January 23rd - New Orleans Pelicans @ Minnesota Timberwolves - 5-9

[UNO Gracias]

Not a quarter way into the season, franchise cornerstone level talent, headed for the lottery.

Before that Pacers loss everyone was fighting for this team including Ingram. This team is desperate for a leader but all we have are locker room concerns and a horribly mismatched backcourt.

Wasn't grit and competitiveness the reason we brought in Bledsoe and Adams?

People need to chill out. Can't worry about every little thing.

You just lost to a JV team

Pelicans Twitter is a savage wasteland. You have folks going for Griffs throat, then folks defending Griff are going at those folks necks, while Zo stans are going for the throats of anyone who will listen, and then people who aren?t down with SJWVG are saying he should focus his attention to the team, and I am just here wondering where is Ja?

Gosh if we lose Monday.

Pelicans Twitter is great because there's about 4 people who know anything about basketball and then like, a bunch of football guys who pay attention to basketball just enough to know we're losing but not nearly enough to understand anything about it, and then 50 million Lonzo stans who insist we're losing because he doesn't get 25 shots a game lmao

And of those 4 people who know anything about basketball 2 of them actually know what they are talking about, the other two have degrees in English.

Some of those threads are quite impressive. “I find it hard to care about this team” guy, I don’t know him, but I feel him.

They really need a chill. Act surprised when a bad team loses to another bad team. We've only been doing it for 15 years lol

Exactly.

Eh, I have a degree in English and Philosophy and I know more about basketball than half the people on ''real hoopers hoop'' twitter lmao

I don't judge on that

Edit: Tim Duncan has a degree in psychology and he did classes in anthropology and Chinese literature. Basketball knowledge is available to all.

What this team could really do with right now is a little bit of a shakeup.

Make a trade. Ship Lonzo or Bledsoe out for the first reasonable offer you get. A team offers you a 10th man and a 2nd rounder for Lonzo? Do it. A top ten protected pick from a decent team for Bledsoe? Sure, have him.

They're not long term assets anyway, so use them to send a message to the team: if your name isn't Zion or Ingram, you can be out the door if you don't wake up.

Isn't there a date when trades start?

He is actually right

The worst team in the NBA (Minnesota) on a back-to-back and playing without its 2 best players (KAT, Russell) beating the Pelicans after 3 quarters.

Minny up 87-78

They've already started. Cleveland traded KPJ to Houston, Harden got traded to Brooklyn, etc etc. There's different rules for newly signed players, I don't remember when that deadline is, but you can trade most players already. Lonzo and Redick, for example, could go tomorrow.

The comment about the English degree is to say they really don’t know basketball, they know how to write a good article. Sometimes a pen is just a pen.

I would assume that a guy like Griff is making these moves with the next move in mind, the problem is that next move requires a certain commodity (player, talent, contract) that might not be available in the window he is looking for. So where does that leave us other than with a team complied of randomly sparse roster that ain’t goin nowhere. Unless those commodities become available to us, we are going to waste Ingram and Zion’s talents) just as we did AD and CP3’s before them.

We are so hard to watch I make my children watch Pels games when they misbehave.

True.

No slight against anyone with an English degree. I work in ibanking, and my boss has a degree in romantic literature.
