Refer back to this post once you are tired of the mediocrity of this franchise sir

I’ve been here all through Demps, its tough to get anymore mediocre than that. Actual Fans Typically don’t run away because times get tough during a rebuild. I sat through 3 straight 100 loss seasons for one of my team’s rebuilds, and they’ve been to 2 World Series the last 3 years.

Also, this rebuild is one that is actually building through the draft and youth, you know, like all successful rebuilds that have ever occurred. That shite we were doing with Demps was not a rebuild. He traded away every pick he could. It was an unorganized mess that the entire NBA agreed was stupid.

Just find a new team dude, you don’t seem to care for anything the team is about anyway

I second that opinion.

Since it's David Griffin's first year, it seems highly unlikely that you've been hearing this for 20 years.

1.We have one of the dumbest names in the league

In a league where the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers and the Utah Jazz exists its impossible for any other team to have the dumbest name. Pelicans are actually a badass mascot.

2. We have one on the dumbest Mantra's in the league

Given everything that went down last off-season and the general attitude of NOLA, Won't Bow Down was a perfect slogan. The whole drum thing was dumb af though.

3.We have one of the worst coaches in the league

Correct.

4.The league gave us Zion a "Hail Mary" to a failing small market franchise that traded their star player.

Okay. Thanks NBA I'll enjoy watching him 20-82 games a year.

5.Our starting 5 are not going to play well enough to ever take us far because their personalities combined are not championship level.

---

Completely, wholeheartedly, undisputedly, fully disagree. When the starting 5 are clicking they are one of the best teams in the league and can compete with anyone. We need a C and the starting 5 is a contending starting 5.

Nailed the first three. I’m still dumbfounded that we had a golden opportunity to rebrand to the New Orleans VooDoo. Would have been an epic rebrand and the longing for the Jazz name would all but disappear.

We would have sold so much gear if done correctly. Imagine Zion in VooDoo jerseys...Pelicans, even though the color scheme is ok, just make me wish we would have stayed as the Hornets or get the Jazz name back. A Pelican is just a goofy looking bird that doesn’t go anywhere. Guess it kinda fits the organization though.

The name change has been an epic failure about as much as rolling with Uncle Al again next season would be......

The NBA has dumbass names like the Wizards, the Magic, the fricking Knickerbockers, and you are complaining about the Pelicans? If you don't like the name, blame George Shinn for not doing the deal where we got the Jazz name back, Charlotte got the Hornets back, and we both paid to rebrand Utah.

Not me, I love the Pelicans name. It's unique and fitting for the state. I appreciate that, like the Spurs, Rockets, Suns, Pistons, etc.

The dumbest of all is the Nets, which was picked because it rhymes with Jets and Mets and there is a net on the goal.
