but the last minute or so he was in something was off. He was moving stiffly and it appeared at one point he was stretching out his right knee. He never really brought it up that last minute but always passed ahead

When he came off it looked like he headed straight for the locker room

I rewound to the point of apparent injury. At the 3:30 point of the 1st. Looked like a missed step on a drive. Right knee I think. He was working it around on the court and seemed to favor it.

Some guys are just unlucky with injuries. Guess you can call it injury prone. He seems to be one of those.

DeadlySwarm

Time to cut ties with Melo? I know Lamelo is a great player but when he can't be counted on to play more than half of a season what good is his talent?

meloFan

Sure, do you think Nico Harrison should take the lead in facilitating the deal too?

spectre

Nah. What we getting as an alternative? We’re not even competing for a playoff run yet. I’d say in a yeat or so after we cash in thos FRP then may be the time to think of that

OR we could offer him up to the Lakers…

Its the ankle

Moussa!

I love how he attacks the rim

DeadlySwarm

Melo is prime time when he plays but damn it to hell he can't stay on the court long enough to help the team or enjoy watching. I guess a good consolation prize would be to have us win the draft lottery. If not win the lottery than at least have us in the top three in a deep draft and have us not reach on a long term project like we did Tidjaune Salun

spectre

It trips me out how so many are ready to write off TJ. He was drafted as a project and hes18

he may bust but no one knows that today

meloFan

I don't think he is a bust. Hornets need to open their wallets, and get him a 1-1 coach for development. He has the frame to be a Giannis

He just needs to unlock the "grown man strength"

+1 1
spectre

Who was the guy we were rumored to want to trade up for? The rockets pick?

Holland?

Sheppard

Moussa has 20 lol

DeadlySwarm

I am not writing off Tidjaune but picking him where we did was a mistake. We could have drafted a player more ready to contribute where we drafted him.

I left the game early but I see we fought back. Seems to be par for the course getting down by a large deficit and lose by a respectable score. I am seriously disappointed in the way Miles played though.

No Lamelo and Miles not showing any leadership and we lose by 20+

Miles totally sucked tonight and showed he is nothing without Melo.
