re: Borrego 1 of 2 main targets for Cavaliers following firing of Bickerstaff

Also facts-

Over the past 2 seasons, the Pels have a higher win% in the 55 games BI missed than they do in the 109 games he played.

Why did Zion have the presser with the quote of him taking a backseat and just trying to fit in

Zions press conference was completely out of line and unprofessional. We were 9 games into the season and he had played in less than 30 games the previous 2 years. He had no business saying all that in a press conference less than 10 games into the season.

Also, you realize that Zion was directing those comments towards the coaching staff and Borrego, and not towards BI right? You’re using that press conference to attack BI and defend Borrego, but Zion was throwing the coaching staff under the bus, he wasn’t talking about BI.

Provide a link to those rumors about Brandon and Boreggo

There’s no links from anyone credible. While I agree that BI’s weird mid range obsession was definitely an issue, I think it’s silly to say that we completely abandoned Borrego’s offense because of BI.

This individual was a credentialed member of the pelicans media this season who reported this. But I’m sure this won’t be credible enough for some of you.

Oh, that young man. I tried listening to his pod once or twice until he went in on 10 minute rant about a game and then in the same pod admitted he hadn’t watched the game. If that’s the source, well I just don’t know what to tell you. Look, I’m not opposed to improving the team by moving on from players, but geez talk facts instead of ‘mean girl’ gossip.

Not relevant to the question.


Let's try again... Why did Zion have the presser with the quote of him taking a backseat and just trying to fit in?

quote:

---

But oh you’ll say BI was injured- well lets like you say start with facts- BI was healthy enough to play and was horrible during the time the team needed him the most

---

Ok, Dr. Welby

He was a general practitioner not a psychiatrist so you need to be more accurate in your 1969 TV doctor comparisons lol

Nah, I was referring to your contention that I’d say BI was injured, implying that you obviously think he wasn’t and just got handled. Point being both Zion and BI didn’t end the season healthy which you correctly stated was the most important time of the year. Now if you want to move off one or the other due to them not being able to stay healthy and available, that seems to me reasonable. But to start spitballing mutinous behavior when facts clearly don’t substantiate that position in order to usher one or the other out the door is where I take issue. Particularly from the ‘mean girl’ bloggers/podcasters who clearly don’t know what the heck they’re talking about. Good catch on the Dr. Welby shout out …. sometimes I have to remember everyone is not an old fart like me ….lol.

Help me understand the logic of your #1 option clearly not happy and giving quotes about taking a backseat

---

I and others didn’t take the presser as a shot at BI more having him him stashed on the short corner. A lot of that had to do with him being out of shape the first half of the year. To his credit he got himself into shape the second half of the year, but you have to admit complaining about your role when you’re 35 pounds overweight is a bit much.

In regards to him being the number one option, clearly CJ didn’t see it that way as he averaged the most shots. It was always about point Zion and when the reins were clearly handed over to him at the ASB the team didn’t improve markedly, and now most can see point Zion is not a system due to ballhandling, 3 point shooting and durability issues. Additionally, like LeBron and Giannis it wont attract players to come here so they can just sit in a corner waiting on a kick-out.

Not bagging on Zion because he’s uber talented, just misused like BI. Adults need to step in and maximize their effectiveness as elite finishers and secondary playmakers. This organization though shies away from those coversations, acquiesces to their stars, and sits on their hands in getting the requisite help. I like CJ, but him leading the team in FGA is criminal. Seems like Pels are now on board with bringing in a lead facilitator and modern post. Just a shame they’re three years late in making moves anyone could see that were needed long ago.

But, by all means, continue to spitball shite why BI is a malcontent and not a good fit, pasing the buck for poor organizational decisions.
