Brandi ingram is a liability when he put the ball on the floor or dribble instead of passing to messi
Why wasn’t Messi close to the rim and a pass from ingram under the basket
Going to the basket willie green you either make the basket or you get fouled
Ingram is to big to always want to shoot threes go to the basket
Without injuries willie green is not coaching very good. Injuries is no excuse Dominique said it all they don’t run any plays
Watching the pelicans game on atlanta broadcasting network Dominique Wilkes said what we all see willie green don’t run any plays the players are coaching themselves so why pay willie green
Our offense really couldn't look worse.
Sign Kenny Lofton Jr. At this point, we need dudes on the court!
Trade Zion.
It’s been this way w Willie every year. Yawn.
We’re in a weird place rn— we need to move on from this coaching regime- who at best seem tuned out by the players- but you can’t because of the injuries and it would come off as unfairly scapegoating. We’re in a free fall, not horrible when you have your own pick in a strong draft? I guess? But just based on the injury report, if healthy in January then we might immediately be a contender. They probably don’t want to can Willie because of the narrative it would pin on Zion, but he is SO FAR OVER HIS HEAD. BI needs to be traded, just based on the contract if nothing else, but we need him while everyone else is hurt (and unless he takes a $40-$45M contract no one is gonna want to trade for him anyway). We have a fantastic roster built around Zion (less BI), but he cant stay on the floor.
The MOST frustrating team.
Bi cooking! Let him cook no Zion need scoring smh
Still every dayer
Damn, the Nets were trying to give this game away, and were playing somewhat lack luster throughout the game as well. This hurting the Nets tank, it’s early but with so many injuries in the league, I don’t want wins piling up for the Nets. Anyway, the Pels definitely should have won this game.
Pels should be playin faster.. They are young, athletic, and should be playing with more pace….. So why are we playing half-court basketball majority of the game??🤔
The shot clock is ALWAYS running down 🙄….. These players are not getting untilized correctly
Willie Green ain’t the guy to lead this cripple hamstring problem team
No keep head coach Willie Green he is a good young black Head Coach of our home town team the New Orleans Pelicans
We need a new offense game plan for the team
Okie dokie 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Lol 😆😆
They need to draft another good young player in the next year's nba draft in 2025
You cant give them the excuse that they ran out of gas when they are winning going into the 4th and lose by 20, but then now say its coaching. ITS BEEN COACHING THE WHOLE TIME!
Willie and BI have to go because Willie can't coach this team and Brandon can't carry this team! I feel sorry for the fans who pay to see thls team play. Pels can't win home games!
