The Hornets are 2-2 during this stretch. They have faced the Bucks, Knicks, Celtics and Wizards.

With the way LaMelo is playing right now he is definetly looking like he will make his second All-Star appearance. He also has the second longest active streak of 25+ point games in a row with 9. He is only second to Kevin Durant who currently has 14.

        I just picked a random month last season for Siakam, and picked a 4 game stretch where he did well. The 4 games from dec 3-9 he averaged 29/9/8/1.5stls/1.5 TO’s on 60% TS and a +50 box score.

        It’s not even remotely hard to make a player look good if you cherry-pick stats

            Beginning of 2022-23, 26/10/8

            Mid-end Dec of 2022-23, 32/8/6

            I’m barely trying and am easily finding comparable stat lines for an okay player. Is this really the hill you want to die on lol

        1. Giannis, 2. jokic, 3. Embiid, 4. Shai, and 5. Kevin Durant have done it this season already.
          Anthony Edward’s was a few points short and Luka was just short on rebounds. That was in literally 5 minutes of googling. That’s just this season and we are not even a quarter of the way into the year. And the cut offs are very arbitrary.

        I’m too lazy to look it up but I guarantee those players all did last year in addition to Booker, Donavan Mitchell, Tatum, lebron, butler. Probably several others.

        It’s really not hard to have absurd averages over a 4 games played.

          No they haven’t. I assume you misread my comment but that’s on you. I think I made it pretty clear. 4 34/5/5 games in a row
