Can the New Orleans Pelicans overcome their offensive struggles and inconsistent play? With a recent 113-104 loss to the Toronto Raptors, the Pelicans face critical questions about their growth and strategy.

Host Jake Madison breaks down the game, focusing on Zion Williamson’s impressive 31-point performance and the team’s failure to capitalize on his efficiency. Madison also examines the Pelicans’ lack of offensive identity, rookie Yves Missi’s defensive challenges, and Trey Murphy’s notable defensive improvements. Key figures like Willie Green and David Griffin are discussed, highlighting the team’s ongoing challenges and potential strategies.

    Mr. ErryDat'rr 👈🏾 Thanks Jake! Tank, tank, tank, tank, tank!!!😂 Jake u can use a fishing toilet sound for tanking

    I love the fact that zion was aggressive and getting to the rim . Even against a superb defender in barnes , zion won that match up .
    Cj played good and gives you 20 + like he always does . But his free throw shooting is beginning to be really concerning. Whats going on with cj's shooting lately? Trey murphy is starting to abuse his (willie green 💚 GREENLIGHT) he's shooting the ball whenever he wants and missing alot more than he used to .I really miss 3rd option trey . Murray great game but he doesn't fit well . Yeve M buzz is starting to fade away. And jake madison i hear you on the benefit of tanking and losing a little bit more to get a chance at a top 5 draft pic ,but i really want to win as many games as possible. But lets say we win the lottery and get cooper flag next season . A top 5 draft pick wont change much for us next season . We right now have 6 of the top 100 ranked nba players and we still cant win enough games . (Murray, cj , trey,and zion) These 4 players on the court together should win you at least 40 percent of games just based on their individual skills and talents.

    Trade Murray ,CJ, BI, green , hawkins ,Trey ( and yes I said shoot too much Trey Murphy ) and reconstruct this team around Zion , herb , and our 2025 draft pick
    Pelicans wouldn't need to go in a complete long term draft and young player rebuild if they trade away those players . Thats a whole lot of value . Think about the amount of talent we could receive for those players i mentioned .
    If david griffin doesnt want to fire Willie his only other option is to clean house and make big time trades on our roster . Simple as that

    Jake, after how this season has played out, I find it hilarious that you are asking how we feel about a loss at this point. WILLIE GREEN is absolutely the WORST coach in the NBA…HANDS DOWN. It is MALPRACTICE at this point for Griffin to keep WG at the helm. He is KILLING this team in so many ways. HIS REPLACEMENT IS SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO HIM (at least for now)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  14. @kevinbyers6869

    ZION…2 assists on 30 pts….really..don't care how good he is…he has developed a LOSER mentality. JRE was giving us good minutes…DNP-coaches decision…nuff said!!! Antonio Reeves..DNP…GIVE ME AN EFFIN BREAK!!!!!!!!

  16. @kevinbyers6869

    Despite his struggles, I say give Missi a ton of minutes the remainder of the season so he can work his way through the "walll"! Coaching is helping NOBODY on this team as long as Willie is here:(

  17. @kevinbyers6869

    The reason our sport franchises are so tone deaf to their fans is they have ZERO respect for us. This is an economically challenged market with a WEAK media presence and the current action/inaction from the Decision-makers / ownership of OUR teams reflect that. Until things dramatically change, I challenge any objections!!
