Melo injured by Charles Lee. Good grief man

Hornets law

Don't think I've ever seen that

cltblkhscoach

Of course not. Lol

Concussion protocol is what I heard

GoBobcats24

That's an absolute Lamelo type injury if I've ever seen one

Like I said, it's always freak things. All of a sudden this game becomes a grind

tnhornetsfan

That was a hard hit

powellrmp

What the hell happened

Why is Melo knocking into Coach Lee??

GoBobcats24

Back on the bench

So he's good

cltblkhscoach

Melo was going for a loose ball

GoBobcats24

Coming in the game next dead ball

powellrmp

Oh lawd

Mich_Mercer

Wait… I can’t watch. Lamelo hurt???

TheDorkLord

he's checking back in

GoBobcats24

Man we could have had him back in 2 mins ago

Mich_Mercer

Omg… thank goodness. I almost cried. I got my stream to work.

GoBobcats24

He sat at scorers table forever

cltblkhscoach

We were on our way to another strong first before he got hurt. Now it's a damn fight

Sion is hot and cold with his assertiveness. I think he defers a little too much at times

Mich_Mercer

Lamelo is the MVP of the league

Like… we completely fall apart without him

I hope we don’t lose this one…. It would kill all the vibes

cltblkhscoach

It's going to be one of those games

tnhornetsfan

Good to see LaMelo back. Let's get the mojo back now

powellrmp

I like Queen a lot. He was such a divisive player at the draft. I think Queen has the natural talent to make the adaptations he needs to be successful

Definitely limitations but I think he can become a better three point shooter. Sengun-lite

Ah I shouldn’t have said the “S” word. Man I wanted Sengun…sigh

Mich_Mercer

I wouldn’t mind having Duren as well… the allstar. lol

What a stupid trade that still is

100 2
powellrmp

Man I like herb jones too

Mich_Mercer

You’d think NO would be better. They have good young players

powellrmp

Oh boy

What I loved even less about that 30 foot shot from Melo was the transition defense. The lamelo ball experience: high highs and some low lows

cltblkhscoach

Man Colin sometimes smh

powellrmp

Wow hot garbage Colin

My stream is about 30 seconds behind the actual feed. I like it when you guys post so that I can prep myself to be disappointed before something stupid happens

I can start shaking my head before it even happens

TheDorkLord

this game is all kinds bad

powellrmp

Lots of short shots. I see tired legs

cltblkhscoach

Just need to get in rhythm

powellrmp

We’re missing threes that have been falling for the past month

cltblkhscoach

Similar to the Cavs game on ESPN. They came out much better after the half

TheDorkLord

feels like you just want to get to half and start over

powellrmp

Yeah just cut it to single digits and reset at half

Who said Tre mann reminds them of coffee black from semi pro? That made me laugh

:moose:

Dude is Rodman-esque. A rebounding savant

One of the most amazing things in the sport of basketball to me are guys who are rebounding savants. There’s just something about it that has always been mystifying to me

What was that call

Refs couldn't come to an agreement so they called a foul on both?

powellrmp

That was a truly bizarre call. Why would a blocking foul result in a two foul calls and a jump ball? Queen clearly shifted to try to draw a charge.

cltblkhscoach

Derik Queen hitting threes. Good grief

powellrmp

Just call the blocking foul and let the pelicans ask for a review.

cltblkhscoach

Good start

powellrmp

i was thinking before haltime: either we come out guns blazing and score 70 in the second half, or we keep sleep walking. no in between for this team

meloFan

we back

woodsy23

Time to lock in

meloFan

Or like Lee would like to say, Sit LaMelo down until 2 mins left /s

cltblkhscoach

These refs are garbage

100 2
powellrmp

that would be cool if the shot clock had a honeycomb kind of look to it

haha his hair. "he lost a bet" haha

TheDorkLord

yep, now I want to know about this bet

powellrmp

that seemed like a bad call on missi

didn't see the replay. but i'm glad we're getting a break from the bad refs

KON with the defense

Chef

Is melo advocating for a trade?

