@bluelemxnade @sliceinterlude I agree, but i also think if Lamelo were willing to shoot midrange shots it would completely solve this problem.

@sliceinterlude I don't think so I think that lamelo has arguably one of the most telegraphed playstyles in the league. He's constantly looking to turn the corner right or step back off the catch, has the same inbetween shot animation every time, very predictable reads
English
Players like Melo and Maxey have definite playstyles that have definite solutions which the defense only has to discover once. Ant fundamentally does not have a definite playstyle because his attack varies every possession. It's what he sacrifices regular season value for
red@bluelemxnade
Lamelo Ball and Tyrese Maxey are fundamentally incapable of postseason performances like this one

@MarzTalksSports who got it worse? indy who traded their pick and lost it but atleast got zubac.
or mavs who won their last game trying to get a pointless roty award and swapped spots with memphis?

@sockt2003 @roddystr His offense was always the weakest part of his coaching game. Saying he hasn’t earned an extension because you want to focus on that rather than the clear good (defense, chemistry, development) is my issue. Also, majority of Hornets fans viewed 44 wins as overachieving.
English
They're going to tell you that the Hornets players all hate Charles Lee and he's sabotaging LaMelo Ball by sticking to a minutes restriction to prolong him this season.
Team went from 4-14 to 44-38 all while LaMelo Ball plays his second most games in his NBA Career in Year 6.
English
@sockt2003 @roddystr Losing close games was a mix of coaching and not having a reliable halfcourt scorer, that blame can be extended to multiple people, even the front office. Lee is regarded as a good coach by everyone except Hornets fans, and the replacements available are clearly inferior.
English
@Saraoras @roddystr That’s completely fine but at some point you have to accomplish smth before getting rewarded. You can argue Charles was a high reason they lost their close games. I don’t think he’s proven extension worthy. Especially since we all thought they’d be better if they stayed healthy
English
@sockt2003 @roddystr process > outcome.
every season is unpredictable, he’s overachieved with every defense he’s been given as an assistant and head coach.
the players clearly believe in him and buy into his philosophy. so as long as that remains he should be here.
English
@roddystr Still too early for an extension yes he took us from 19 to 44 wins over 2 years but like what happens if this team drops to say 35 wins? Atleast make playoffs first before the extensions come in
English
@roddystr During Kon’s exit interview he stated that they had a meeting with player development later that day, I’d imagine that played the biggest part in pointing moose in this direction, which makes me super excited for everyone’s development.

Moussa Diabate adding a corner three ball at the LEAST will be a gamechanger but the weight gain is the most important part of all of this. Saw himself at a disadvantage against certain Centers and understands what he has to do.
The entire organization is on the same page
r/CharlotteHornets@HornetsReddit
🎙️ Moussa Diabate on goals for next season: "Obviously, team-wise, get to the playoffs. It's been a very long time since Charlotte had the chance to go to the postseason. That's a very important thing for us." "For me personally, obviously, getting stronger. It's cool and all to be able to be there and play hard, but at some point, your body's gotta be ready to take those hits, be able to absorb them, and also give them back. So definitely just make sure that I'm getting that body ready as much as I can, gain weight, being more explosive..." "Offensively, I want to play to my strengths. I'm obviously quicker than most bigs, I can outrun them, and it's one of them things where I know I'm looking at guys like Bam Adebayo, just guys that are comfortable with the ball. But it's not like I have to overdo it. But it's like looking at Draymond (Green)... just guys that have played to their own strengths." "Definitely work on my offensive game and add a little corner three. That would obviously be nice, so definitely just focus on that... expand my range. But really, at the end of the day, as much as I want to do all those things, I want to also make sure that I'm great at the things that I already do. I think that's the most important part."

@Whats_the_dirt would it not just be a good way to help market/promote the album? he’s probably not doing vinyl/bundles, so he’s maximizing hype in other ways. his issue isn’t only with the label, id imagine he wants to also show kendrick that hes still well above him sales wise.
English
I’m not sold on the whole Scary Hours 4 theory.
Drake supposedly owes UMG one more album. So why would he drop a little EP or pack that wouldn’t count towards the deal, let UMG eat off that, and then let them eat even more when ICEMAN drops?
That doesn’t really make sense.

@sakatierney45 funny. houston rocket fans were singing this exact same song a year ago lol.

@DHbeeh @DecodePower @ItsYent @NBA__Courtside the topic was professionalism not skill. ant is just as immature as lamelo. people such as nick wright and yourself are willing to overlook that due to anthony edwards level of play.
a story as old as time.
English
@Saraoras @DecodePower @ItsYent @NBA__Courtside You mean the unequivocal superstar ant 🤦 if you can’t see the difference between ant and lamelo then there’s no helping you 🤷

Nick Wright on calling LaMelo Ball a Clown:
“I said something I thought was a universally held opinion. Which was LaMelo Ball does not treat his profession seriously and is widely on the court and with his driving record off the court, immature…. The way he played 10 years ago as a high school prep player, is the way he plays in the NBA. That just ain’t gonna work”
(Via Front office Sports news YT)
English
@DecodePower @ItsYent @NBA__Courtside Anthony Edwards. a guy who Nick said Lamelo should be more like while ignoring the usage of slurs in the offseason, ongoing baby mama issues, and self admitted bad eating habits/weight issues during the nba season.

I refuse to believe he wasnt an industry plant

Zaccharie Risacher exploded for 28 points (5/7 3P), 6 rebounds in 29 minutes in game two of the French playoff quarterfinals. Career high outing in any platform for the No. 1 ranked prospect on ESPN's Top 100, in an ultra aggressive performance.
English
@dacornerman Kon is still has a ton of ground to make up in terms of Ball handling/Playmaking/Decision making. his ceiling seems maxed out right now because he’s in a good situation.
English
Aight.. after sleeping on it
-Lamelo and Moose gotta get in the weight room
-Hornets need a rim protector
-They need an agitator as well
-Kon may have reached his ceiling already
-Brandon Miller is going to have be more assertive
-Grant Williams doesn’t need to be on the team
English
@iohandles targeting the only guy that showed up in the first half and the only guy that showed up in the 2nd half is certainly an interesting perspective to say the least.
English
Brandon Miller and LaMelo Ball will never play together on a serious playoff team because gaining significant weight and changing play styles isn’t as seamless as NBA Twitter thinks.
Whoever you value more gives you your answer. I know who I value more.
