LaMelo was :fire: tonight. One thing I noticed in that clip. Raising his right ankle on his shot was less pronounced. Maybe it’s getting and feeling better. Let’s hope so.

I wish Brandon Miller would hit shots again. It’s super frustrating

There you go

And another. I guess I just had to post about him.

cltblkhscoach

Melo getting it going and opening up this lead

Mich_Mercer

Love to see that.

I want to blow them out to give me some better confidence in them.

Both and Lamelo couldn’t hit shots to past few games and we barely lost.

cltblkhscoach

If they take Coulibaly out we may get to blowout territory

meloFan

WAS could be solid next year with their young core Tre Young, and AD

cltblkhscoach

Good grief

meloFan

I said could, becuase how healthy the latter would be is questionable

cltblkhscoach

Damn B Mill

meloFan

We seriously need a backup PG

GoBobcats24

I would love to know what the hell happened to Tre Mann's ability to play basketball

cltblkhscoach

Defense is the issue right now. We scored 38

Mich_Mercer

We need Coby White or Sexton……

I hate this bench.

GoBobcats24

Kon with a rare tough start tonight

Mich_Mercer

I hope they get rid of the Allstar break next year… lol

GoBobcats24

How can we possibly be getting a shit whistle against the Wizards

cltblkhscoach

Tillman is not impressing me

GoBobcats24

This is one of those moments where Lee needs to realize that we need to get our guys in the game and take a 10pt lead into halftime

100 1
Mich_Mercer

I was about to say the same thing. Why even bring him in when we obviously needed a PG

I want to see them all play more minutes. Our guys all barely play 30 a lot games it feels like

Tillman is useless.

GoBobcats24

Does Hall have 2 fouls or something

cltblkhscoach

Hall was missing a lot of easy shots so I get it but sheesh

GoBobcats24

Put grant in at the 5 then

Mich_Mercer

Why isn’t Mcnealy dressed?

cltblkhscoach

Up 5 at the half. Need to get up double digits in the 3rd

Ankle injury I think

+1 1
Mich_Mercer

This looks more like us before the break.

We should win this game by 20 plus.

GoBobcats24

Letting this team hang around will haunt us, I agree coach. Gotta jump on them in the 3rd so that we can survive our 5 mins with the end of the bench in the 4th

rofl 1
cltblkhscoach

Damn it man Kalk shaken up

Damn Kon

GoBobcats24

Hope Kalk can come back but didn't look good

Same ankle he has had trouble with all year

cltblkhscoach

Moussa is back next game so it doesn't kill us but still smh

100 2
Mich_Mercer

At least Moussa is back next game…

GoBobcats24

I mean it does hurt us because we have no size

powellrmp

I couldn’t reproduce melo’s three point shot even if I tried

It’s like a one footed off balance, flat footed skip

If I tried shooting like that growing up, my coach would kill me

I think this stretch of game without miles Moussa and Coby white is the most important stretch of the season. We get to see who will step up, let the role players cook, and connect more as a team

cltblkhscoach

They have taken control here

More like Melo has taken control lol

Mich_Mercer

This is more like it! Glad to see Lamelo hitting these shots.

cltblkhscoach

This is insanity

fire 1
Mich_Mercer

We are killing these 3s

Hopefully we found out shots again

cltblkhscoach

11-12 from 3 in a quarter I think so lol

12-13

GoBobcats24

Welp coach we got out to a good start in the 3rd

rofl 1
cltblkhscoach

Up 21. Nice!

GoBobcats24

That is legitimately the first time I have seen Lamelo on fire and use that to set up all his teammates instead of heat checks

powellrmp

Melo had that one deep heat check three that was short. But man. It was juuust barely short

GoBobcats24

And I am pissed he didn't give me 3 more step backs that quarter :sob::sob::sob:

Need to have 4 good mins here to start the quarter

And then it's up from here, we get our guys back

Mich_Mercer

This is the kind of game Lee needs. He can sit Lamelo more in the 4th. lol

powellrmp

I’m so happy with how this team has played since the suspensions. Took care of business against ATL, with two close losses to two very good teams. With CLE being a team I’m picking to make the ECF

even Detroit, we were right there. The losses don’t negate the great stretch of basketball. They’re all great losses

Bilal Coulibaly has made some great defensive plays. I was super high on him during his draft class

100 1

GoBobcats24

Ok time to pull Kon

powellrmp

That’s super cool that TJ just made that three, but he’s been bad since he’s had more minutes lately

GoBobcats24

Yeah seems to me he is not in rhythm

powellrmp

That’s an awfully kind way to put it

I think Salaun is a fun, electrifying player in a euro league. Maybe not a top euro league.

GoBobcats24

Damn Kon

yeah I am still being positive about Tidjane

However blindly I may be doing it

DAMN KON

powellrmp

I may have been the one that disliked the Salaun pick the most, and I stand by that. I definitely wish the best for the kid.

