re: Pelicans - most disappointing team in NBA

Half a season last year
No offseason
Barely any practice
Games every other day for months

I never expected them to make the playoffs this year. I wanted development more than anything. They found out ALOT about what they have moving forward. That to me was always more important than barely squeaking into the playoffs and getting waxed.

This team wasn’t ready this year. It was Zions “rookie” season.

Like we all knew what this team would be. I just don’t get the hand wringing. We have a real, full offseason for anyone on this roster with this team now for the first time since after the 2019 season. Griffin said last night Kira didn’t even play real basketball for going on 7-8 months before getting to us.

I mean you guys can be goddamn miserable all the time or start appreciating the NECESSARY team building steps it will take to build this the right way.
