We have a lot of new players , we’re missing Hill and Rondo and we barely lost to a machine , one of the best teams assembled in nba history and we lost to Memphis who beat that warriors team . People need to relax a bit we’re not going to be nba champs this year but we have a good team give this team time to gel together and see what we have .

Crawford is the better shot creator, but not the better overall player. With Rondo out and Holiday struggling we need someone capable of running a team. Can't be all on Cousins and AD. Nelsons age doesn't matter at all. The Pelicans are all about this season. If the Pelicans don't win this season, they will blow the current team up and once again go into rebuilding mode around AD.
Really fun game to watch. Blowing leads tho kind of suck, but it's Pelican's basketball. We pull out a win and team is so much more fun to watch. Glad it didn't take 9 games to get our first win.
Gentry already trusted Jameer to close out the game for us without even seeing him in a single practice and with us down by 5. If that doesn't tell you exactly how the team feels about him I don't know what will.
We have to become more consistent throughout the game. It's one thing to blow a massive lead, but to do it continuously the way we have the past few years (specifically the 3rd quarters) has to change. Is it down to the coaching staff waiting too long to make adjustments? Do the players simply become complacent? Pelicans need to solve this pronto
What is promisimg has been the steady improvement from game to game though. From everyone really(minus Jrue).
We are trending in the right directions as a unit and at least for me that is what I am looking for.
With that said, if we drop the ball in Portland like we did with LA we likely will not get the win. That was some inexcusable ugly basketball for a good stretch and you can’t expect to win games against average to good teams doing that.
That is why I said for five years I was very happy when we signed Rondo. I was also saying that we should sign a POINT guard for the bench that's why I like having both guys. Having them and Tony Allen could make our team closer to the basketball style I like. I really dislike what you called chuckathon I am excited that the Pels could and should go against it.
This is exactly my impression too. There is improvement and having two big men with that talent could be deadly even if the roster is filled with good not great players. It cannot be filled with D leaguers though. And Jrue? Man, I just hope he can jump on the improvement train.
The crazy thing is we've played well and should probably be 3-0

Gawd....I saw we won when I woke up but have just watched the game back.. that 4th quarter was disgusting.
We do (and have done in each game this season) some really good work and play superb in lathes...and for some reason, we just look to throw it all away with some horrible basketball.
Too much talent to be that bad.
'' We are here!!''
We should be damn good when we get Rondo, Jackson, and Hill back. We will be better with Hill starting as SF and Cunningham coming off bench as SF/PF. Rondo, Nelson are great for pg and Jrue, Moore and Clark at SG is pretty solid. Stay above .500 and stay healthy. Our guards are going to be solid going into the playoffs. We should bully teams.