GoBobcats24

HOLY CRAP TIDJANE GIVE ME HOPE

powellrmp

This is the last year Salaun will be a hornet

GoBobcats24

I agree with you there, thought that when I typed out that I am still being positive

powellrmp

Salaun has a 10m team option next year.

rofl 1
Mich_Mercer

I can hardly tell Tijaun and PJ apart on the court. lol I thought that was PJ

I hope it’s not his last year… we need to give him more time.

cltblkhscoach

I don't think they're giving up on him

GoBobcats24

I still believe in him I see the vision

Mich_Mercer

We knew he’d be a project and he’s still getting better.

GoBobcats24

But could see them using him in our trade to compete

powellrmp

10 million dollars

GoBobcats24

With picks and others

woodsy23

10m hurts at his level of output though

Mich_Mercer

Giannis?

powellrmp

I’m sorry guys.

GoBobcats24

I mean he's not 10m for another 2 seasons after this one

That's the last year of his rookie scale

powellrmp

Yes thank you

GoBobcats24

Still time to deal with Tidjane

powellrmp

I misread. He’s still 8.3m next year. After next year is the team option for 10m

+1 1
Mich_Mercer

That’s good to know.

powellrmp

I don’t want to see him get paid even 8m

Mich_Mercer

I was like… “we’ve barely given him time”

powellrmp

I just don’t see Tidjane and think “oh yeah, he’s one year away”. Away from what?

Mich_Mercer

Powell… you watching the wizards stream?

powellrmp

Ughhh yeah man

Mich_Mercer

We just need him to be a solid bench guy… that’s it.

But it sucks… I had Eric and Dell at first and then it just changed to the wizards. I cried.

powellrmp

If Tidjane Salaun could be an energy 8th/9th guy on the bench I think that’s his ceiling

And I don’t even believe in that

Mich_Mercer

I think it’d higher than that…. As tall and athletic as he is. He may not get there but I don’t think that’s his ceiling. Why do you always have to bum me out. :joy:

cltblkhscoach

PJ Hall has the under on him. Good grief

GoBobcats24

Guy had his worst game by far tonight

powellrmp

Man. PJ Hall has had so many good looks at the rim. And he just can’t put it in haha

Mich_Mercer

Just proves we do have some work to do with our bench.

GoBobcats24

If we are healthy he's not in the rotation anyway

Also Shannon just said that Kalk was cleared to come back into the game tonight so that's good

cltblkhscoach

PJ is a 2 way guy for sure

GoBobcats24

If we aren't healthy we are screwed

So it is what it is

I like our 8-9 man rotation when healthy

Mich_Mercer

Yep…gotta stop fighting

cltblkhscoach

I don't know if Tillman should be our 3rd big if healthy though. I think we need another vet there or an upgrade for Moussa

GoBobcats24

I agree with that can we just get Mason back lol

Mich_Mercer

Tillman can just go.

powellrmp

For sure, but our losses have been slim to very good teams. Which has been great despite being down 2.5 starters

GoBobcats24

Or can we get Bizzy one more time

heart 3
Mich_Mercer

He reminds me of a guy Clifford would have loved

Jason Maxielle anyone? Ha

laughing 1
GoBobcats24

You SOB

powellrmp

Bring back the Biz

joy 1
GoBobcats24

How dare you remind me of those times

cltblkhscoach

Primoz Brezec who says no

Mich_Mercer

Those were the years when I was like “put Monk in the game!!”

GoBobcats24

And you were right

powellrmp

BYRON MULLENS ENTERS THE CHAT

joy 1
GoBobcats24

I was such a Mullins hypeman

meloFan

I wonder if Peterson can make a deal with TJ instead of the TOs. I see something like 4/30M, like 6-7-8-9M progressive.

Mich_Mercer

I still want Malik back on the team. He’d be great off the bench.

GoBobcats24

Yeah I can see Tidjane going the Tre Mann route, refuse to give QO and sign for less

powellrmp

OH TIDJANE

Mich_Mercer

I thought PJ hit a 3 and it was Tijaun. Ha

GoBobcats24

If we still have him in 2 years

Mich_Mercer

Their hair looks the same to me.

cltblkhscoach

Malik may come back now. He hated the previous regime

GoBobcats24

Tidjane is taller

meloFan

I doubt anyone else would give TJ a contract other than us

especially 4/30m

Mich_Mercer

What’s Anthony Toliver up to? Ha

powellrmp

Salaun from deep, Tijuana Mexico!

Mich_Mercer

I’ve seen so many dogs this game

powellrmp

Yeah it’s annoying. Dogs in the stands everywhere

Mich_Mercer

So were people just aloud to bring their dog? Ha

powellrmp

Yeah I guess so. If you don’t like dogs or are allergic, I guess you’re just fucked

joy 1
Mich_Mercer

I’m more of a cat guy myself.

100 1
powellrmp

I have three

Are there more dogs in the stands than wizards fans?

cltblkhscoach

Melo and these interviews :joy::joy::joy:

powellrmp

I’ve been stuck with the wizards stream man!!

Mich_Mercer

What did Lamelo say? Did he say the f work again? lol

cltblkhscoach

A couple of the guys were messing with him during the interview and he said he had something for their ass :joy:

Mich_Mercer

I feel like I’ve been stuck with the other teams stream for like 5 games straight.
