That's it confarmit. Max Zo

Okay screw it, I’m team Lonzo man, bring him back!!!!!

Wild how Zion's just never going to shoot below 50% again in a game

Lonzo with his first double double in nearly a full calendar year (last one came March of 2020)

Lonzo playing like a top 5 PG, yes I said it.

If we resigned Lonzo and some how landed Mobley oh my lord, that would be the most fun lineup in the league

Kira Lonzo Ingram Zion Mobley

It seems that NAW is now officially in the witness protection program. Let's move JJ soon.

So Zion has just decided to be an 80% FT shooter now, then?

80.2% on 8.6 FTAs a game in the month of February. That's after shooting 72% on 7.4 per game through January.

You know, one day I'd like Lonzo to have a game where he just takes like 25 threes.

I just think it would be quite funny, like that time Marcus Smart randomly took 22 of them.

We still on the trade BI train?

I don't think anyone has been ''on the trade BI train''. More like the ''if we got a really good offer, he's not untouchable'' train. And yes, that's still the case.

But y'know, you knew that.

Sure would like to see Zion getting more than 3 shots a quarter. I mean, no one can stop him.

Yeah we do this really annoying thing all the time where Zion's up to like 7/9 shooting or whatever and nobody has been able to slow him down and he's been drawing fouls all night and it's like we just ''bored of that, no more''. At which point we proceed to just not get him involved in anything for 4 minutes at a time.

In the future, Zion won't hesitate with those shots.

Which can be said about 90% of the players in the league, and that's why saying he isn't untouchable seems silly to a lot of us on this board. It's actually beyond silly.

And yet, the entire drama last thread started because someone said that ''even entertaining the idea'' of trading Ingram was ''ridiculous'', so while I agree that it's silly that we have to go over this, apparently we do because some people don't seem to agree.

And then the next thread you get people coming out about the ''trade BI train'' that never existed, at which point you then have to point out again that they're putting together quite the strawman.

The Isolation Pels have Returned

That's a stupid shot by Ingram.. Held the ball the entire possession to shoot for himself. That's what he needs to cut out of his game. And if I were a coach I'd yank him for it.

Ingram's missed 3 in a row now as we enter crunch time, and the Pels offense has devolved into him Holding It.

JFC Stan

I do not understand the Pelicans. They can build double digit leads against anyone. But before you know it, they lose it and have to try to come from behind. They should be a better team.

Just getting murdered here.

Outscored 27-5 in the 4th.

Zion has taken 0 shots in the last 5 minutes.

CP said he owns this place. Spoiler: He absolutely does

27-5 run... Wowwwwww...

How do you explain continuing to play JJ and letting your starters go ice cold before reinserting them.... this team can’t find a coach.

90% of the run is with JJ on the court every game he comes in and they either get blown out or blow a lead. Stop playing him!!!!!

If you take an iso shot without at least 3 passes happening beforehand right now, you should be benched for the rest of the game.

Another 50%+ night from 3 point range for our opponents.

Players bear responsibility for what's happening out there.. But in times like this you need a system in place for them to run.

I'm even seeing Zion run iso.. This shouldn't be the case in crunch time.

Team has no heart. Rotations on defense continues to be horrible..are these supposed to be pros out there? Everyone sees the problems except the players and coach ..what an embarrassment.

That's the first time Zion's missed both FTs in a while now

With a coach who is supposed to be a "defensive guru".

CP3 has 19 assists. Just completely dissected the Pelicans all game long and we've had no resistance in the 4th.

It's either pick n roll or iso.. No offensive sets in place. That's coaching

They are just throwing 3's up and watching them all fall.

35-7 fourth quarter is excruciating. It doesn't get more one-sided brutality than this.

sigh

35-7 in the 4 quarter? This team is a joke! :bah:

No!

It's 37-7

This is tough to watch. Griff needs to put everyone not named Ingram, Zion, and Kira on the trade block.

Lewis missed 3
Zion missed 2
Turnover
Lewis missed 3
Reddick made 2
Zion Turnover
Hayes Turnover
Ingram missed 2
Ingram Turnover
Hayes Turnover
Reddick made 3
Willy Turnover
Ingram miss 3
Lonzo miss 3
Zion miss 2 FT
Zion makes 2 FT
Ball miss
Ingram miss 3
Team forfeit

A complete collapse. Frankly, I'm tired of these late game collapse and zero leadership at Guard. I know the Sun overpaid the hell for CP3, but I wished we got him.

Ingram needs to be on the block too.

Im ready to straight up say we shouldn't retain Stan after this year. He was the wrong choice. Griff's not looking good either, he hasn't assembled a great roster point blank.
