Brandon a broad good riddance dudes soft 🍦 fans hid like him after game for interview
Pels don't dare waste your time doing a Brandon Ingram tribute video when he comes down the smoothie king arena. If you do post a video of lu dort locking him up in that playoff series. 13 point average in the playoffs is what I remember the most about Brandon Ingram . You got exposed and took 40 ms less to move to Canada to forget . Don't blame pels fans because you are overrated and can't score on 6:3 guards .
Brandon Ingram is bitter he realized the Pelicans are in a better situation the Pelicans are a better team and he just missed the Pelicans he's bitter
That is why he's throwing he's that's why he's hating
Playing point guard for the Pelicans has to be one of the toughest jobs in sports. So I can cut Dejounte Murray a lot of slack. He was injured when the season started. By the time he was on the court starters were dropping like files. There was the G league merry go round . Players constantly coming and going. I doubt Murray had time to learn some of the short timer’s names. So figuring out what their skill sets were on the court was impossible. I wish him the best with his rehab and his season.
Everyday
Joe Dumars just letting Willie Green stay in place until next year when they know whether Zion is a keeper or they go in a totally new direction. Either way Willie is toast.
Every dayer
Hi Jake
It doesn't matter who the coach is when the GM is burning the franchise to the ground.
This team is FUCKED fucked, Lol.
That GM did that at his last stop too; a pattern is emerging.
Congrats Jake. Also getting married in under 2 months. Nov 15
I have a sneaky feeling that we will win more games than we will lose. Praying for a healthy season 🙏
Everyday B.I is the reason why we wasnt good because he didn't come close to Tatum and we thought he could … its a reason he wasnt an all star after he was
Don't expect much from the Pels, but expect this will be the season that Green will be replaced.
bi was great player for pels. too bad he made lou dort look like herb jones in the playoffs tho.
I have never wavered in my support for Willie leading a winning team. Has he had rotational hiccups? Yep. Green was green. He still led healthy teams to excellent records, and until tank-time last season coached decimated teams that battled hard nearly every night. Give 'em hell, Willie. Good podcast, Jake.
