And it’s not all on Gentry.

We were a little too enthusiastic about our young roster. The team has some growing pains to endure, as do we. The younger kids are still learning. Vets like Jrue and Favors can only do so much. Not to blow my own horn, but I saw this coming miles away. Let’s check back in after the break and see where we are. It may very well take that much time. Yeah it sucks, but we’re on the right track and I’m far better shape than a few years ago. Sorry, just thinking out loud. I want a winner like everyone else does, but I’ve resigned myself to allowing this current team to develop. If you want Gentry gone, therehad better be a good replacement available and willing without delay.

Yeah just hand finch the keys and be done with it. Then find your coach in the offseason.

I don’t understand the rationale of letting a loser coach your young team for a couple of years. That’s so damn stupid.

New Orleans Pelicans fans (not all, but most) are the personification of the "instant gratification" times we are living in. Good thing most of you weren't around in the 70's and 80's as Saints fans, probably would have killed yourselves.

Like little kids at Christmas time. "I want to open it now", "Can we open presents?" "Why do we have to wait?" "We're never going to get to open them?

+1 kneejerk "analysis" to fire the coach after every loss is tiresome, but here we are. Gentry has holes. A new coach may do some things better, some worse, the players matter much more.

This team was projected to win ~40 games. This isn't a video game. Players need time to trust each other and their coaches. They have a good mix, they need Zion back. They'll be fine and I would guess they end up somewhere around 40 wins.

What's wrong with the Pelicans?

- 2nd worst def. rating (116.6)
- Worst def. rebounding (64.8%)
- Most FGAs by opponents 0-5 feet (43.8)
- 10th most wide open 3-pointers allowed (17.8 3PA)

One side of floor has been shop of horrors.

Jrue has made this team worse. Wtf you talking about “can only do so much”. That’s laughable
