Top 15 point in the league
Lamelo is wasting his talents in Charlotte. Hornets are a joke. He would be a great piece on a contender deserves to be on a big market team ! His game is Showtime! Shouldn't have been a close game!
People need to step back and chill – As a team, they haven't build the chemistry to know where to be against a 100% defence. Give it time – yes we lost but we didn't get blown out. Take a breath and relax. Plenty of basketball left and we have these guys for a few years.
We got this.
Hornets are starting to consistantly score over 100 , they are getting there. Just 1 player short. Defence is improving but do need to finish off games . it'll come…..love from Aus
Time to ask for a trade
Pretty much
Man Lamelo donβt be saying nothing π
He threw the game away trying to be a showboat instead of running out the clock after an otherwise amazing performance.
he is speaking like a real leader gotta watch out for lamelo he is mot regular
Hornets really don't deserve such a great player like lamelo ball. The organisation, the fans and media in hornets are all crazy and delusional
Last two games the officials need to be sacked wtf was the timeout mishap thatβs was absolutely disgusting honestly and last night I think it was Liam drives up the player grabs his arm he drives through another player swats his other arm ball goes out of bounds refs say play on other teams ball no foul do they even watch the screens that was why we lost plain and simple shot fucking refs and officials they should be fined they fine the players enough
Lamelo looking pissed in the thumbnail
Im sorry but Melo coming off the bench is not the play. Him being a less selfish basketball player is what they need.
They trading him 100% they donβt wanna let him get injured
Yes he is a flawed player but I think he wants to win and hates losing. It has been a long six years of ups and downs tht would probably break the spirit of the best of them. He needs to be on a team with a veteran proven coach and veteran players whether thts here or elsewhere thts just the facts.
Real good interview melo keep leading us
regardless of these bullshit losses we been taking . Im proud of us. We playing great ball , just gotta step up and finish
