Even if that were the reason. You're supposed to be a leader. I gave him passes for his 4th quarter performances cause he was being overused, which effected his stamina. But what I'm seeing in 3rd quarters, makes no sense. Missing shots, and making poor decisions.

Some of it is bad coaching, and not having good offensive sets or continuity, but he's still not playing well.

We wait until the last 5 minutes to start playing hard lmaooo

We need to start the wink, wink tank. Start giving Kira, NAW, & Hayes a ton more minutes. Try to get Lonzo & JJ’s trade stock up if that’s even possible lol. Hopefully get lucky with the lotto balls and get a top 5 pick to land either Cade Cunningham, Jalen Suggs, Jalen Green, or Jonathan Kuminga

Lonzo is shooting 27.7% from 3 this year.

Absolutely dismal.

Stan Van Gundy has agreed to be the New Orleans Pelicans head coach. The deal is for four years, The Athletic's Shams Charania reports. The 12-year head coach will replace Alvin Gentry, who went 175-225 in five seasons with the Pelicans.

Can’t keep blaming coaches

This roster isn’t very good outside of a few solid individual players

BRANDON INGRAM IS NOT A MAX PLAYER!

Am I surprised. Not really. Atleast David Griffin won't live to waste our picks..

I mean, there's certainly things you can point to which are SVGs fault.

BUt he isn't making Lonzo turn down wide open shots at the rim. He's not making Lonzo shoot 27% from 3. He's not making Redick shoot 30% from 3. That's not his fault.

Ingram fumbles again on a FAST BREAK opportunity. I give up.

If we could only not turn the ball over a for a few possessions they could pull this one off LMAO

BI passing up an open swing pass to Hart just to turn it over on an ISO

2 points in the 2nd half

It's getting abysmal.

Ingram has 7 turnovers this game.

I think 4 of them have been in the 4th.

Contract def went to BI's head..he doesnt give af anymore..

Definite overstatement.. You won't find a lot of 23 year olds that can put up his kind of numbers.

He does look terrible right now though..

Zion not getting the ball rn so Eric Bledsoe can go in his bag. Jesus christ man, I need a drink.

Idk, my nephew is 21 and I think he could manage to go 0/4 from 3 and turn it over 7 times

;)

Just kidding please do not take this as a serious criticism.

This kind of commentary is weird to me lol.. I get being frustrated at what we're seeing but you're way off.

lonzo can only shoot in garbage time..he is garbage and it should be a felony what Stan is doing to Kira..the energy is so much better when he is out there pushing the pace...

lol

Don't care about Lonzo finally hitting some shots after going 0/5 from three all game long. Too little too late. Easy to show up when you've already lost and the pressure's off.

Ready for that 11 pt 3 5 Ball highlight video. Lol

All good boss lol.. I'm really at a loss for what needs to be done with this team. Seems we're stuck with Stan. I don't know that he can unlock our current personnel offensively.
