I know hes not. Its something we all pelican fans have to realize. Can he still be great- sure. I’m just not sure if he will reach their level but that doesn’t mean he cant be a big part of us winning.

Team needs an Alpha. BI ain’t it. If they are going to keep trying to force it down our throat, I’d rather trade him and start Trey. CJ also needs to take control. It’s like he’s trying to let BI shine but he ain’t him. He’ll never be him.

We’re getting close to January. Trade deadline is coming midFeb. I cant see Griff going into the tax with this team. Will be very interesting to see what he does.

Trey needs to show he can be consistent first.

He disappears way too much.

First and biggest problem is a bad coach.
Willie has proven he's either not ready or will never be ready.

Zion has played 100 something games. You can put the blame where ya want. Still, the fact remains the same. Our best players have played 30 something games together soo.. There is a learning curve to get around. Still, Willie sucks. And doesn't want any of the blame. Playing Dyson at the end of the game was the dumbest ish I have seen from a pels coach in some time. Zion dribble off his foot while getting mugged is understandable. Unless your name is Chad. Lebron gets that call every night. Rants

Nobody fricks up a good opportunity quite like the Pels.

Embarrassing loss to a team that was 2-10 on the road and on a B2B.


The "it's just 1 game" losses keep piling up.

That team is better than ours. The roster is not but they are really well coached. The ball movement is terrific. They make nice cuts and their team defense is unbelievable.

I think you can officially close the book on that. We're 30 games in.

Willie has too many options. Coaches better when he barely has enough talent and has to maximize what he got.

You've got 52 games to grow and get better.

I've been trying to stay even keel all season through the wins and losses.

We still have a winning record and zion cj and Ingram are healthy.

We all said this is the make or break year for this core, so I'm giving it the full year before saying it's all over.

I'm not doing a good job of this lately

Some of the red flags resenting themselves are alarming for our top 2 players and coaching.

Yep, but I've seen Willie grow as a coach before. He got us a winning record last year with awful health. We still have a winning record, and now this team is struggling with handling success. It seems like we always play like arse after a blowout win. Makes no sense. They have to grow from that.

After tonight's game, of 5 man lineups that have played 100 min, the Pels starters rank the 8th worst in the NBA. 3 of the 7 lineups worst than the Pels are another team's starters - the Warriors, Pistons, and the Bulls. All 3 teams have changed those starting lineups now.

Hes good but he also shoots 30% from 3, isn’t some crazy triple double machine and is OK at free throws. Imagine if we decided to build solely around JV. Wild takes indeed lol

Hmmm but god forbid we say to put Trey in the starting lineup.

I mean in tonight’s episode of “stupid coaching by Willie” he decided to give minutes to JRE and none to Herb. If Herb aint that important, just put Trey in as a starter. Willie is completely lost in regards to rotations right now.

Some of the question Willie was responsible for that ten game losing streak and our struggles due to again the hesitancy of inserting Trey into the starting lineup or having any form of an offense. If BI didn’t decide to go nuclear late last year, who knows how bad that record would be.
