Not everyday two guys score 80+ points between them.

Wouldn't be surprised if this is the first time that's ever happened for us.

Congrats to LaMelo, great game.

Its shocking how bad the rest of the players around LaMelo and Miller are. I really thought Green and Grant (RIP) would step up but they are barely rotation players.

How many times has it happened for anyone? Maybe Steph and Klay?

I whole heartedly disagree with this statement. Green and Grant have been solid this year, especially Grant. They are the epitome of good role players and leaders who do the dirty work. Come on Coolio.

I'm not sure either would crack the top 9 on a playoff team with how they have been playing. We are just so freaking starved for talent that they are clear starters here.

Green started for the Mavs in the finals and is currently playing better now than he did then. Same for Grant (playoffs not finals)

Man I hate that for Grant. He wasn’t playing great (especially on defense) but a solid pro who helps this squad.

How bad is our center position NOW? They’d better get a damn big man called in from G-League who can play and rebound. Mark is vapor, Richards is on the slow rehab, Diabetes is too thin…

No wonder we’re watching Melo and Miller become 90% of our offense.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

At this point I can only assume that Vasa is playing over nsj solely for the purpose of trying to boost his trade value and get anything in return for him at the trade deadline. In hindsight they should have just sat his **** at the end of the bench and street clothes all season. Every second he's on the court his value decreases. I don't know what we have to lose by playing Nick over him at this point. I mean you can't run a lineup out there with Vasa, moose, salaun, and green/cody - Like we did tonight. There is a zero percent chance that team can score.

Melo targeting the Giannis iso and cooking him all night long is crazy

There’s a chance all this iso work pays off in the long term for our stars if we ever make the playoffs cause that’s how we’re gonna have to score in a real series but damn you can’t play every regular season in November like this and survive

Either way, Kemba here personally developing his successor into an all NBA superstar is probably my favorite storyline this team has had in forever

This franchise is finally on the right track. It's all about health at this point.

I also would like to apologize to everyone for suggesting we trade Melo. This dude has exceeded my expectations and more. I thought he could be all-star level had he stay healthy, but he's on a path towards All-NBA. Dude is something special.

Charlotte the future is ours!

imagine if we'd just snagged Kemba for ourselves cheaply like 3 years ago when OKC bought him out. He could've been a part of everyone's development much sooner

LaMelo deserves 50 stars for that game.

Return to Charlotte Hornets
