LaMelephant: The LaMelo Ball Thread (#2)

Can't wait to see him limping around the court within a week and then immediately reinjury it.

This is just what happens with ankle injuries, you reinjure it easily but it isn't as bad as the original injury. If they are going to reevaluate in a week, it sounds like not that big of a deal.

A bigger deal is our coach sucks and we can't win cause of that.

Watched IND / BOS tonight, and my biggest takeaway is it **** sucks that Melo can't stay healthy.

Funny vid, but damn Melo working those wrists seems like a nervous tic or something at this point.

Constantly with the wrists, knees and ankles. He makes me nervous watching him.

Hornets twitter right now....

Everyone is an insider... Overreaction to every game.. every minor storyline posted 35 times...

It is legit clickbait and 95% of it is negative.

Let's do our best to have our entire fanbase hate every player and hate the franchise more...

I’ve never seen it this bad. But obviously we are all getting impatient and frustrated with how things are going. The leadership of this organization has done a pretty bad job and then there’s the injuries. Simply cannot overcome both.

Yes, so let's clip every video to turn the fans against every player but Miller. What could go wrong lol.

That would be completely stupid. Melo is not a finished product, dude needs time on the court. Why tf would we hold him out for no reason?

JMAC3 · Post #314 » by **JMAC3** » Sun Feb 4, 2024 4:39 pm

If we can get 3-4 players who actually can play at the deadline via trades we make then shut Melo down for 10 games. That is fine, but shutting him down for the year I think sends him the wrong message.

Also, really don't want Miller to play in 30 games we lose by 20+ to end the year. He is already playing too many mins. We need to give him some help especially if we are intent on dumping Miles for peanuts.

Can we (you) put the "team rushes players back early" narrative to rest?

Didn't Clifford say LaMelo is hurt? It's not a stretch to consider that given he came back from a sprained ankle on the slightly early side of the timeline. Granted, I don't know what to think anymore.

Post #318 » by **fatlever** » Sun Feb 4, 2024 10:21 pm

Clifford basically said last week....paraphrasing,....there's no reason to rush him back because it's not like we're playing meaningful games.

My best guess is they hold him out until after the All-Star break at the very least.

I can't imagine I actually shut him down for the rest of the season, unless he gets surgery on the angle again
