I'll admit that LaMelo played really well last night, and I might not have made my previous post had I noticed the result earlier because now it just makes me look stupid. With that being said, it's one great game, and almost anyone in the league can have one great game, ...


They can have even more than one. Who doesn't remember Linsanity?

Europe may lack the dominant superstars that inevitably filter into the NBA, but I daresay that the top clubs over there are almost as strong as the lesser NBA clubs, which are still capable of winning games in the league on a good day. And the game as a whole is better for having such a strong professional second tier of basketball...


I would like to see the best European teams compete in the NBA on a regular basis. I'm sure many people in the US would be surprised. Although I'm sure it's true most of the times, I don't like that they automatically declare NBA winners to be world champions without even playing a single team outside of the US (the Raptors don't count).

Btw Happy New Year to you guys in Australia!

Looks like LaMelo might silence the bust talk earlier than I thought. For now, he just wrote history when posting a triple double against the Hawks to become the youngest player in the NBA that has done that.
Ok, it was just Atlanta, a team that is struggling the last couple of games and also lost Bogdanovic early in the game. But still, doing this in just over 30 minutes of playing time while being effective, is impressive. He also had the best plus minus.
I'm curious to see if he can back that up, although he already played way better lately anyway.

Blow it up, Atlanta. You're not winning anything with this core if they can't even defend against a stat padding scrub.

Yeah, I also thought of MCW as a possible role model for LaMelo. Right now, LaMelo seems to be a lock for ROY, but I wouldn't Wiseman out yet.

LaMelo didn't respect most of the guys in the NBBL it seemed. He is thriving in the NBA. Rookie of the year last season and is essentially averaging 20/8/8 right now. He will be an all-star in the next few seasons and will definitely be an All-NBA caliber guard in his career.

Clearly the NBA is a bush league. The next expansion team should just sign all of the best players in the Euroleague and show the complacent Americans who can't guard a chucker how to play real defence and team basketball :P.

Yeah the rule changes and defensive play this season is so much more enjoyable to watch and the flow of the game is much better. Love it!
