A lot of people are going to reply with the sample size, but I feel like this post is a response to the multiple posts about him doing poorly after the first five games. Either way Lamelo has been playing well and it looks like he is adjusted now. We also finally got back 2/3 of our roster after being down nearly half of our roster early on so hopefully that translates to more wins.
This makes me feel like we handled the situation appropriately at the very least. I do think we need better preventative measures in place so that situations like Kai don’t happen again. I know we got a mental health professional on the staff, maybe make compulsory appointments with the therapist for everyone on the team so it’s not as stigmatized. The scheduling and number of sessions for each player could vary as needed, but as long as everyone on the team is doing it people like Kai might not feel as weird about it.
In my lifetime, I didn’t think we’d find another franchise player like Cam, but I’m glad we did.
PJ bothers me more for some reason. Gordon I can understand since he’s getting older and has been injured so frequently (upsetting but understandable). PJ you would expect to have some level of consistency by now. He needs to get into some kind of rhythm and start hitting those open threes.
RJ is fine man he just came back. Why are you straight hating on the kid?
Meanwhile PJ and Gordon decided to improve on their performance from yesterdays 2-12 to today’s 2-17. These are 2/3 of our highest paid players at the moment.
We just have too many issues right now. Gordon just has some games where he can’t hit the left side of the barn. Melo was off from 3 today but at least he kept attacking the basket. Mark really needs to just get stronger - he has so many missed opportunities right near the basket. Miles, all things considered, played solid for being out for as long as he was. PJ is deferred way too much and never gets in rhythm. I know we have injuries but our personnel just isn’t consistent enough to let us win games. If ownership really wants to show that they are different from Jordan, do something proactive for once in my life.
Giannis and Jimmy a close second.
People overhyping height theses days and not focusing enough on girth
For context, he was out most of the summer from the surgery and just started playing again within the last month. It’s gonna take time.
I used to respect you defending Westbrook man, but sinking to hating is just sad.
Spurs coming out the west
Damn I guess we just missed the cut
I don’t really follow Lonzo too much to know his injury history, but Lamelo always had the weirdest history to me with what feels like freak accidents leading to injury. Also his first two years he never had a single ankle injury (he had a wrist and hip injury). Then all of a sudden last year he had 4 ankle injuries and a shoulder injury throughout the year. Idk it’s weird to say but it honestly feels like really really bad luck with how some of them played out.
