9/10 for 20pts so far in this one.

Funny how when Terry or Lamelo are guarding him he drives to the lane for easy buckets. When it is McDaniels guarding him he settles for fadeaway 3 bricks.

Houston has scored 60 yet only have 3 3's and 5 FT's.

Shooting a cool 57%.

Melo is a player that needs a team full of 3&D players. Another reason why Terry needs to go.

I'd like to see PJ as a SF some. Get more size on the court. Although we don't have anyone to play PF in his place that meet that criteria....yet.

Melo
Miles (yes, I keep assuming he is back)
PJ
Wemby
Mark

Biggest team in the league, and actually has some balance too. Make it happen basketball Gods.

Well Lamelos done for a month or two.

Melo shouldn't play the rest of the season.

His ankle is gonna fall off if he keeps hurting it.

I feel like Green is the physical embodiment of how we all view the Hornets. Dude gives even less effort than Melo on D and isn't engaged unless he has the ball in his hands on offense. I think the Houston loser mentality starts with him.

Anyone who hasn't been watching games due to lack of enthusiasm should tune in for Mark Williams.

Also, credit where credit is due for the picks Mitch actually made in the last draft. McGowens is also actually fairly interesting for a 2nd round pick.

Lol I thought it was the average age of their rotation outside EG being like 20.

Being young =/= loser mentality.

It's cultural stank that gets exacerbated if your star player has a poor mentality.

We suffer a very similar problem.

LaMelo ranks 303rd out of 303 players who have played more than 10 games, and more than 15mpg in those games.

Sengun ranks 298th out of 303.


This was my thesis on not wanting him in the first place. You can get away with a bad defensive guard in the NBA, but not at Center.

My comp has always been Kanter (Freedom) for him.

Who the advanced offensive numbers love, I mean he was 16/16 per 36 playing 24 mpg for Portland and now he can't get a job?

Makes you wonder if Sengun was on a team trying to win if he would be getting any playing time.
