November 4th - New Orleans Pelicans @ Brooklyn Nets - 1-5

Don’t forget the worst coach

But its a murderer's row 5 of 7 though. But this team has enough talent to win most of these games.

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

[JJackisangry]

They shot 77 percent and made a bunch of 3s. That’s not a realistic efficient offense. Also, if you score 48 points in a quarter, a big lead should be the result.

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

[Nichols]

Giannis can't shoot like Ingram..

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

[13 - 3]

There was no iteration of possibility where we skip the rebuild right into being a contender. Maybe we could've overachieved and gotten further than we should've...but I don't know if that's the best for our long term outlook. And to speak on this abstract whatever you're talking about as corrupting is without merit. I mean, the Sixers went from a garbage team to one of the NBAs finest.

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?

I agree. BI is smooth as silk

[As I See It]

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.

[Fedupfan]

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.

Is it choking to lose to the Finals champion?

[JJackisangry]

That doesn't make sense. Ingram is having a career start to the season, and it's in an isolated vacuum? Gentry isn't corrupting him? Or Josh Hart? Or Zo's shot?

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.

I believe the Sixers had a lead in that series too. Crying Embiid

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.

[DirtySouf]

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...

Both coaches > Gentry

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.

[Eman5805]

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.

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

[Fedupfan]

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

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.

[Eman5805]

Both coaches > Gentry

No arguments there

[Fedupfan]

I think we are just tired of it man. It’s hard to do after 5 years of this.

[UNO Gracias]

we need a big who is all about rebounding with some post up offense....defensive scheme is all new with new players learning both ends of the court...defense should come together next month I hope....

Then you want Steven Adams, and I do too.

[JJackisangry]

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

[Eman5805]

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.
