Less than 6 seconds left (from your first win of the season) in OT, up by 1. Out of the timeout you allow the opponent an easy path to the basket, lose by 1. #Pelslife

Get to the playoffs... fire the coach... hire a moron. Tank for a season. Free agency bust... 0-6... tank again.
#Pelslife
This one blows my mind. I have never seen a fanbase so loudly calling for the firing of the coach. We stumbled into the playoffs and were swept. I don't remember a single person lamenting Monty's firing. In fact, they may not have had a choice after people were so loudly calling for his job that they were booing him at home games. The fanbase turned so hard against Monty it is possible that Demps couldn't have kept him. If that is the case, who assumes the responsibility? I saw only a few disappointed at the hiring of Gentry. Now we were idiots to have fired Monty and to have hired Gentry.
Sports doesn't have to be stupid but people sure like it that way.
They should have taken their time instead of hiring gentry

Saints owner buys team from NBA, hires a football guy to be head of basketball operations, proceeds to forget the team actually exists...
#Pelslife
Oh, I have another one...
Tom Benson buys the Hornets. Changes the team's name and identity from one of the most popular sports brands in the world to the "Pelicans" in hopes that it would increase local fan support. Local fans still don't care.

Blow a 20 pt plus lead late in the 4th Quarter during game 3 of the playoff series against Golden State
#Pelslife
Could get free tickets to go see them in Atlanta. Don't even care. #pelslife
I must preface that I am a hermit and hate leaving the house ;)

The nameplate above Terrence Jones’ locker at the Smoothie King Center has been incorrect since the season began. Jones spells his first name with three E's, yet his locker boasts a rogue A for a spelling of “Terrance Jones.” Jones’ jersey number on the display is off too. He wears No. 9 in New Orleans, but his locker claims No. 6, the one he wore with the Houston Rockets.
“It’s crazy, man,” Jones recently admitted.

Purchase five-team league pass subscription the year your favorite team breaks through into the playoffs. Re-up only to find that the NBA has cut your subscription to one team, added commercials, and raised the price. All while your team "rolls it back" to a 30 win season. Re-up only to find that the NBA has extended the FSNOLA blackout area all the way to northeast Mississippi, essentially rendering your league pass subscription worthless. Cancel subscription in the midst of an 0-6 start to what is likely a tanking season.

Lance Stephenson out Indefinitely and I lol'ed.
#PelsLife
When every year your fanbase act like the new roster is awesome that all national media is wrong in the offseason and after few games start to be more delusional than knick's fan about signing a superstar in FA.

When you GM had choice between Thibodeau, Malone and JVG, yet chose Alvin Gentry in part because he brought powerpoint presentation.
#PelsLife
This thread will become comedy gold.
Just lol'd when reading about Lance Stephenson.... it's not even bad news really. We were terrible anyway.
There's no quick fix to any of this... we have no assets and never do anything in free agency. We just need to suck it up and hope we draft well... and in 5 years time we'all have decent squad... and then AD will leave as a free agent.
#PelsLife
So, does Gentry want AD to call the plays now? https://t.co/TZci8gcwH0 pic.twitter.com/Y458A1xKFC

The Saints got back to .500 today! Will the Pelicans ever get back to .500 this year?

Trades Lopez for Evans. Trades a first for Asik because you've got no center. Sign Asik longterm to a ridiculous contract and reportedly have no interest in keeping Evans past his contract. Lopez is better than Evans or Asik.

Winless teams still left: Pelicans, 76ers
#Pelslife
How's that Gentry hire looking these days? Lol. The pels are the worst reality show ever. At this point, I say fire Demps and let Loomis GM full time. Then Loomis can ruin 2 teams.
When powerpoint slides get you a job, but the other guys actually knew basketball.
#Pelslife
If I've learned anything from today's NBA, it is that you need to have good players everwhere on the court except the center position. As long as the big man can clog up the paint, rebound and keep fouling to a minimum you can get by. You CANNOT have your perimeter players pooing the court on either side of the ball if you want to annually make the playoffs. Wasting all of that space on Asik was a huge mistake regardless of how good he could have been, and honestly Rolo easily would suffice on any team with enough talent. We needed to shore up other areas of the court, and like you said we went for Tyreke who struggles to space the floor. So many blunders and (tbf to Demps) unfortunate injuries.
Darren Collison has served his eight-game suspension and is expected to play Tuesday vs. New Orleans
#Pelslife
Jrue, Reke, and QPon are ahead of schedule. This is a playoff team with those guys.

Spend money guaranteeing players salary, developing culture as a team that values it's players. Letting Holiday take personal leave, giving guaranteed contracts to players as insentives, giving "thank you" contracts out, and getting rid of locker room cancers, being more patient with personnel and injuries than most other franchises. Fringe player no other team wanted given money for the start of the year waived after team gets off to terrible start and get called out by Matt Barnes for not being a player-friendly organization. #Pelslife

The Pelicans music person plays the same sound effects, and music over, and over, and over, and over,and over,and over,over, and over, and over, and over,and over,and over,over, and over, and over, and over,and over,and over,over, and over, and over, and over,and over,and over,over, and over, and over, and over,and over,and over

Finally play a good game, but Steph Curry decides to hit an NBA record 13 3's out of 17 attempts. Lose by 10.
