re: Has this board really given up on Missi?
Posted by ThePistol on 7/2/26 at 4:46 am to whatiknowsofar
Asking Missi to step into a starting role for a team wanting to win means the season is over before it starts. He would be the worst starting center in the entire western conference. When he flashed last year it was primarily against bench units in short bursts. The center spot is the single biggest reason that this team has fallen off a cliff the last two seasons. To run it back with the same undersized group is insane.

If we can turn Poole and Hawk into a starting NBA center, Joe better not think twice.
Kuzma has been very, very bad. I don’t want anything to do with him. I can’t believe anyone else does.
Missi can’t score unless it is assisted near the rim. He really struggles with guarding bigger centers. He is also a below average defensive rebounder. That is just simply too much to expect him to improve in one offseason. Missi needs to be the 15 minute a game guy if they actually want to compete.
I couldn’t disagree more. If we don’t get a starting center, the season is over before it starts. Wemby, Sengun, Gafford, Lively. That’s just our division. We have the worst center play in the league. It puts us at such a disadvantage in most games. This will be the third straight season of not having a real center. That is inexcusable.
Bagley does nothing to address our huge, gaping hole at center. He just continues our NBA worst center rotation.
At a minimum, this team has to get a real NBA center on the roster. They are doomed before the season even starts if they don't get a center. The Pelicans have talent, but they are not good enough to offset a league worst rotation at an important position.
Hey Joe, you do realize that you could have had Nate Ament this year with the #8 pick, correct? I hope that no one even answers his calls. Please, please ignore the phone call. We need to catch a break.

The lack of shooting on this team is inexcusable.
DQ’s defense tonight has also been inexcusable. I mean that inbounds defense was comical.

This team has to get shooters. They came out and played hard last night. They were doing a lot of good things initially. Zion was was very good and aggressive. However, as the game moved on they just lost the math game Portland became less and less concerned with literally everyone other than Zion. Clingan and Williams simply did not care about their man and guys like Peavy, Poole, Fears, Jose, McGowans, and Hawkins just weren’t able to make shots. At one point we were 3/20 and they were 14/35 from 3. It is impossible to win like that. We need competent shooting in the worst way. It is unbelievable that we have not attempted to surround Zion with competent shooters for this long.
Wait, we are mad at Zion about that close? Zion scored our last 6 points, didn’t miss a shot in the last 3 min, and hit his fts. Cant be mad at Zion because the first action to Trey wasn’t open and he did a dribble handoff with Poole to reset and Poole decides to take an all time bad shot with 7 seconds left. Poole’s last few games in the last 2 min have been abysmal.

I was at the game tonight, did anyone else notice when Booker got the tech for hitting the ball out of bounds, Pool ran to the ft line. Trey looked at him like “what the hell are you doing?” It was a weird moment. Did they say anything about it on the broadcast?
The Pelicans are 14/61 from 3 over the last two games. That is why they have lost. Not coaching, not Zion, not effort. They won’t win games if they can’t even shoot 25% from 3.

I don’t get the hate for anyone other than Dumars. This team can’t shoot well enough to win in today’s NBA. Zion had 22 points on 10 fga and Trey had 25 points on 14 fga. The bench was 2/11 from 3. Basketball is a very tough game when you are the worst 3 point shooting team in the league.

I don’t know why it’s so negative in here tonight. The team is so much better with Zion on the court. He was a team best +14 on the night. His presence allowed for Trey and Queen to be so much better. If they can keep up that level of play, then Zion will start actually having space.
The glaring issue with this team is the absolute lack of shooting. If they just shoot 30% from 3 they win the game. Overall, tonight was encouraging.

re: Is there a way that Zion and Queen can co-exist?

Future is no Zion and Queen at the 4
Queen has played almost exclusively at the 5. I'd like to see what Zion and Queen look like together (preferably with a new coach).
Willie is killing us with no Jose down the stretch. I said it last night, if we want to win, Jose has to play.
I really wouldn't mind seeing Queen playing with Zion a lot more over the next few weeks. We have to see if they can play together. Queen and Zion can both pass which could make for some interesting 4/5 pick and roll actions. Queen's passing ability forces him to be guarded away from the goal even though he isn't much of a shooter. Plus, I think Queen is our best rebounder. I really see no reason to start Yves next to Zion instead of Queen.
It was also nice to see Jose closing. Jordan Poole is not a winning player. If we want to win, Jose has to play more.

I'll say it again, if this team wants to win games, then Jose has to be a big part of it. Jose didn't see the floor in the first game against Memphis. Unbelievable.
How bad has Poole been to start this game? I can’t believe I started to buy into he wasn’t a loser.
