  1. This team is cancer I need Zion and Willie gone if BI has trade value trade him to. If you can get something for CJ get him TF outta here to. Mfs tired of excuses yall terrible, how long will it take for yall to play basic competent basketball.

  2. Spanked like stepchildren…highschool offense doesnt work in big games…sharing the ball should mean making cuts, finding the open man, it does not everybody on the floor touches the ball before you start your offense…you cant have your role.players dominating the ball…and Zion needs ro play defense. He needs to rebound. He does t need to be aggresive on offense. Thats not why we lost by 40…and BI has to stop being so indecisive. Thats been his achilles throughout his.career.😮

  3. Pels a team that will never make it in the playoffs something about them like they don’t have true pg a lot of ballhogging and scrub taking shots like they stars. Zion fat and timid last year he was monster

  4. Willie..you stink! How you don’t play Hawkins and give him a full DNP after being one of the better rookies and being a starter for you!!! And you don’t know how to use Zion..the Pelicans organization is 🗑️ #FreeZion and I’m sick of Seeing Ingram and some default wing players take and miss jumpers..Pelicans, y’all are blowing it with a generational fukn player!!!! Just trade him elsewhere..y’all did enough damage to him..He should be nearing the face of the league talk by now !!

  5. Zion Williams is a total " BUST" other than knowing how to dribble the basketball Zion Williams don't show me much he can't shoot, he don't make free throws in order for Zion William to be a great basketball player he have to develop more of his skills like shooting and rebounding

  6. Return to normalcy. The Pelicans certainly have their own shortcomings. But the coach is really the biggest weakness. They won against Sacramento in the last game. If Borrego hadn't been constantly urging them around, they wouldn't have made it to the semifinals. David Griffin do something.

  7. Really need to hear more from Willie than this. 'We got to compete more' is not a plan. Talk about what you can do better. Call out your stars' defensive struggles. They even gave you a softball about Zion and Bron laying back on him, and instead of pointing out that Z needs a jumper, you went with 'we need to get him the ball in transition.' That's NOT a WINNING gameplan, especially in the playoffs, ffs, when games slow down, TOs diminish, and half court possessions matter even more.

  8. Man I'm so disappointed in my pelicans right now we are healthy and still getting our wigs split. This was embarrassing 🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾

  9. Zion needs to develop a jump shot a fade away mo better post moves in the paint with his back is against the basket instead of just crossover and go through everybody.

  10. coach willie is kinda good game analyst not a good practical coach…bookish sticking to the not effective plans…cannot adjust instantly on a random situation…why not go basic let zion receive at low post then when double is coming pass the ball..shooters like cj and bi and herbs keep shooting without falling…must adjust immediately it is not working. I hate sticking to the plans even it is not working….

  11. Herb was the only starter that came with the fire. He was playing like he usually plays. BI got us to this game so it was time for zion to deliver in this one and HE DIDN'T. Willie need to do a better job with preparing and rotation and in game adjustments

  12. Zion has to DEMAND the ball more and take over games smh he can be a walking double double every freaking nite easily!! he makes the most money on the team and should be doin every freaking thing smh….Zion is LAZY period!!

  13. The Pelicans need a coach like Doc Rivers. Period. Willie Green will not get this team to the promise land

  14. Willie I knew it was over when you had to yell at professional players multiple times to put their hands up.

  15. If you notice when the guy ask willie they need to follow Zion’s lead he didn’t even answer the question.. talking crap about experience..smh.

  16. I am disappointed as i wanted a good competitive game. As a Lakers fan i thought they would at least compete against us. They had no energy none of them. No one stepped up to take over and try play hard. Zion, Brandon , they all looked out of sorts
