I am done with the blindness of the coaches, the lack of energy from the line up, the ridiculous way the executives overlook things and how not surprisingly Gayle Benson operates her team. To allow the embarrassment of experience talent, millions of dollars of payroll to operate and the embarrassment of ownership. I work a blue collar job and I refuse to work with people who make more money than me, has more experience than me and owners who refuse to see issues. I would publicly complain, socially isolate and professionally plan my exit. I am sick and tired of hearing about trade reports trade rumors trade speculation about the Pelicans this is getting ridiculous there is a reporter ESPN that Trey Murphy is considered one of the top trade candidates this season and the fact that the reports are saying that Trey Murphy deserves to be on a contending team instead of being on a Pelicans the Pelicans don't deserve to have a player of his salary and caliber play no thinking about when Trey Murphy was drafted there were a lot of teams that passed all trademark the Pelicans drafted him and they groomed him into what he is now the Pelicans that deserve Trey Murphy because he earned it this is why I don't follow the NBA other than the Pelicans these analysts and podcasters and idiots that come up with these stupid scenarios is seriously ruining the whole game of basketball the trade deadline should be about making teams better not making teams worse. This franchise is a joke, this season is a waste, and I no longer will purchase, affiliate and acknowledge the Pelicans. No draft capital or promise of free agent signing in 2026. I AM DONE!!!
They should embrace losing until the rookies get better OKC didn't rush the process
both rookies are bad defenders. Fears is not a good passer
Karlo Shouldve been starting at center , Queen isnt a center . James is clueless i cant wait until they fire this entire coaching staff
Starters: Missi, Bey, Zion, Trey, Fears
2nd line: Karlo, Peavy, Queen, Poole, Hawkins
Relievers; Looney, McGowen,
Fears does not pass the ball! He loves to show off his ball handling skills and is a selfish player.
Queen is good but won't pass to Poole. Poole will be wide open and Queen will shoot and miss. Start a new line up.
This team and the rest of the league plays with no heart or passion
Let's try it. Can't do any worse.
Borrego will be fired for doing the same damn thing Willie was doing.. Great show Melz.
Winning at this point is irrelevant get the minutes and experience into Fears and Queen they are the future.
Yeah brah start the damn 2nd unit! I'm wit u on dat!
Love your new starting line-up!
It looks like I`m seeing the ghost of Willie`s team, why would you keep a Coach that was part of Green`s Coaching , I mean don`t just get rid of Willie get rid of the rest of them, I mean still no defense, the only thing good this J.B. is doing good is indeed getting Zion involved in the offensive schemes decoying the defense and passing it off to Trey which is good. I`m sorry I am not getting on the Zion train. Zion is in good shape, notice they are using him more and he is making more points, they need a good Coach like a Thibbs and get herb to stop trying to make those long shots, play defense rebound and short shots 1 game he made 1 shot out of 7 long shots.
The only way Zion can stay is if he has a surgery that makes him be able to go right.
This is exactly my sentiment lmao 😂
4:03 Had to pause to shed a tear for such a beautiful question 🥹
I literally just made a couple shorts on this topic as ive been crying for a better starting lineup every since Borego took over. But i will answer your question of "Why not start the bench?"
Its the fans. The fans are the number 2 reason why the team is trash and number 1 is the team listening to these unknowledgeable fans 🤦🏿 These are the same fans who pushed out Jrue Holiday, Beardless Niko, Valencunias, and BI. These are the same fans who cried to start Fears and Queen. These are the same fans who look at Jose, a dude who literally does everything while having has no holes and says "Yup. He should come off the bench behind Poole and Fears 🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿" Fans cried even harder to start Queen when ive been saying since day one thats a bad idea. So now we have two rookies in the starting lineup, one of them being an undersized big 🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿
Willie had so much unnecessary heat on him that he literally just did everything the fans said and it STILL wasnt enough. The FANBASE is bad and the TEAM is worse for listening to them
