I agree 100% Glad someone in media telling it like it is. The fans are being ripped off!

So fans have a right to bristle. After sitting in the arena, it’s immensely fair to feel misled and bamboozled by what’s transpired.
In retrospect, we probably should’ve seen this for the house of cards it is.
Asking Holiday to morph into an alpha star was a stretch. Leaning on a variety of young players arriving from a losing environment to suddenly be able to win nightly is awkward.
And dismissing the fragility of an oft-injured franchise and a 6-foot-6, 285-pound phenom whose physique is the most unique in the NBA, because of an accomplished new training staff was probably naive.
But, we in the media bought it. So did the fans and television networks.New Orleans has lost six straight games. The stark truth is they’re a flawed team, playing in a flawed style, under flawed directives.
