Welp, definitely look like a playoff team tonight down 2 starters. It's just astonishing how the star power at the top of the roster lifts the whole team. And I'm talking about LaMelo & Miller. Opens everything for everyone else.

He looks a hot mess.

He has some good energy though. A hot mess now might be something different a few years down the road.

This game is all about Brandon though. I mean, no Mark, no Nick, Tiddy playing 20 min, Grant Williams having one of those games where he can't seem to hit a 3. Brandon going 7-11 from 3 pt land makes none of that matter. This is why we are to good to tank.

Best shooting Miller in NBA history is on our team

We have 2 dudes who can hang 30 any given night. As long as they stay healthy, we can compete in any game. So well coached.

Miller and Ball together is a fun watch, Im enjoying this team alot

Love Shannon Spake's interview with Brandon Miller. LaMelo crashed it. They play with so much joy. They really love winning. Both so competitive. What a tandem drafted by MITCH KUPCHAK! Then Mitch trades Hayward's carcass for Tre Mann. Perfect blueprint!

The unit during the 26-3 run with BMill, Cody, Grant, Tre, and Moose gets credit for maybe the best D the team's played all season.

I just love the way Cody Martin smells blood. Also drafted by MITCH KUPCHAK.

Honestly looks like a playoff team that can win a series with everyone healthy.

They were all over everything. Topped off by Miller just stripping Mathurin who for the remainder of his time on the floor gunned for payback whenever Brandon had the ball and Miller just kept punking him.

Must've been some serious smack-talking going on. We are no longer a doormat team with LaMelo's return being key. Miller suffered big time last year as a competitor trapped on a bottom feeder coached by a lame duck.

After suffering those losses as a rookie, Miller seems to have revenge on his mind. Just love the way we have 2 dudes who can carry the team.

It was Kemba all alone.

General board be like “well look at the shooting numbers, Melo really killed his team out there, have to say the Melo Hali battle ended in a draw”

Such a huge bonus how he plays so heady and how he competes relentlessly. He also can create separation off the dribble. His bag is deep, even deeper when sharing the court with his brother LaMelo.

I think he's going to be special. These next couple weeks with Miles out are massive for him.

Tell them to check the leaderboard.

LaMelo through the first 9 games is a top-10 scorer and doesn't look to be going down anytime soon with the way Lee runs offense through him. LaMelo is always sharing the floor with at least 1 other big threat and sometimes 2.

Imagine LaMelo finishing top 10 in scoring as a prolific playmaker. Such a valuable player. He is cementing his stardom.

I hope to see growth but don't really expect it. His effort will support it. I just think his hands are bad and his ball skills limited.

I can’t tell them anything unfortunately, don’t think I’ll be seeing the General Board again until I get bored enough to buy a VPN. Too many dumbasses in there

i thought Dell Curry summed it up best, he got the in the right positions defensively and played with energy.
he didn't need to score, that will come, the fact that he could start and not hurt the team was big
