Griff has fricked up plenty but at the end of the day we had Zion, BI, CJ, Murray, Herb, Trey, Missi.

Any star worth a shite would be winning a ton of games with that supporting cast.

The disappointment of the last 6 years falls squarely on Zion imo.

We still have a crater in the paint. We aren't stopping anyone from exploit our front court. Even when got mostly healthy for a brief stretch, teams were exploiting our deficiency. Health won't change that.

Zion has scored more points than minutes played in 5 of his last 6 games. He is dominating. Trey is dominating. The problems are: Zion is playing between 25-28 min a night and when he is on the bench we have Javante Green or JRE playing. Our center position and rotation is two rookies. We knew going into the season that it would be bad but we truly do have the worst center rotation in the league.

bullshite. Zion is playing 27 fricking minutes rn in the best shape he's been in over 2 years and he's dominating.

We just needed health. And two of the most durable guys in the league (murray and herb) both went down with season ending shite.


Come on man, you can't seriously think this team is good enough to win ore than a first round series even if healthy. That "run it back" mindset/thinking this team is good enough is what has the team in a bind in the first place. And it is legit dub to even remotely hope, much less believe this core group of guys could ever be healthy. At least not in Nola with this training staff.

Trading BI was one step in the right direction.

I actually think his signature move was CJ. He largely inherited the AD trade.

CJ was the biggest move he originated with a clear vision of what he wanted for this team.

And that move has largely amounted to nothing but wasted time.

If it's hard to fathom, you're not paying attention to history with this owner.

She'll never fire Loomis or Griff. They're here until she's dead and gone.

Same. It’s legitimately depressing as a fan. It’s evaporated my interest in basketball in general. It’s not like we haven’t sucked before, but this just feels different. Idk what to even say anymore..

I disagree, our backcourt was the worse in the league, much like our center position is now. He chased Paul and Lowery and ended up with Graham.

CJ just kinda fell in his lap. He was an obtainable asset that didn’t cost much,
