[Highlight] Lamelo gets his face hurt running into his own head coach
why is the coach trying to save the ball š
Canāt even make this shit up anymore Melo is cursed
Think Charles Lee is just watching the play and never sees Lamelo. Pretty unlucky
Worst Charles Lee blunder since Monmouth 1777
my god, fucking top tier reference.
Give me Lee!
Dude walks into walls more than defenders at this point š
Nah, he 100% saw him. That was a targeted hit.
Is Charles Lee blind?
One of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen a coach do in game lol. Dude lost the plot.
this is maybe not even top 5 for lee this season
The man has been an absolute chaos agent on the sidelines all year
You hate the fact they’ve won 7 straight and are on a huge roll? Do you remember what it was like with Mitch and Steve Clifford?
that may all be true, doesn’t change the fact that Lee has done some absolutely stupid ass things here at times.
Like what? Genuinely curious
off the top of my head:
his ventures bringing Melo off the bench and breaking up what is now a wildly successful starting 5. Related to this, his rotations are so disjointed at times that when Melo is pushing his minute restrictions, he misses crunch time/OT minutes. Prior to this seven game streak, I was pretty convinced this was done on purpose to tank.
Sion James running PG (in his defense, Lee does not have many backup PG options but Sion has exactly zero PG ability)
Consistently bad timeout usage. he’ll suck the momentum out of a big run, or just let another team pile points on.
Inbounds plays are usually awful (not different from our last few coaches lol)
Canāt have nice things in Charlotte wtf is this coach doing
Lamelo: We’ve won 6 in a row and are 8-2 in our last 10, coach!
Lee: Hold my beer
Probably a reflex thing lol dude saw the ball coming near him and wanted to shoot a jumper
I think they were both trying to keep up the pace/momentum
Itās just instinct from playing basketball his whole life
“Oooo…ball bouncy! Grab now!” I think that’s about it.
you hoop long enough and itās just muscle memory, ball comes towards you you grab it
Ball is life.
Facts. I ran to the comments to say this shit š coach feining to get out there
No he wanted to kiss LeMelo
“Lemme get a shot”
Saving the Ball by sacrificing Ball
He’s a ball player. Instincts kicked in
Charles thinks he playing
To be fair to the coach, that ball was out already.
The ball was not at all out already. It was a pass thrown from inbounds and you can see Lamelo touch it first trying to save it. It was only out of bounds after bouncing off of Lee’s foot.
Teamwork.
Maybe he was watching that video of soccer coaches handling balls out of play and was like I want that feeling
Lead by example
Thatās fucking crazy, never seen a player get injured by his own coach
A reverse Sprewell, if you will
Do it for PJ
Get choked for him
A Wellspre?
heās been spreeing it well
After injuring his eye, he wonāt seewell. Aight Iām out.
Good thing Knipple has a fresh pair⦠(just prop the door open, Iāll see myself out as well)
This was accidental - Iād say a reverse Van Gundy
100% his coaches fault too that was kinda wild he had absolutely no business trying to save that ball in that situation
it happened last year when conley ran into chris finch. finch ended up way worse off from that one though lol
idk what Lee is trying to do here, your own player is trying to save the ball
Mazulla rubbed off on him. I dunno if you remember when Joe tried to block a shot after the whistle
Him doing cartwheels in the locker room after their last win makes a lot more sense now
My thought too was that this is a Mazulla-ism. Have seen a couple times where Joe is also saving the ball or not giving it to an opposing player š
Lmao completely forgot about that. I think the ref shot block on Kris Humphries is the only one to have that beat. Need a celebrity like Spike Lee to contest a Pacers play after the whistle or similar one day.
Melo is just cursed. You guys have been playing too well so the basketball gods have to bring you back down to earth lol
HUBRIS
The basketball balance needs to be restored as the vibes were getting to immaculate in Hornets.
Yea this is dumb as fuck.
Even if Melo wasnāt there, the ball is still live donāt touch it lol
āHeadā coach lol
That’s no way to get ahead in life.
š Gold š¤£
reddit the freak on!!1
Cmon man just when we turning this shit around.
Some say the ghost of purple shirt guy pushed him toward the ball
you’re a coach, stay in your lane.
āStay in yo laneā
Ball knowledge
I didn’t even realize there was a game right now.
Weather gets bad tonight in charlotte
Yeah why are we playing games at 2 pm on a Monday
Big snow storm over the weekend, lots of snow and ice still on the ground so they moved the game up in the day before everything refreezes tonight
3pm tip off but i really donāt know, games got postponed last week due to Minnesota, maybe thatās the reason.
Still lots of snow in Charlotte from the weekend.Ā
Snow
It feels like CHA has been playing bunch of daytime games lately
I was confused because as of 10pm where Iām at this post is 7 hours old I was like is this a clip from last night thought I was hallucinating š
Wtf coach?!? You finna suit up?! Get tf out the way! šš
Worried more about ball than a multimillion$ asset.Ā Ā
Ball had a legit chance to save that, what an idiot
Even if they didnāt bonk heads idk why his coach was even going for that. If he came into any contact with the ball whether he was in bounds or not, it wouldāve been an automatic TO because coaches arenāt considered one of the 10 active players on the floor, weirdly enough.
