Herb absolutely has to be in the game. Willie has to get his head out of his arse. Rotations or terrible

This team will never be able to be a good team if we have Jonas and Graham on defense every game. They are both pathetic, especially in pick n roll and handoffs. Even if we had Zion, we’d basically have to be perfect on offense to win a high amount of games.

Well, starting with the Dallas game, we absolutely needed to go 4-2 in the 6 games before Milwaukee if they wanted any hope of gaining ground.

We are about to be 2-3

Im not looking at standings again until were either in the play in or Zion comes back. No sense otherwise.

Our biggest issue has been large scoring droughts, which leads to sloppy offense, which leads to turnovers, which leads to bad defense.

When they've played good offense they've played good/great defense just from the confidence gained.

Graham just isnt a good player. He’s an undersized PG who isnt good at running an offense, can’t play any defense, and is a average at best shooter

Just think Zion with another surgery, more time to eat ice cream. He’s going to be as big as the refrigerator

Devonte Graham just summed up our season and David Griffin in one play just now

These layups ar3 ridiculous

No matter what coach we have, other teams just seem to always have their best night against us and make scoring the ball look so damn easy

Not to start the "I told ya so" stuff, but it felt like most people during the offseason hadn't actually watched Graham in any real capacity. He was being hyped up as this mini Trae Young type of FA steal, and he is just not that.

He has one above average skill for his position and that is catch and shoot threes. He doesn't finish at the rim well, run offense In the half court well(hence why he was moved to the bench in Cha and the team thrived with Melo and Rozier running things). He passes well, but not in the creating for others sense. And a lot of his shot selection is poor and dependent on him being "on" that night.

Ideally we are able to move him to the bench and start some other point guard and shooting guard combo.

I think people including myself were just trying to be optimistic. DG is bad and Griff blew by not resigning Lonzo. This is gonna be a real long rest of the season

I try to be positive and support all the guys, even if they suck. I actually rooted for Solomon Hill. But I just can't with Satoransky.

He us officially my least favorite Pelican/Hornet of all time. I hate the way he plays with a passion. He is useless. It's basically 4 on 5 with him on the court. Willie has to let someone else run backup point, he has to see how bad he is.

He's a 6th man thrust into a starting PG role...

His best playing position is coming off the bench, but since CP3 and Lowry spurned us in the offseason he was the next best available.

Until they get a lead guard, this is what this team is.

I wouldn't say he is bad, but he's not built to be a team's lead guard.

If he were coming off the bench where on nights like this you could ramp down his minutes so he isn't hurting you, ramp them up when he's hot, I think most people would love him.

We just have an overall talent deficit at the guard positions and it really hurts.

I remember a time not too long ago where we felt the December schedule was favorable... Good times.
