Because Zion getting playoff experience makes him a better player and is the best pathway to getting a title. If you don’t understand your best player getting playoff experience leads to the organization eventually getting to a title then I don’t know what to tell you.

What? Where in there did I say that Zion getting playoff experience is bad for the team/him? You're the one that wants the team to miss the playoffs

I mean it's like you're not even able to follow your own line of reasoning at this point.

quote:
The fact that you act like the 2018 pels/blazers first round brought you this immense joy just shows what kind of low expectations you have for this organization which honestly is nothing short o

O gtfo don't try to turn your loser mentality on me when I'm the one who wants to see the team win while you're trying to pretend a couple spots in the draft matters more. That's more depressing than watching the team you root for win playoff games. How do you not understand that?

quote:
People get pissed when they say what separates organizations like the heat, lakers or celtics from us- it’s exactly this. Our fans get excited about first round series wins while other fans find that as a failure. If WE as fans dont change our expectations then dont complain when they keep giving you the same mediocre product.

This has to be one of the worst arguments I've ever seen made on this board. What separates us from the Lakers, is that our fans got excited for a first round playoff win, as opposed to you, who want the team to lose. Damn, if we could all only be like you and ROOT AGAINST the team, we'd be true fans and then be just like the Lakers! Wow! It's like a veil has been lifted off my eyes and now I see the light on how to become a true fan and totally elevate this franchise and make them more enjoyable to watch. All I had to do was root against my team this whole time.

Because LONG TERM it makes no sense to be in the playoffs without Zion. Not everyone is short sighted as you. You get a lower pick and in the grand scheme it does nothing for this team other than put money in Gayles pockets and less pressure to make actual changes.

What are you talking about lol. You’re spewing nonsense. What separates them are expectations. Pelicans fans expectations are low. The other teams fans are not. Period.

Im not rooting against my team- why can’t you understand that? Im saying its better long term if they don’t make the playoffs.

You’ve turned this from what ls better for this team long term to Im rooting against them.

Go get excited for the first round, then we lose and you can bitch and complain that this team won’t win a title. Rinse, wash and repeat.
