NY talking heads are going full Tommen from the rooftops.
Boooooy Stephen A Smith is gonna be ON FIRE tomorrow!! BahahahahhaOriginally Posted by msusousaphone
Basketball.
Don't forget Julius Randle the other Kentucky guy.
Catch Alvin Gentry running an offense with Okafor, Zion, and Randle all on the floor at the same time, with all three of them parked behind the three point line.
Yeah. I still want Randle and Payton.
But I do note and appreciate your sarcasm. Lol
Exactly! Freaking awesome though! Griff is the luck charm!
LOL, I was thinking this earlier but thought it was too soon! Over/under on how long before Gentry announces he has Zion working on his 3?
Man......**** these four dudes on ESPN. They've been crying about their NYhomerism and dogging NOLA for 30 min. Go home and cry yourself to sleep tonight, losers.

Should've fired Gentry for not sitting Ian Clark when he got hot. Or whatever that noise was.
But enough. They wanted what we all want. We wanted our team to get great players. Now we have everything in front of us we need. The best player in the draft, ours for the taking. And the single best trade piece in the entire league ready to reap a windfall.
I mean, Zion is not an elite shooter by ANY means, but he was showing signs of improvement towards the end of the season and the ability to shoot to at least a decent rate is important in today's game. He SHOULD be working on it at least a little bit.
But he shouldn't be taking 5+ a game.
It's one of those things. We got extremely lucky tonight, so suddenly all the tanking discussion looks stupid in retrospect.
But if we'd slipped up and we were picking 8th, then the same people who thought tanking was pointless then would be cursing the fact that we didn't lose an extra few games tonight.
Hindsight is 20/20.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

THE NEW ORLEANS PELICANS 2020 TITLE ODDS WENT FROM 300-1 TO 25-1
HAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHA
I felt just like I did in 2012. I hope they do what they want to do. If they want them to play together, fine.
How excited is Alvin Gentry about getting the #1 pick in the NBA Draft?

Not in this spot it isn't. I said then, that it's pointless to freak out. Let things happen. Trying to game reality. To game fate, doesn't guarantee anything. Everything we did, put us exactly where we ended up. For good or bad.
My whole point back then was to stop freaking out so much when we could still come out ahead just as things were.
That tie needs to be hung up in the same trophy case as our future NBA Titles!!
Alvin Gentry is the Dr. Strange of tanking. That timeout against Phoenix was the only universe.

LMFAOOOOOOOO
I disagree on this. Having the Pels, Griz and Lakers in the top 4 just confirms winning or losing one or two games doesn't really matter that much anymore with the new weighting of the lottery. Honestly, it has the desired outcome to prevent tanking just for the sake of seeking a better pick.
You and the ifs!!
Grow up.
We honestly gotta stop teaching these kids that it's "big market or bust." It's awful optics.
That opening silence, and then the immediate, multi-pitched ''DAAAAYMMNNNN!!!'' is the funniest thing I've heard in a week. That's a classic.
Honestly don't think Zion will be as big a diva as to do that. Listening to his interviews over the last six months, he's seemed pretty mature, fairly intelligent, and has said multiple times that he's willing to play for whoever drafts him. Obviously if we screw things up and in 5 years he's never been to the playoffs, maybe he'll want to leave, but I feel like he'll give us a chance.
