Put Melo in bubble wrap. I don't need to see anymore. He is ready.

The bottom half of our roster is comically bad.

Could have ended it there. Hopefully they were getting a chance to display their abilities before getting cut

Is he? Very Otto Porter-ish. Worth the #2 pick over eye-popping standouts Scoot and Amen? Don't know

Lol we aren't watching the same players. Either that or your mind is already so made up it doesn't matter what Miller does you're team Scoot 4 lyfe

My mind isn't made up on anything. I would LOVE for something to work out in this stupid team's favor. Miller hasn't popped off the screen like those two have yet, or LaMelo did in preseason. Very role player vibes, which is definitely not what we need.

95% chance Miller will be a "solid roleplayer" occasional 25 point game in his rookie year. It is clear this team is not designed for him to get counting stats that guys like Wemby and Scoot will.
Your Charlotte Hornets! We’ll eventually get something right;right?

Nice to get a win. P.J. had a hell of a game -- 31 in points in preseason, regardless of opponent, is solid. Mark and LaMelo looked good per usual.

Careful. This will go over a lot of heads.

Seriously. Miller has been pretty good. Had an eye popping dunk and looked smooth as hell with the athletic layup today. He looks smart and in control.

Some people think Miller has a better shot at ROY than Henderson at least because of their team situations.

Wut? Otto Porter?
Cmon, Miller has looked good in every preseason game. He may not have Scoots suits or mixtapes pumping up the casuals but he has obvious ball skills.

Scoot looking pretty pedestrian tonight.
9/28 in his last two games.
18 fouls in 4 games
14 turnovers in 4 games.

Pretty much what I expected for Scoot thus far, mostly inefficient with decent raw numbers. My theory on taking Miller had very little who would score more points in their first 20 nba games though.
