I was thinking M&M for Melo and Miller, but why not a collective nickname for all our young players:

Melo, Miller, Miles, Mark, Mann, Moussa

M&M&M&M&M&M ?

Eminemineminemineminem?

M⁶?

I liked when Brandon was doing the too hot to handle celebration a couple games ago cause it’s a nice contrast to LaMelos “ice in his veins” they should keep riding that in the marketing. Hopefully someone talks him out of the finger guns he brought back out last night

Three excellent games followed three terrible ones. I love to see it.

Wonder if The Scoreboard will mention Miller's 7-34 shooting from 3 in the three games before I (along with national NBA media) mentioned his slump. Nah, probably not.

Or you could just move on instead of praying Miller does bad so you can win an argument.

Miller now shooting 38% from three on the season. Regardless of the slump,heater he is shooting the ball just fine from three.

I've never prayed for anyone to play poorly to win an argument and if there's anyone with the right to judge what justifies that, it's not the guy who digs up old posts from people and uses "live a little" as his justification to mods.

Congrats on the mute button mate, tired of seeing the negativity constantly. Feel better already.

I'm just glad his shooting slump didn't last long I was starting to get concerned.

He still needs to work on his handles tho, it could take his game to another level if he could create shots off the dribble consistently.

how many 6'8/6'9 guys are breaking down guys with dribbles anyway. even young LeBron needed crab dribbles to do anything in the half court on drive at that size. He just needs his grown up man strength. He'll be much better on drives in a year or two. Melo is finding his now and I think Brandon will have a similar improvement at that age

Non-stop negativity does not breed positive interactions. Despite getting injured and coming back, Miller is playing well for the most part and is learning a new system /compensating for other people being out while still a relative noob. Hopefully, once we have a full line up (next year? 2025-26?) he can look great in his best role.

I think I agree that Miller needs to go through some growing pains of failing as a higher usage guard who is being relied on to shoulder the load of playmaking, scoring... him conquering some of these limitations is what gives him top 25 upside. Vs someone like Keegan Murray who has been relegated to a spot up shooter for the most part.

It was almost a sign of respect how hard the Knicks were doubling him to end that game. he is only shooting 2% worse in EFG% then he did last year and he is carrying a much larger role so all in all I am pleased with him.

7 3's last night. Probably too soon to write off Brandon. Maybe he is slightly better then Scoot! We have the makings of a good team once these guys get healthy and we fill in a couple of holes.

I think Brandon has shown extremely well at this stage of his development and considering the amount of defensive pressure he's faced in Melo and Mile's absence. Zero worries.

Brandon was awesome last night, he was efficient on offense and ended the game with 0 turnovers.
