I think Lamelo got pissed and said to hell with it and put Black on his ass. I don’t blame him he’s been fouled bare minimum 4 times with no call.

Good tank loss in the end. Have some separation at 3rd place but still clearly outplayed Orlando. Tidjane was hilarious down the stretch.

I heard the N word about 8 times after Lamelo put Black on his ass. Don’t like the word but I love the fight.

It’s a shame this board doesn’t like him. This is an absolutely absurd 4th quarter scoring performance and no one has commented on it

we get frustrated, but I think everyone likes Lamelo.

if you're referring to trade talk, its often due to the team looking like it won't be ready to compete for a few years and the timelines dont match.

i still have my fingers crossed they can turn it around next season. (yes I know Swedd, we've heard it before, just let me have it)

his team defense is solid, thats why he's out there. driving is still very much a work in progress

he often does look like a baby giraffe learning to walk, but i do love the enthusiasm

Brandon Millers wrist is the most important ordeal in the entire offseason. We never talk about him anymore, but we need him. That and the draft lottery. lol.

Looked like some positive performances tonight. I agree with the sentiment that there were some inconsistent calls, but that is to be expected.

Expected to lose by a much larger margin.

its a common theme in basketball everywhere and I why I would never want to be a ref.
They will never call all illegal contact in pro ball as the game would be dead slow and you would run out of players, so they have to pick and choose when to call it. It's impossible to keep that legit 50/50
