Every dayer!! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Hopefully when everyone comes back, Boston, gets a shot at rotation and not put in whoever is our coach's doghouse.
Willie Green must be terminated from his position. While some may argue that injuries have contributed to this team's current downward trajectory, the coaching methodology is not conducive to this particular team.
Happy Birthday Antonio Reeves. 11-20-2000. He did it on his birthday. How great is that.
The coaching staff drafting a player(Antonio Reeves) & then not playing him when everyone is hurt. Is insane. Waiting until your team is starting to get healthy to see what you have is so dumb. This is worse than starting Reed over Murphy & not playing Hawk until mid-season. The staff & front office have to go.
Every-dayer since 2021, even through these dark times.
Give Reeves Jose’s minutes
I noticed Matkovic knows how to get open but the current bench players can't pass
Reeves will DNP next game
Comment….🏀🇬🇧
I never want to call for a guys job, but Willie should be fired by the morning tbh
Just fed up with this team..
U can't be serious
Every Dayer- Copping an Elfrid Payton jersey
It also helps he wasn’t on anyone scouting report Boston jr came in strong and he’s now back to earth.
Payton showed that in the preseason, but they cut him. Then they signed Nowell instead of Payton when they needed a PG. Sometimes the decisions of this team is simply baffling.
Mr. Erry Dat'rr👈🏾 Thanks Jake! well no comment. lol
Hi Jake
Coach is a joke, why did it take letting Nowell go before finally giving playing time to the rookie who we traded to get??? Happy he finally got a chance. Keep it up rook
Since Theis did not play, the amount of salaries that did play was only $11 million. Speaking of Theis, everyone seems to forget he exists. He started for game one, and now he can't see the court even under extreme circumstances. Seem disrespectful to me.
Reeves not playing, is a Willie Green thing. He's done this shit the whole time he's been here.
While you (and others) lamented about JV and the center position, I held steadfast that the most serious problem for this team was not having a……
POINT GUARD!!! POINT GUARD!!! POINT GUARD!!!
(and that Willie should be starting DD with Herb)
Glad to see you've come around!!!
^^^^
I never in my life have called for a man's job but Willie (a really nice guy) has to go!!!
Let's not forget how he has seen the pecking order during his tenure here….
Garrett Temple over 3M3, Really?
Tony Snell over Naji, on what planet?
Josh Richardson over DD, you've got to be kidding me!!!
GTA over Hawk (not a knock on GTA, but let's be honest: he's limited)
Now he kicks the tires on Nowell when Eldrid was right under his nose. Let's not forget that the team (like me) thought filling the point guard was such a glaring need that last summer that they traded away DD, Larry, and draft capital to get one.
Good to see metro get some minutes. We should have gave missi more shots. We didnt hsve enough 3pt shooting and too many turnovers hurt us.
Green is not a good Head Coach, injuries saving his job.
Every dayer comment
Pelicans should blow it all up. Trainers,GM,and head coach. Trade zion cause he don't wanna be here
I understand that you don't follow Cavs basketball bcuz you're focused on Pelicans. But Ty Jerome is a beast. He has done this all season so far. He tied his career high (24 pts) twice this season. Now has broken it vs Pels with 29 points. He is our secret weapon. He destroyed the Warriors and Bulls. He has been getting buckets majority of games.
EP played well! Much better than Nowell we needed a change
It's the 1st game they actually played him and wow very impressive! Trade BI & CJ so we have room to develop these guys like Murphy, Hawkins, Boston jr, Reeves, Missi ect..
Pelicans could be the worse team in the NBA at developing their young talent.. they always play 2 way players over players that have actual contracts..
Who is in control of building this team? We have 3 starters in Missi, Zion & BI that almost exclusively take 2 pointers this team is setup to fail.. a guy like Zion needs to be surrounded by shooters even the center needs to be able to shoot to get the most out of Zion.
It looks like Willie and Griffin want to tank this season.. either that or they just flat out suck at running an NBA team..
Winning or losing isn't everything to me this year but man watching the Pelicans run NO offence at all is painful.. atleast run some basic plays..
Trashbin Ingram and Zion glassinson they need to fire Willie Green and hire a real coach
Clean up what…green don't have a clue what to do….lost
I think they got the medical people paid off and they faking injuries …something ain't right….I smell BS from the Pels
Has anyone seen Zion williamsons tattoo video ? I thought the media was saying Zion was in great shape ? All lies…look at the video the dude got titties and a gut…seriously
That's my cousin!! Great game.