powellrmp

Melo. dude

TheDorkLord

Melo is still pissed at Coach Lee and is acting out. :rofl:

Chef

Kaulk putting in good minutes

100 1
cltblkhscoach

Melo!

tnhornetsfan

Don't remember last time he did that. Ankle must feel pretty good.

powellrmp

wow that was sick

just a feel good reminder: we have Sion and kalk for 4 years, both making 2.5m per year

Chef

Bridges needed 1 more dribble down

cltblkhscoach

Agreed Chef

powellrmp

it's great having four players log major minutes who shoot this FT%: 88, 83, 89, 88

Chef

Kaulk is showing out

powellrmp

Again, a bad call.

that's some big kalk basketball

Chef

Queen soft on that jumper needs to post

Channel his inner zbo

Mich_Mercer

Hate how they called that out of Lamelo

Chef

That was beautiful

powellrmp

incredible

Mich_Mercer

Kon is really good.

Chef

Oh Kon!

Love him

powellrmp

Kon has such a quick pure release, you almost have to face guard him

Mich_Mercer

I love how we pass the ball around. Everyone eats… which is why we’ve been playing so well.

Hate that Lamelo is out.

Gotta hold this

powellrmp

yeah me too. I was actually surpised to see Melo left in this long

cltblkhscoach

He deserves a rest for the stretch

powellrmp

hey Chef, that mid range jumper was for you

Mich_Mercer

Oh for sure. Just makes me worried when he’s out. Lol

Chef

Miller got fouled twice

Mich_Mercer

Miller is so smooth

he absolutely got fouled

Mich_Mercer

Had his arm

powellrmp

why don't they just look at a review instead of calling a jump ball

why make someone call a review when none of the refs know what to call. we have the power to review stuff. if the refs don't know, just say "let's review it"

GoBobcats24

We have fought so hard this game. Gotta close it out

100 1
Chef

Reviews are intolerable

GoBobcats24

Gotta survive another 1.5 mins without Lamelo

BMILLLLEEEERRRRRRR

That vibe I've been talking about is in here again today

Hive is alive

powellrmp

that's a high percentage shot by brandon miller

cltblkhscoach

Get it done with defense!

powellrmp

25 second half points for the pelicans

they could've found so many different names better than "pelicans"

that's hilarious. did Miles really just call out the play that NO was about to run??

Theres a fantasy basketball podcast i used to listen to. Josh Lloyd if you're familiar. He makes nicknames for a lot of players that are mostly funny or silly jokes.

He called Saddiq Bey the "depressed penis". Based on "sad-diq". And so every time I hear Saddiq Bey, I think "the depressed penis"

I want to hook up Kon with my local barber. He's gotta get his lineup right. It aint right

Mich_Mercer

We are winning all types of games. Indiana was in the finals last year. Why can’t we do that?

I honestly do not know how far fetched that is, if we keep playing this way. If we can stay healthy. These guys have lost 1 game together as starters

powellrmp

I just can't believe any of this is real

13-1 for our core 5 starting lineup

Mich_Mercer

It’s insane. I’m waiting for a let down.

But my hopes are super high right now.

cltblkhscoach

Enjoy the ride guys

woodsy23

Few days off couldn’t have come at a better time either

4

after we went down 22 points with 3:21 left in the second quarter, we outscored the pelicans 68-39 for the rest of the game. I almost posted at haltime, “we either continue to crater or we score 70 in the second half and win it.” But I didn’t want to jinx it.

5

One thing I appreciate about this win is that things weren’t going our way but we still figured out a way to pull it out. I think that’s the difference between great teams and good teams. Seeing Kalk and Grant give us big contributions off the bench is a nice thing too.

We have lots of ways to win a game. We don’t have to have 1 or 2 guys play out of their mind every night.
