Maybe I'm not following but you're saying drawing charges is flopping?

The one his brother did the other day was even worse. He jumped so far sideways and the defender was running away from the contact.

Not taking any player in the NBA 21 years old or younger over Lamelo.

Legal flopping. Like it's an accepted part of the game and I get the rule but I've never been a fan of it. But I like physicality. I'd rather that specific interaction between the offense and defense be officiated more like playground hoops.
This doesn't do it for me. Rather see a play on the ball.

I had a problem when Kobe and Dwade started that move and now it's gone overboard all across the league. Steph jumped from behind the 3 to well in the 3 and elbowed dude. By this new standard the league has set, that's a flagrant.

Lamelo is great. He ain’t Zion though

You're right. He's better.

clearly offensive and a flagrant. it's no different from players sticking their knee on your groin when they got you in the air.

I mean its a legit defensive play although from a personal standpoint I kinda agree I always would go for swipe/tie up or let em go up if I thought I could block it. Wasn't about that sacrifice the body fake scream life lolLegal flopping. Like it's an accepted part of the game and I get the rule but I've never been a fan of it. But I like physicality.

yeah trade him over to the Pelicans for Zion and let them bros play together.

Why would the Hornets get fleeced like that? MJ is a bad owner but even he isn't that wild.

Melo shooting 35% from 3 and 80% the line as a rookie is GREAT.

The impact Lamelo made on the Hornets is greater than what Hayward brought. Granted, Rozier made a huge leap too.
He's just as good as I thought he'd be, just a lot more mature. The vets and other young guards on the team are with him. Seems like a guy players want to play with. Great sign.

so you are saying Zion is a bad acquisition over Lamelo?

zion is already the 3rd best player at his position and is probably top 25 in the league.
25/7 on 60% shooting while playing in a phone booth. Looking real Shaq like in the paint. Free throw rate climbing.

I'm telling you if you make that trade the Hornets would be a worst team.
Where the wins at though? All that talent and Pelicans are still bottom dwellers.

If he was consciously trying to elbow him in the face I would agree. I just don't think that was the case. He jumps in and tries draw contact all the time. Probably though Dennis would stick his hands in, make a play at the ball.
By the letter of the law and how they been calling it all soft over the past 2 years, probably flagrant yeah. If you touch a follicle on someone's head they'll review it for hostility.

tougher conference and the pieces don’t fit. That’s not on the god because he’s been unstoppable.

Zion is a monster but Melo, a guard that can create and dictate pace is more valuable. It shows in their team records. Nobody had the Hornets winning more games than the Pels. Melo came in and lit a fire on that team.

Never understood the anti charge sentiment. The whole point of defense is to stay in front of your man
