re: 1st unit vs 2nd unit

For sure, Husky, Murphy, and Murray. After that it gets interesting. Missi/Queen and Herb/Bey. Nod to Herb because someone has to defend opps best player, Nod to Missi to rim protect.

re: Pels trade hawk Peavy and 2 2nds for Taj Gibson and AJ Johnson

For sure, Pelicans got better. Fresh start for Hawkins ….. but we’ll always have Dallas. :pimp:
They had a picture drawn up on a napkin of Kawhi as a tree Groot character… what more do you want?

Just the irony of putting the hammer down for basic payola ~ endorsement deals that have always been the norm in pro sports and now even cool on the college campuses
Five picks, Owner Suspension and fines for Kawhi taking NIL money.
Is D’Anroni consulting check still in the mail?

Huh? Dumars made the CJ trade for Poole. He thought Poole was part of the future here and a significant piece of the "core."
For sure, some of you don’t get it. Griff exited Al, SVG, and Willie too, Dumars just dropped the blade on WG, same with CJ. Both really were already gone and wanted out. Griff’s mismanagement of Zion was fubar and the new guy is really going to open the curtain to an already deflated fan base.
Good odds Pels will be back in the first round in June, with a couple good rookies to build with, a couple of new bodies from trades and loss of a couple of fan favorites players That was always the plan.

Griff fired three coaches and the new guy gets 6 months. For sure same folk who rearrange deck chairs when the ship hits the iceberg

Good win, Pels looked like a competent NBA team tonight. Shows Herb’s presence on the team defensively if not the …Oof Oops Shooting :lol:

You're kidding right? You are not paying attention if you do not think Dumars thought he had a shot at a winning season.
What else was he going to say? CJ was already gone before Griff was let go. Queen and Fears are his big bet, Three maybe four of Zion, Herb, DJM, Poole, TM3, and Jose will be gone before next years draft. That will get the Pels back in the first round, maybe multiple picks.

For sure you are short term deficit. Dumars inherited this mess. There is no way anyone could have objectively thought this was going to be a winning season. Guess Professor Griff gets let off the hook. Dumars has Zion pinned on him and what he does with him will start the real clock. Logically, Dumars has to build back some value for Zion to get any type of sensible return.

re: 2021-22 Pelicans started 3-15
Posted by Pistol44 on 11/25/25 at 4:47 pm to hassan whiteside
They may turn it around, I hold out hope. But the 2021-22 Pelicans were led by someone who is no longer with the team and collectively got kicked to the curb here. ..... oh, ok I'll stop, I still get triggered from time to time :lol:

Pels win
re: I thought Zion was waiting for Willie to leave and then he'd "turn it on"
Posted by Pistol44 on 11/24/25 at 3:19 pm to Large Professor
Just my observation, he may have lost weight but his conditioning has not markedly improved. When he has the ball in his hands, he is somewhat motivated in transition but when he doesn't, he loafs. Again, if he just runs the floor he is an easy 20, 5, and 5. He may be trying to figure out his ideal weight, but regardless his conditioning has to improve. I believe a lot of teams have their eyes on Zion and one of the things they are looking at is will he engage when he is not option 1.
Best thing for everyone,for sure is that Zion does turn it on, stays healthy and provides 20,5, and 5 that he should be able to do in his sleep. Problem will be then Pels will want to give him another shot :lol:
Its really in his best interest to learn to be a complementary piece at times and rethink his game. Everyone talks about his lack of shooting anything outside of 12' but near as important is that he needs to be able to run the court. Pet peave of mine is that he won't run (conditioning?) unless he is leading the transition. He should have always been feasting as a finisher (either on the wing or as a trailer) with less physical pounding on his body.

Move was ok with me, someone didn’t like the way Hawks were trying to Big Boi them.

There's always more to stats than you think
For sure, I'm pro statistical analysis but everyone can't be the spokesman. You make a great point with the +- . First blush is to use that as a player barometer and your example shows the foolishness of the metric used in that context. Practically, a lot of teams use their star(s) to carry bench lineups so they don't tank the game while also providing rest for other starters. There are levels to the game.

In reality, it's just a you completely missing the mark on what you think my assessment of Zion is.
For sure, give you a lot of grace because you did come around two or so years ago. But before that OY Vey ... Some of us just saw things for what they were long before that. Remember when they said we have to get off Jrue because he didn't fit Zion's timeline? Jrue has gone on to be a two time champ and All star --> Zion expectations
quote:
Explain it then
For sure, it really just comes down to expectations for a certain Husky fellow for a lot of you all. Stars so bright in your eyes for Zion clouded all reasonable judgement for anything else, including BI. I'm just browsing all the post about him in this thread that are just as ridiculous as when he was here. i.e. "he's a fourth option on the other team now that better suits him" when he actually is leading the other team in scoring. He was the leading scorer here too except now the other star there is actually pulling his weight. Shell, its just a basketball vs. internets thing.
