That can NOT happen. The majority of our games have been essentially one score. This is coaching malpractice. Even if you put to the side the players quitting on him, his lack of a scheme and focus on three point shooting etc. What does Hawkins do better than Fears? Not defense, not shooting, ball handling, nothing. Fears could have played 34 minutes. What are we doing?

1 is not like the other.

Fears had a bad game defensively, but queen was crushing them.

Matkovich is all over the highlight video.. better pull him late in the game to make sure veterans get their minutes in a loss

Green doesn't like Matkovic. Never has. Always find a reason to sit him. Only plays him when he absolutely has to.

yeah Hawkins is dogshit and shouldn’t play at all. That’s the point of the thread. He has no future here. Why play him as many minutes as our future

You're right, but we won. At least be a little happy.

We are also the first team ever to lose by 30 points in three of their first six games

I want a fears/herb/trey/queen/Karlo lineup tonight.

Karlo and Queen need more minutes. Looney has been a disaster and Deandre Jordan can’t be getting minutes in the year 2025.

Queen, Jose and Karlo were fantastic. What an unlikely group. Was fun to watch them.

Queen had 6 minutes through the first three quarters, and Willie had no choice but to play him the entire 4th last night.

And it really pisses me off. Karlo has all the tools we’d want in a 5. He just needs minutes to work on rebounding and defense.

The energy he brings to our team is badly needed. Hes one of the few on our team that I legitimately feel like hes giving his all when hes out there.

Those guys and Bey should be our bench.

Young players, especially rookies, often tend to be a liability on the court. When a coach's job is on the line, they typically lean toward playing veteran players who are generally seen as less likely to make critical mistakes. Willie is under pressure to prove himself as a coach, so it’s not surprising that he is prioritizing veterans over younger players. Historically, he has not been one to give significant playing time to rookies. Hopefully, Dumars will force Willie to include Queen and Fears in the lineup more often.

If he wants to save his job he need to play Karlo and Queen more.

This is such a quandary I want the Pelicans to win but I want the coach gone.
