LaMelo Ball records 24 points in win against the Jazz!
LaMelo Ball scored 24 points, 3 rebounds, and 5 assists in 30 minutes of play for the Minnesota Timberwolves in their 115–100 win against the Utah Jazz.
The PR campaign for LaMelo in the sub is top-tier
It’s literally just me, along with some highlight posts from others… But my stat posts keep getting removed!
You gotta check out how other stat threads are being titled, like others put some more info in the titles and those stay up.
He had fans on the Hornets that will still be fans on the Wolves, like me
Wolves are just slowly collecting allies to help us deal with slander, Jazz, Knicks, and now Hornets fans
I’m so glad Kat got a ring
It’s crazy how we keep trading with teams, leaving on good terms, then have those teams go “goddamn I’m rooting for the wolves now?!?!”
He’s balling
The flair is the cherry on top here
Amazing how his lower assist rate contradicts his impact on team ball movement. Stats didn’t show HOW important his playmaking for this team.
He gets hockey assists, they just don’t record them on account that it’s basketball. In all seriousness he reads defense and knows where guys are better than anyone I’ve seen play for the Wolves.
Lamelo looks like a goofy guy and playing in a such nonchalant way, so many people disregard him, but he is a very smart player. I always enjoyed how he connected whole Charlotte mess and how he was able to read and orchestrate every person around him. He knows exactly how and where to pass, how to move from one spot to another and how to get guy to that final spot. Even Bridges looked legit! And the best thing is that he is doing all of that in a such fan and chill way. He loves basketball and he enjoys every bit of it.
I watch him and honestly think he’s just an eccentric basketball genius.
Lamelos passing has never really been captured with raw assist totals. He keeps the rock moving
he looks like the most fun guy to play with in the damn league, outside haliburton maybe
some of them actually do. don’t tell the uncs and nephews to look up where he ranks in RAPM (a nuanced plus-minus metric) and the other names around his on the list.
I had an offseason post in this vein that I scrapped cus i got banned for a bit and it was lifted after season start
might post at asb
Quality post
He fits so perfectly on this team. His joy for the game is a great counter balance to the more serious tone set by guys like Rudy.
He’s a drunken master. People are so simple minded when it comes to Lamelo despite almost every metric showing that he plays winning basketball. He’s an unserious player? Who cares because when it comes to impacting positively he is serious.
“not a winning player” is all I heard out of the dumbass talking heads in the media
We are used to it. Before him it was always jabs at Rudy or someone else. Big media just doesn’t care about Minnesota and wants to poke fun at easy targets like Gobert because it generated clicks.
Oldschool PG are always underrated. I knew he was good and positive for Charlotte last year and when I sensed the issues over there I wanted my team to pick him up. I knew he’d be great for Minni, the one thing missing for Ant to enter his MVP form. I was right every single time. He’s fucking good. He can score, drive, pass, space the floor. He’s a virtuoso with the ball.
He’s a mixture of old and new. The IQ and playmaking are old school but the scoring, handles, long range shooting, celly etc. are the new shts.
Thats why he is popular since Chino.
Nice
LAMMMEEEELLLLLLLOOOOO AHHHHHHHHHHHGHHHHGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH
Just love everything he brings.
Yeah!
Ball is Life. LaMelo is Ball
Lavar Ball is the GOAT NBA Dad
Wow. One of the performance of all time
If ppl watch the games half of lamelo turnovers arent on him.
Kevin huerter had 24 pts 5 assists and 5 blocks and daniss Jenkins had 31 pts against the lakers
Yeah but they didnt have a famous upbringing and accusations of being “unserious” basketball players… Put simply, outside of Reddit, the Balls are massive (pause)
I mean hes good but he is unserious that’s like his whole thing
Who asked?
Same people who asked about lamelos stats
Well we’re on a Mello post so I’d assume most people on this post care but we’re not on a huerter or Jenkins post
Oh my bad I thought we were just talking about mediocre performances from today
And 5 rebounds!
Okay
How many Luka posts do we see a day?
Lamelo meh performance against the worst team in the league or Luka 50+ against a team in a playoff spot hmmmm
Yeah I’m a huge wolves fan and I don’t understand this guys point. It was a routine win vs Luka averaging 40 a game.
Ok
How many jokic posts do we see?
Not enough
No ones talking about him so I’m pushing the narrative that he is good
But you didnt even pick a great LaMelo game? Like he and Ayo were obviously impacting, but the really story of this game is the Wolves bench unit
He also had 5 turnovers and was a -3 in a 15 point win, this wasn’t worth sharing
Are you really quoting single game +/- as a valuable stat?
Plus or minus is horrid
you did not watch the game. He literally single-handedly turned the game from a nailbiter to a decisive coast victory in the third quarter, and you are so out of your fucking element, brother. People like you make stats so useless.
Another Nuggets win playoff L incoming. I get it, you’re mad at the Wolves.
