Willie's in a no win situation. If the team is healthy, we'll be good, and people will act like its all because of Borrego's "genius." If the team is injured, we wont be good and "Willie sucks".

We already have 3 rotation players out.

And Zion's playing preseason games with a fricking gut after claiming he was following Lebron James workout plan. bullshite.

I agree with all of this. Willie is in a tough spot. And I mostly feel bad for him bc he was dealt a loony POBO, along with 2 star players that don’t play many games and don’t naturally mesh together on or off the court.

It is disappointing that Zion still hasn’t figured out that playing at 285 is not the best way to maximize his basketball career, no matter how nice his biceps look.

I like Willie and hes a nice guy but this team needs a kick in the arse. With that kind of effort, next preseason game I wouldnt even start the starters to embarrass them. But thats what happens with guys that are player coaches like Willie- eventually immature players like Zion and BI do whatever they want. If your top two guys are not setting a great example of how to play the right way - I agree with the other posters- it sets up a player’s coach like Willie to fail.

“Right here?”
- I wasn’t even referring to you but interesting that you see yourself as sunshine pumping pelicans fan. Its not something I would be proud of and honestly kind of embarrassing. But hey if you like seeing a D- effort from your bball team in any competitive event and think it doesn’t matter totally up to you.

- I didn’t post that today. Go ahead and pull up the date which you conveniently forgot to post. I posted this week probably but thats not today- I’m sorry that doesn’t fit your a little overreaction narrative. You criticize the people posting and so called whining on this site. This team had 20 turnovers at half when majority of the starters played but of course its preseason so just forget it lol I didn’t mind the orlando loss but im sorry this was embarrassing. And Im not going to just ignore the lack of effort. And I still agree it is our time to shut everyone the frick up - but not if we cant give basic effort in a basketball game. But its ok according to you its preseason we should ignore it and not whine and just be positive pumping pussies like yourself.

So what are we suppose to do cheer for a team that cant give basic effort in a basketball game?

Would you rather a fan blog after loss be filled with threads like “Hey guys its ok we’ll get them next time!” If your looking for positivity after a sports team plays like shite and gives no effort you shouldn’t go on any team sports blog then.

yeah blame the fans. It’s our fault. We should be happy and have fun with what this team has done the past 4 years

If everything goes to shite this season (sub .500, no playoffs), we are going full rebuild. In that case, I think everyone goes. Maybe we keep some young pieces like Murphy. But nobody is untouchable.

It's my belief that is where we are heading. So I'm not that upset or surprised if/when it happens.

honesty the reset should’ve happened during the draft. We had Scoot in our hands, but Greedy Griff wouldn’t do the deal without Shaedon Sharpe


Maybe. But the team wanted to give it another try. I can't blame them for that. The elements are there for a good team. We've never seen it all come together. I doubt it ever will. But it's worth giving it one last go..

So it’s not just me. Like a month ago Zion was looking good but I swear it seemed like he got thicker the last 2 weeks.

F'ing exactly

I figured we'd have some incessant whining during the season but it was wayyyyy overboard for a preseason game last night.

I'd prefer he has healthy players, that would probably be help more than a "kick in the arse"

Blessedly, I don’t care about and don’t often watch preseason games in basketball or football.
