So you don't think there are head coaches out there than could manage this better Crewz? Yes there are several layers, and yes there are others who have responsibility in this, but he's the head guy.

Hell, I don't expect to win an NBA title with this team but I gotta think we could do better and I really believe there has to be at least a few guys out there who could manage that and would even come coach the Pels.

I think Gentry's resume as a head coach before he was here indicates it's not just here and not just with Boogie that there is reason to reasonably consider that he is at the very least as significant part of the problem.

I don't blame the coaches except for the lack of discipline handed out.

Nut up and bench his arse in the fourth if he's tired, turning the ball over, etc. He shouldn't have played one minute of overtime last night.

This is why I didn't want to see him come to New Orleans, talented player, but a lot of baggage which is why Divac got rid of him to the Pels. I had rather they had gone another direction, but when you have a fool like Dell Demps directing that team, you can expect that. Demps has just made boneheaded decision after boneheaded decision giving away first round picks like candy, and resigning and overpaying Asik's when he should have traded him when he was playing well, now he's hurt and impossible to get rid of and that is dead money to me. Ajinca is another one hardly used and hurt mostly that is making really good money. Lol Demps is even paying subs like Moore 8.5 mil a season and Hill even more at 12.5 mil, do you think they are worth that?? Lmao He's overpaid for Holiday, who as of late has played much better, but still isn't worth all star money imo. Gentry is a terrible coach with a flawed philopshy, the whole thing is a side show, I just wonder how long does AD stay there which I don't wanna see happen, but.....

Like Fizzle did and got fired immediately for?

There are very few coaches who will win a battle with a star. See: All the guys Boogie got fired.

Of course there are guys that could do better than Gentry. Just like there are guys who wouldn't steal your girl even if given the chance.

But that still doesn't mean your girl gets less blame. SHE is the core problem.

I think that if Boogie went to a place where there was an awesome coach, a 20 year culture of not putting up with BS. A player or two as good as him or better, THEN he would change.

That aint happening here. Even if you fire Gentry and bring in some other flawed coach.

That was also in the middle of an 8 game losing streak and gasol has the respect of ownership having been with the team far longer than Fizdale.


Boogie hasn't played 82 games for us yet and we've already benched him in the past and he didn't act pissy in public then.

It was clear to everyone last night in that building that he shouldn't have been out there in overtime yet Al couldn't reach down and find his nuts.

Coaches are there to make the tough decision needed to win. If he gets fired for benching a player with 8 turnovers running on fumes I'll stop being a pelicans fan.

If he doesn't play Boogie and they lost, EVERYONE says he's an idiot and should be fired. National media would say, "How could you bench an MVP candidate?"

Again, Boogie is the core problem. You guys just try to find ways around it because it is easier to replace Gentry than Boogie. But the truth is the truth

Demarcus Cousins is like Popeyes Chicken. It's fricking delicious but the customer service and wait times are problems that has persisted forever without remedy. If someone were to get through to them and fix the service, you would have a powerhouse GOAT quick service restaurant.

Until then you can enjoy the chicken but pay for it with ignorant employees and watery shits

So, if everyone supposedly knows he is the problem and not Gentry, why haven't they moved him to try and recoup some assets?

This team is 13 - 13. A lot of people who are up in arms after every loss seem to be confusing under achieving with being a miserable failure. This is a playoff team and the season will be seen as a success by most. What is the motivation for trading Cousins for a GM on the hotseat?

Cousins for Porter might work out, but can you truly say the ceiling is higher? I don't think so, but I do think you can say the floor is lower. Recoup some assets and possibly miss the playoffs just from the disruption to roles and chemistry, or keep DoingItBig, make the playoffs and maybe get an extension. That's why they aren't trading Cousins this season.

How about cousins and holiday for wall and porter. I'll even throw in diallo

Seriously though, cousins has played fine with rondo on the court controlling things. Maybe it's the fact we have low iq players and we need someone who can actually play point? Someone to demand the ball and say get your arse in the spot and I will set you up.

Is it? You have to figure that OKC will figure it out eventually. Assuming they do, it’s a three team race for two spots with Denver, Pels, and Utah.

Portland has played one of the easiest, home heavy schedules in the league. The only playoff caliber teams they've beaten are the Pels, OKC, Wizards, and Pacers. They have losses to the Kings and Nets, they'll be fighting at the back of the pack too.

Also, Denver is about to hit a pretty challenging stretch of their schedule without Millsap and for some of it no Jokic. They'll be lucky to be above .500 in 10 games.

I just don’t know that they’re definitely a playoff team. Other teams’ schedules may be getting difficult, but it’s still 9 teams fighting for 8 spots. I don’t think there’s any guarantee that the Pels are better than the 4 or so teams they’ll be battling.

Clearly a long term injury to AD will hurt them, but considering the field got cut from 11 to 9 pretty quickly, I like the Pels chances with who they're still battling against.
