CLAMPED BY LAMELO LETS FUCKING GO
Edit: on a side note, i think we are getting starter miller much earlier than expected. Hoping for a quick recovery for terry
we winning
Let me pop a W on this box
Truly the dumbest, most unexplainable ending to a game.
LaMelo hitting the dagger, and by that I mean him somehow sealing the game with a steal lmao
That was one of the wildest Hornets game I’ve seen in awhile
Going 24 for 24 on free throws cannot be overstated enough for this game.
I hate watching basketball lmaooooo, let’s fucking goooooooooooo
FUCK THE PACERS FUCK NESMITH 2X
Couldn’t watch the game but kept my eye on the score, and was still super anxious. Let’s fucking go!
I loved LaMelo kicking the ball out of bounds 😂
Tried our absolute best to lose that down the stretch…2 times we could’ve pulled the ball out and killed clock and instead chose to go at the basket and turn the ball over
We really have no idea how to finish a game while winning lmao I love it
I don’t care if you score over 40, getting clamped by LaMelo of all people to end the game has to be a massive blow to your ego.
That was so ugly it feels weird to applaud it
Gordon said We really tried to lose this game with those decisions in the last few minutes
Those plus minus, wow. (From a fan who didn’t see the game, woke up for a pee in Europe and saw a sweet W for Hornets)
Lmao what a cluster fuck of an ending… But let’s go, 79-3 here we come
I be feelin hella good bro. Melo better be back after that shit.
All PJ had to do was not fumble the ball twice and take the foul down the stretch but thank god it didn’t come back on us.
But the Condor Condor’d once again. And BMill is that dude
Lamelo may not be playing pretty rn but he’s doing the dirty work and going hard for the ball
Luckiest win I’ve seen us get in a while. That was fun though
The worst and most hilarious win I’ve seen

Watched that game with the Pacers announcers. I can’t wait for the highlight vid on YT with Eric & Dell.
# LAMELO “THE WALL” BALL
By the way, don’t let this ending distract you from the fact that Mark HIMlliams made a career high 27 point game
Lamelo clamping down Haliburton for the W. A winning player against a losing player, that’s all there is to it really
Any criticism I have of Miller can be attributed to him being a rookie.
He missed a few switches and has bonehead fouls at times, but he’s gonna be such a complete, talented player. I’m so happy to have him.
I can’t believe it
We FINALLY have a good center 😭. One that we drafted no less!

It’s so nice to have a good center
Thank goodness we won this game. This one would have really hurt after losing some very winnable games. Shoutout to Bally Sports for finally working on my phone so I was able to finally watch a game 🙏.
Hope Terry isn’t out for long, but just like Melo’s rookie season, one injury creates one opportunity
Miller didn’t fill up a big box score, but his impact on this game is underrated. His defense was very impactful and made some critical plays on offense. Also that last “block” called on him should have been a charge.
Let’s keep it a stack Tyrese was in some out of this world shit, some of those shots he was just hoisting up
Man I hope Terry is okay, hopefully Miller starts and plays well.
Aside from that, all the starters except for Lamelo looked great but I wish the offense would involve Miller a bit more. Hopefully when Cody and Bridges come back our bench looks deeper as well.
Still have no clue why Theo is still being played, especially when we just drafted a guard who was considered one of the “steals” of the draft.
Cliff still needs to go but this was a good win, GGs!
