Brain dead decision making tonight
Not sure he is awake on the sidelines.

Not sure how you are defending this guy. That guy looks DUMB on the sidelines. Is anything going on up there in his brain?
Sometimes a team takes on the personality of its coach. Payton had his team fired up and ready to win in the 2006 Domecoming game. They would have run through a brick wall. This team, despite all the hype and emotion of the game, came out undisciplined and slept walked through the game.

He limped off. For some unknown reason, Moore was playing he and Shough down 45-17 with under 3 minutes remaining. Idiot.

Would expect he will have to settle for a 2 way with some team.

You are dead wrong on that.

Could have probably used them.
Of course. Moore seems to be trigger happy with the IR usage and has lost a few players that could have helped at least on PS.
quote:

The Pelicans might be the only fan base that could win double the games from the previous season, have all their young players look good, and still act like we are going backwards. Even Browns fans aren't that dramatic.
So you think if this team wins over 50 games, that the fans will think we are moving backwards? Be real and stop acting like you are the mouthpiece for others.

You sound so salty. He was clearly talking about contract negotiations here. And they got all the protections they wanted in Zion's extension.

Unlike Ingram who turned down a very generous offer when he qualified for an extension offer and continued to double down and demanded the max even with his shitty play in the playoffs and fiba.

Both guys can be shitty but in this case, it's not hard to see who he's talking about.
My assumption was BI. Although he was also here during the AD trade fiasco.
quote:

That's cause he was asking about the front office. He only asked about the medical staff and analytics after dumar kept not answering.

He initially asked about the front office.
But as someone who puts himself out there as a "reporter" he should have the ability to ask a question a different way (or use different words) after the 3rd or 4th time that the interviewee does not understand.
quote:

But gotta feel for Pelicans fans having him and Weaver as their leaders."
Not sure anyone should refer to Weaver as a "leader." He had to be the most arrogant introvert that is an insult to the fans of the Pelicans. I cannot believe Gayle is OK with how he basically collects a check and hides from the media and the fans. I actually wonder if he even spends much time in New Orleans or if he is just living up in the DMV area.

Only ones left are Jake, Shamit, and Fletch.
So basically the same person. Fletcher gets no info on his own as he relies heavily on social media and Madison and Shamit.
Makes you wonder why the Clippers went through with the trade. Clearly they could have failed his physical. Maybe the picks were too much to pass up given their penalties?

You left out the most important part. He can go shot for shot with Jokic.

He is not near as athletic as Bam or Allen


No he is not. That doesn’t mean anything. Jaxson Hayes is an athletic freak. Pretty worthless defender in the NBA for the most part. All that length and athleticism yet he still sucked. This past year he seemed to take a turn and finally became a good defensive player.


DQ is not much different than Al Horford.

quote:
What was his vertical jump?

Doesn’t matter. He’s not the type of player you funnel ball handlers to so he can block/alter shots at the rim. His job is to use his body and keep bigs from backing him down, and to play good TEAM defense to keep opponents from getting into the paint off the dribble.
He showed slow/heavy feet last year on defense. Want to see him move better which may help his rim protection.

He is not near as athletic as Bam or Allen. What was his vertical jump? Maybe it was better than it appeared on the court last year or maybe he just never got into shape. This year will be a good test.

There are definitely some biases. Heck a 4th rookie comes in at 78. Players like White, Butler (who may not even play), Van Vleet (no one knows how he will come back from injury), Buzelis are all rated pretty high in relative. Heck., Kessler suddenly became a much better player (20-25 spots higher than last year after an injury filled season where he played 5 games) just because he is now a Laker.

Ryan nemhard just got traded and then released.

Do the pels have a spot/money to sign him?

The pelicans should if possible. I wonder if he would take a 2 way spot and come here.
Read he wants to go to Denver on a 2-way. We have a spot open though.
quote:

They didn't. Baltimore just stopped running the ball. He only had 5 carries in the second half.
Exactly. I could not believe the Ravens were not running the heck out of him in the 2nd half with the lead.

Especially a booth review.

So they can say, Shough did not score, but throw the flag on facemask, now have 1st and goal from the 3 in line
I agree. Kind of how in NBA reviews for possession, if there is a proximate foul, they can call it when they see it in review. Ridiculous that such a blatant penalty can simply be ignored because they missed it even though it is obvious on replay. You would think personal fouls could be reversed if obvious.
