Don't look now, but our leading scorer at the half is.....................
Pelicans trail by 32 at halftime.

That's the biggest halftime deficit in team history. Previous was 31 against the Miami Heat on Jan. 23, 2005. (h/t @ESPNStatsInfo)
This is literally a microcosm for our season. Limited Zion to start. Followed by a massive blowout.
The final part is we won our last games in a row and just fall short because we squandered early.
Call me crazy, but would it be crazy to hire Becky Hammond now while she is still in the bubble?
This team should never be down by 32 to anybody.
This is a Gentry failure. And this is a "we dont worry about offense" failure.
Yeah you need to worry about. Otherwise this is inevitable.
We are on pace to lose this game by 64 points
Christ alive, just go home. Pelicans risking COVID death in the bubble just to get murdered.
I've said it before and I''ll say it again.
Alvin Gentry is not the coach of the future for this team. If people are okay with keeping him this year for continuity during the transition, then that's cool I'm not gonna fight too much. Even next year, while I think he puts a hard cap on our ceiling, I can understand wanting that stability for Zion's first real season.
But if Gentry is still the coach of this team in 2 years I will have to just assume that everyone in charge of the franchise has brain worms.
What do you even do?

The players’ heads are completely gone. They blew the game last night and they know it. Gentry can’t rally the troops to save his life either. You have a complete lack of balance on the floor and lack of effort on D. It was written in stone the second we lost against Utah.
If we're having THIS many turnovers, and tonight is just part of it, we're always turning it over. Isn't that suggesting that we have a problem with who is being asked to do what? Clearly either the skillsets needed to do what is asked are lacking, or the people asking them do things out of our skillsets are lacking.
The team has a strong future ahead...but someone is going to not be here who is very integral to our present.
I don't know if Lonzo is ever going to become a player you can count on late in the 4th to do something. Zion and Ingram have shown they want the ball in the clutch already. You don't develop that. You either have it or you don't. Lonzo doesn't. And neither does Jrue.
Elephant in the room is that lonzo is no better than average. Can drive but terrible finisher at the room. Shot improved but still spotty at best. Makes some great passes at times but turns it over and makes questionable decisions
*Let our Cornerstone big man leave for a bunch avg guards and young SF*
Common sense: Maybe we should replace another defensive big man to play the 5.
Gentry: tHiS iS a pOsITiOnLeSs oFfeNe.
*Trade for an blackhole offense PF masquerading as a C*
*Puts E'twaun Moore out there*

Dear God this fool just said to pretend the first half didn’t happen. No wonder we come out of half time so crappy. That is supposed to motivate you to do better and learn. Yet Gentry be like Nah forget about it.
And I'm gonna say it. Zion is way, way, way too heavy. He's looking like Robert Traylor (RIP) out there. The dude needs to slim, way, way, way, way down. It's not because of injury. It's because of fatigue. It's because I'd rather Zion be quick, and light. Than strong and lumbering.