Both balls were out of bounds already.
Only the hornets man Iām absolutely sick
Nice
Hahahahahaha
of course it’s us
Is he hurt?
No they cleaned up the small cut and he went right back in
Literally speechless, you canāt do shit but laugh lmaooo
Wtf
People are about to see how bad we are without him
Bruh not like this
Second physical altercation between LaMelo and coach Lee in 3 days… those two must really be at odds with each other.
LaMelo tried to tackle him while Coach Lee was doing aerobics the other day.
Melon clearly hates Lee and wants out
Coach’s brain convinced his body that real games aren’t played this early on a Monday.
Well, if that isnāt our franchiseās luck captured in one moment.
sorry but thatās not luck, itās a dumb move by the coach.
Thatās what I call a HEAD coach!
Advanced tanking
This is not a surprising headline.
What was the coach thinking?
why do the hornets play at such random times on weekdays
Leftover snow/ice in Charlotte will freeze over again tonight so they moved it up.
Coach PLEASE! What are you doing up?!?!?
Now kith.
Besides, why such an early match on a Monday? (I’m in Europe, so I’m happy to have a 9pm match) Is it because of the weather?
Live ball and the coach is going for it?
This is not what they mean when they say ‘think as one’
Shit like this is why I sold the team. -Jordan
Not only did he injure his star player. But if that had all gone to plan and he successfully āsavedā the ball before Lamelo did, he wouldāve instantly forced a turnover for his team upon contact with the ball. I truly have no idea what was going through his mind in that moment.
Pelicans vs Hornets…
cursed teams, cursed match-up, cursed shenanigans
Why God
Imagine the same coach who benched you also head butts you, cant make this stuff up.
But really though, wtf is the coach doing..?
Not the first Charles Lee to make some bad decisions in Carolina.
Why is this game in the middle of the day?
Weather
Now kith
Jesus wtf is this coach thinking?!
Brutal
it was so quiet i turned my tv up cause i thought i muted it or something
I was watching it with league pass and I thought they just cut the audio. Dead silent. I want a clip of that.
Bro of fucking course. Watch it be some freak eye injury and heās out 2 months. Just a hornets curse
bro wants to play too
Bro wtf.
Both Balls were literally out of bounds, not defending the coach but the play was dead
Where and when do you see the basketball being out of bounds?
Might improve his appearance
That was all on the coach lol. What was he doing? š
This is some looney tunes shit lmao
respect to lamelo for hustling on the attempted save
charles lee what on earth were you thinking man
Broke my nose in high school like this
after a 3⁄14 from 3s, this is how to make it up
That looks painful
Indeed a highlight
Absolutely stupid move by the coach
My guy thought he was back at Bucknell.
Coaches are doing way too much
Well that’s one way for the hot streak to end
fuck
Why is the coach even in that spot?
What is the coach thinking
OPs username checks out…given their post history…
After seeing what happened with his half shirt that may be his way of trying to sneak a kiss š
Trying so hard not to kiss
Never seen that before lol
Should have cartwheeled
Coachās fault
What the hell was coach doing?
what is the coach doing diving for that lmao
Face mask melo finna be š„
He trying to get into the coaches head
Head coach causes head injuryš
Why are they playing so early?
you think they smooched a little?
PG gets suspended for the Sixers as they start to turn around, and then Melo gets injured by his own HC as they turn things around. Cursed franchises
This is one of the strangest accidents I’ve seen š
SHAQTIIN A FOO
100% on Charles Lee here. Even if Lamelo probably couldn’t get it, that’s the kind of effort you want from him, no?
My first thought seeing the headline was, “Only Lamelo.” But that one is 100% on the coach. To quote Glengarry Glen Ross: “Your job is to help us. Not to F*CK US UP.”
Air Bud ass coach
What did I just see?? Madness
Sources say āLaMelo Ball has been butting heads with his head coachā
Next level tanking
Hahaha!!!
Inside job. He doesnāt like Melo
Can’t believe I’m tuning into Hornets Pelicans at 1PM my time and kinda excited to watch. Never woulda believed this even last year. Hornets are fun.
This should get a coach fired
TRADED
Idiotic move by coach. Jeez.
This one of the most goofiest things I saw on a court
Tryna get that number 1 pick by any meansā¦
On the real, super unfortunate
Come on coach
His coach needs to be executed for that.
You canāt make this up man. Things were going a bit too good for the hornets I guess šĀ
The last name is cursed
i was at the game i’ve never heard an arena quieterĀ
Top tier slo mo lol
Dork
Whole place was dead. We did not recover that first half even after he came back.
Wth is the coach doing? Hes not a player is he?
WYD coach?
This might be the most bizarre injury of the season. Both of them going for the save and just smacking heads is wild.
BRUH
Lmfao at the dude wearing a mask š
Thatās a textbook targeting penalty on Lamelo.
Head to head coach
is the coach high? your best player is trying to save the ball gtfo the way
Could you phrase that any worse
That wasnāt very good. They should hire a head coach. Get it?
Melo has been playing too good. Heās trying to take him out before they trade him lmao
If I did this it would take me so long to refocus from the embarrassment lmao
This is the strangest highlight Iāve ever seen.
Yes, “head” coach, for a reason.
