agreed, looks like street ball.

From contender to pretender. The story of the 2014-2015 Pelicans. I'm not reving up the tank, but I am getting the oil checked on the "Fire Monty" bandwagon.

win is the most important thing in the NBA

friendship?? what's that???

give me a win, i'll call you dad.

Exactly. AD's feelings are secondary to the team's success. And, frankly, I think Monty has taken our team as far as he can take it. If we could get Monty Williams with 10 more years of coaching experience? We'd like him better. But right now we need a guy who has been there.

Hell, I wonder what would happen if our assistants got a shot at coaching. Mike Malone is doing well in Sac-Town, isn't he?

Contender? If I had to bet I'd say we finish 9th-11th, but I'm not ruling out the playoffs yet

wonder why we haven't drawn up 3s for babbitt this half, he was on fire first half...?

We can't even win "Friendship Titles". Nobody wants to be friends with losers.

Another L.

Secret to good defense for the Pels:

Make sure Asik, Jrue, and Davis are in and keep Babbitt and Jimmer off the court.

Monty has been here 5 years and you still can't tell me what his coaching identity is on the defensive and offensive end.

This is literally the only strong answer I hear form Monty defenders. And yes, its a risk, but Davis would be leaving so much money on the table if he tries to leave after his first contract. He could demand a trade, sure, but he doesnt seem like the type. The key is bringing in a guy who can get us wins. Winning cures all. Losing will eventually burn any good relationship.

why can't we just be in the east?

Couldn't give you a player identity, either.

Why have we only gone to AD in garbage time?

Coming into the season the expectation was playoffs, with many saying #6-#8 seed. I find that hard to get to from where we stand.

AD with 26 in only 30 minutes lol

If we don't make the playoffs this year Monty will be gone though, u can count on that. Too much win now to keep a coach who's had like 4 consecutive losing seasons.

Love that Toyota chick.

If we were more efficient on offense that would tremendously help out our defense. We take bad shots and our defense completely gets our go balance. Babbit is a bad defender but we need his 3 point shooting , therefore he needs to play.

Sit AD. No need to keep up appearances, this game is lost.
