YES I AM SHOUTING. God I can't stand this tomfoolery, arse show of a performance anymore. Davis isn't going to stay here if we are a lottery team every year. Monty teams at least played hard and made the playoffs!!

Gentry was never a proven winner, and he still won't be.

I quite literally mustered all the boom in my voice after the Canadian anthem from the upper deck. So yes, I am with you.

Do you guys not see yet how you keep screaming to get rid of this player and get that one. Or get rid of this GM or get rid of this coach....... always thinking that the answer is right around the corner?

IT NEVER WILL BE. The core of the apple is rotten. And you guys keep talking about cutting off the bruises that you can see on the outside. I mean, I don't even want credit or a pat on the back or a "you were/are right".... but just tell me that you guys actually see that now. Please, let me know that you guys at least acknowledge reality.

Crewz, what do you want from us? We can't force Tom Benson to give us an actual POBO. We can't force Loomis to give a shite. We can't stop Dell from giving out stupid arse contracts. We can however pick a perfect moment of dead silence to let the arena hear what most are thinking. That's about the best we can do. Just saying, "well hey we suck let me just be happy with that cause it is what it is" is absurd.

There are a hundred coaches out there better than this clown and if my piece of fruit can go from rotten to barely edible than that's better than rotten.

I just want the anger to be focused on the right place. Yes, Gentry is bad. Yes, Dell has made a few more bad moves than good ones, but every organization in every business lives or dies by its leadership at the top. Can we change it? No. But that doesn't mean you don't recognize it as the main culprit.

There should be more "sell the team, Benson" threads than "Fire Gentry" threads IMO. Because you can't control either, so at least advocate for the thing with the bigger impact

Benson selling the team has a very high likelihood of relocation. Stern had to beg him to buy it to keep it here in the first place. I also whole heartedly disagree that a competent GM/coach combo couldn't make this work out with Benson writing blank checks.

Benson's a problem insofar that it seems he'll never fire Loomis.

We've watched Loomis basically set money on fire post-Super Bowl. Year after the at the top of the league in payroll, for crap results. The bad spending extended to the Pelicans too

I think Benson would be fine we people in charge who actually knew what they were doing with his money.

Gentry said he likes having the combination of Asik and Ajinca at the center spot because it provides him with desired flexibility with his rotations. Gentry likes Asik's rebounding ability and Ajinca's ability to step out of the post to take shots but also score near the basket.

''The center position is covered,'' Gentry said.

Does anybody know what kind of offense this team runs??? shite is infuriating watching AD and Boogie hang out by the three point line while someone launches a prayer of a three and four people from the other team are waiting for the rebound. I don't get it at all.

If we can't control the outcome, then why would we advocate for Benson selling the team instead of advocating for Benson to bring in a great GM/POBO/Coach who will run a top notch organization?

Joe dean was LSU's AD throughout the 1990's. His last hire? Nick Saban. Never say never

Am I still going to get downvoted 20 to 1 for pointing out that we are worse after the trade then we were before it.

that doesn't mean I don't like the trade it just means that we're not as good a basketball team for the remainder of this year as we were

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the main reason you're being downvoted is because you're SirWinston, you've been dead over half a century and aren't nearly the diplomat and statesman you were while you were alive.

Kidding aside, once you've been branded as a troll there's pretty much no going back.
