I have 0 confidence they can win any of them. Including Golden St again.

Yep. It wasn’t a strong game. One quarter doesn’t change a thing.

Giannis can't shoot like Ingram..

Some don't like the comparison, but he really is starting to play like Durrant.

Did losing corrupt Embiid? Giannis wasn't always a Finals contender. They were 33-49 just four seasons ago.

The same Sixers team that choked to the Raptors in the 2nd Round?

It pains me to say it; Jrue needs to sit a few games. I'd start somebody else at the 2...perhaps E'Twaun. It's not like Holiday's defense has meant anything to this team and his decision-making offensively has been atrocious.

I just wish Jrue didn’t decide to look like a linebacker and slow himself down.

He has better handles than Durant. Better passing than Durant. And gets after it on defense more than Durant.

Just doesn't have Durant's weight to finish at the rim. Only piece missing.

That’s not really a compliment to Gentry considering Ingram essentially plays point forward on the floor. He is making the most of his opportunities, but it isn’t winning basketball.

Agreed, and though he's shown an improved 3, you still have to say Durant has him their as well.

Given what the conversation was...unless you're implying that the Sixers lost that series because they were corrupted by "The Process" which was just t-wording, it's not really relevant.

This season was always about building for the future. There was a 12 man rotation vs a 9 man rotation (although that 9th guy barely played). The Pelicans have many new faces and it will take some time for them to gel. I'm not saying that everything is perfect but there are some things that happen on the court that the casual fan is not aware of. It looks bad at times but you can't rush this process...

Gentry needs to send him a message somehow. Either bench him or get in his ear. I don’t know if his head went after AD left or Zion got injured, but he needs to get it together.

Never said it was. Just that someone needs to point out a damn good quarter at least. Jesus Christ...

What’s even more insane is that the other team knows BI is all the Pels have and still can’t stop him. That’s superstar material. Imagine what he will do when the people around him need to be respected.

Well, at least we know who we have to build the team around. Get Beal. Get Turner. Sign Lebron to back up BI

Yeah. But for me, it's not the same.

The team has never looked like this. Ingram is the kind of player, apparently, that changes things. We need to put a better coached squad around him, get more experience. But a player like that can win many games. Just need to stop sucking on defense so horribly. Gentry or not, the rebounding is what is baffling me. Josh Hart can not be our hardest board crasher. He just can't. Favors has been non-existent.

But overall, this isn't the same Pels from years past. You can only point to two maybe three guys on the WHOLE SQUAD you don't want out there. I remember our whole 2nd unit was like that not too long ago.

Had friggin' Wesley Johnson on the court and hoping he could do something once. Ugh, those were dark times.

I don’t know how much good Beal will do if he can’t play the 5.

If Kawhi stayed with the Raptors. I'd had them locked to cruise to back to back champions.

Honestly, it's a shame that we didn't get another year of the Leonard Raptors. They where a underrated squad that had another title and maybe 2 more finals trip with that core.

I don’t neccesarily think he was ever a terrible coach. He wasn’t the right one at the time, but I wouldn’t have been surprised if he did better than Gentry with AD and Boogie.

I just want this Pelicans team to hang in there and be around 9-13, 10-14 when Zion comes back.

Then we re-assess.

In the meantime get Favors back into the regular rotation. Stop all these damn injuries. Gentry settle on a consistent rotation.

Not a lot to ask is it?.

Not quite sure about that, but I think that AD Boogie team would have been perfect for him.

Damn... the Suns are impressive as hell. Defensive stops when they need one or several stops. They are not a Fluke. It’s no wonder the two losses they had were a combined total of 2 points. That’s nuts. They’re 5-2 now with a tough schedule. I’m jealous.

Minty is a starter coach. He is a coach you hire to mold young players. He is the anti-Gentry. Gentry is in over his skies.

Gentry is the coach you hire if you want to drive a franchise into the pits

I sometimes hate playing so fast. They're so focused on getting the ball up rather than making the smart decisions. Sometimes it looks like I'm watching high schoolers play. Some of the shots that are taken are awful, too many turnovers, defensive lapses. All bad stuff.

Really wild that Gentry has coached the t-1st and 2nd worst 12 game start of the season in Pelicans History... at 1-11 and 2-10...

Well, it's really 2nd and 3rd. The other 1-11 started ended up being a 1-19 start.

We are 1-6 now. Lets get that Lotto pick and draft a SG of the future.
