Imagine hearing this in Eric Collins voice man the Hornets are so dumb
CHICKEN SALAD
He should’ve been part of the trade
Eric Collins really deserves better
Especially since we don’t get Grady too often anymore
I hope Eric Collins calls Lamelo the exact same way when they Wolves play the Hornets. Just for old time’s sake.
Ugh I didn’t realize this and am sad
Man, Lamelo have been hustling on defense. He’s frantically everywhere. It leads to lotsa fouls on Lamelo but I don’t care, love all his hustle on D.
Yeah and his bbiq translates to defense, he has good off ball awareness and positioning
That unique Ball vision ; Lonzos vision was awesome to watch also
Lonzo had that whole Jason Kidd thing going on, sad he never really got a chance due to health issues.
For sure you can tell they grew up on the court
I was so scared of all the media talk about Melo not being a winning player, but I should have trusted the Wolves FO. Never really watched the Hornets outside of Wolves games but turns out the media guys are wrong, Lamelo is great on O and more than acceptable on D. Translate to a winning player for me.
Yeah Ball and Kuminga are a good reminder not to take media/fan narratives at face value
Who we thinking won the trade?
Depends how that 8 year old turns out
They’ll probably trade that pick for another player. Maybe a lead guard that could get their young wings good looks.
A Lamelo type would certainly help
Yea if only they had a LaMelo type of player
Charlotte drivers
That silver lining
Such a smart front office move though. /s
In the distance I hear the phantom of Eric Collins absolutely losing his mind
HUM DIDDLY DEE
CHICKEN SALAD!!
And people thought LaMelo plays no defense
He’s low key been a demon on that end. Makes sense, a 6’7 PG should be a good defender. Being surrounded by great help and a Top 2 rim defender should naturally net those results if you’re out there trying hard.
I have Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball on my team 🥹🥹🥹
HOW IS OUR TITANIUM OFFENSE BEING SHREDDED LIKE SO MUCH EASTER PEEPAGE
Lonzo teaching him how to play defense
He was excellent on D, just like he has been all season. I didn’t know he was a borderline elite defender, but after watching every game of this season he sure looks close to being one. His length really seems to bother whoever he’s guarding and he’s been excellent fighting over and through screens, and staying on a string when the defense gets into rotation.
Four in a row without ANT btw
I don’t watch a lot of games but will see highlights here. Is he putting in a lot more effort now he’s on a more competitive team? I feel like I didn’t see so many highlights of him like I have this season
He’s hustling hard as fuck every second he’s out there, and he’s actually been a net positive on defense to my eye. Maybe the stats say different, though
Having the best defensive communicator in the league in Rudy helps players play better defense if they are willing to listen.
Which is why getting Dubious Handle off the team has helped the defense so much.
Kuminga is also dong better since he doesn’t need to worry about the guy giving out the defensive communication punching him in the face now.
Now that Ant is out, I am back to not liking him. I tried, but he is so obnoxious.
Hornets should have asked for more.
