With the somewhat high expectations going in..only to have two of our better players out for most of the year and we end up looking just as bad as last season. What makes it even more depressing is that even though we'll have one of the worst records in the league, we probably won't be able to keep our pick.

Disappointing but understandable. Losing Ryan Anderson, Holliday, and Smith are pretty big blows. Anderson was our leading scorer when he went down, Holliday was relatively consistent and our assist leader, Smith was a consistent 10-14 a night. Tough to replace that.

It sucks, but you can't expect a young team like the Pelicans to be able to overcome the injuries they had this season. Plus our coach alone appears to have cost us some games with the strangest rotations ever. I think healthy this team would be in the hunt for a playoff spot. You also have to realize that the West took an extreme jump forward with the West being by far the stronger conference. If the Pelicans were healthy and in the East they would easily make the playoffs.

Maybe we get lucky and get to keep our pick, but regardless I think there is still a good outlook with the future of the Davis-Holiday duo.

The year before we drafted AD was still worse.

You shouldn't be that depressed about the season, we have a decent team but injuries have made us bad.

With a healthy lineup, another year of playing together and hopefully a new coach that's worth a shite, this team can be really good.

It could be worse, we could have no hope in sight for years, now that is depressing.
