re: Pelicans have the best coach in the league

You have no idea if this is true, you just sound like you’re projecting. Nobody is happy with losing early in the playoffs every year. But there’s a difference between being realistic and unrealistic. Nothing wrong with being satisfied with losing a hard fought series in the 2nd round to the nuggets this year. Pels actually winning consistently year to year is a huge accomplishment and never has been done here before. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying that. It doesn’t mean I don’t want to win titles, it just means I’m being realistic and don’t want to fire the coach or blow up the roster if we don’t make the conference finals this year.

I remember literally people saying the exact same thing when the saints hired Sean Payton. “Benson won’t spend enough to get us over the hump, management is OK with being good not great”. Yet we won the Super Bowl a couple years later because we continued to build up the roster and didn’t over react to a disappointing loss or season.

Pels are doing the same. We’re on pace to have a top 5 season since they moved to New Orleans. Try to enjoy it instead of projecting whatever insecurities you have.
