“The turnovers as many as he did?”
Douglas Adams shout out! very nice!
Cut the narrative of melo not being a good defender, his value on defense is off ball. He is a point guard, a natural passer. His eyes on defense are usually looking to where the ball is going, cutting into passing lanes for fast break opportunities and turn of possession plays.
You don’t have to be a lockdown defender to be a good defender there are many guys who are great in off ball defense and that is Lamelo ball
The lamelo being cleared late was known but not widely shared. Rod Boone had a article on 10/11 that said Lamelo was only fully cleared 3 weeks prior
"We got that hog in us" … thats what she said
I think you guys missed touching on Lamelo’s new ankle braces which might require some adjustment period. Love the show fellas!
lamelo was just a bit nervous i feel today hes gonna show out for sure. rust from not playing in a while
When Miles gets finish he's 10 game suspension, It's on.
You guys have rattled the Lamelo hive. They’re swarming! 😂
Good luck to my boy Miller 24 against Detroit tonight he should start games instead of coming off the bench tho his game is solid 100% 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
I also chuckled at 40 burger on the reg 😂
Scary terry 3 my boy he that boy his game official
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Need a sound for when you pull a ball out of the duffle bag for bet the buzz too
The fact that he had an off night and still gave us 10 ast
Lamelo is fine, he just started playing last month, and put up doubles digit scoring numbers in the preseason and the first game. Seems like he's a lil slow but the speed is coming back and he'll be in rhythm.
Frogger hates LaMelo 😒
Melo needs to make his middle name LaFrance a car manufacturer brand. The LaFrance gt or something. Sounds cool.😅
He learning to play with ankle braces……. It’s going to be an adjustment period.
LaMelo can go to work, while he's getting his strength and speed back. If he's healthy and strong going into the second half of the season, we'll all be happy he chose to take his time to get there. I'll take his 11 3 attempts with 10 apples in 31 mins.
