Jeremy Lamb is, clearly, the second banana, banana number two if you will, in Charlotte. Kemba Walker is far and away the first banana when it comes to putting the ball in the hole. Lamb is averaging a full 10 points less than Kemba, but he’s still clearly the second banana because only two other…

Jeremy Lamb 22 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2019)
I’m looking at the list right now, and I’m thinking Jeremy Lamb might be the most anonymous NBA player to be averaging 15 points per game this year. There are 71 such players; the only other ones who might be close are… Collin Sexton? He’s a rookie, so people should know about him. Malcolm Brogdon?…

Jeremy Lamb’s 24th point came with 9 minutes to go in the third quarter. After that point, the only thing he did was try and pretend he was a point guard (here’s a hint Germy: you’re not) and pick up 6 stupid assists. It’s great that players sometimes try to add things to their game,…

Jeremy Lamb has been playing pretty well as a starter this season. For a long time I maintained that he could be the Hornets’ second option behind Kemba Walker, and guess what? I was right. He might be one of the least-potent “second options” in the league, but it’s not a total disaster, and the…

Everyone gives OKC crap for trading away James Harden in his prime, trading away Serge Ibaka in his prime, not retaining Royal Ivey after signing him to a 10-day contract, letting Caron Butler walk, but no one ever talks about how they messed up by trading Jeremy Lamb for frickin’ LUKE RIDNOUR (who they then…

I’m looking right now at all the NBA players averaging 15 points per game, and it’s challenging my hypothesis that Jeremy Lamb was the quietest 15 ppg scorer this year. I was like “man, I bet no one besides Hornets fans and maybe some OKC stragglers realize how good he’s doing this year”, and I’m…

Since I have transcended such mindless human distractions as “sports team alliances”, I feel absolutely no anger or frustration after the Bucks’ loss to the Hornets. And even if I did feel some of those emotions in the immediate aftermath of the loss, I definitely wouldn’t be feeling them now, nine hours later. Absolutely not….

You know, I’ve always secretly thought that Jeremy Lamb should be the second banana on the Hornets behind Kemba Walker. I’ve thought this for a long time. Ever since he’s been on the Hornets, basically. Even his first year there, when he was the sixth banana behind Walker, Batum, Jefferson, Williams, and Lin, I thought…

Wow, I was getting all ready to say that the Hornets were maybe kinda good this year, and they go and lose to the Cavaliers? That sets them way back in my eyes. They could win their next 10 games and I’d be like “yeah that’s pretty cool, but remember when they lost to the…

Jeremy Lamb has been in Charlotte for a long time now. Four years, has it really been that long? It seems like just last week he was being picked up as a reclamation project from an unsuccessful stint with the Thunder. That team apparently has made a habit of trading away great players for no…
