Where does the next win come from without LaMelo?
Next 15:
Nets Wolves Heat 2x Pelicans Sixers Raptors Pacers Nuggets Clippers Lakers Suns Nuggets Kings
Genuine question, where does the next win come from? The Hornets are double digit underdogs in at least 10 of those games without LaMelo and I do not see where the W comes from. It’s the NBA and we can get hot from 3, anything can happen, sure, but I genuinely don’t feel confident about a single win from the next 15 with Melo out.
We are 10th in FG% within 3 feet basket and the team who takes the 4th most shots there. LaMelo is a capable finisher now, Terry has been a good finisher this season, Miles is a great finisher, Miller is a great finisher for a rookie, PJ can finish, both Nick and Mark are serious lob threats.
