New Orleans Pelicans vs Houston Rockets - Preseason - 0-1

[JJackisangry]

I’ll be honest- if everyone stays healthy and we have no casualties I’ll be happy. I want to see them practice things and create good looks and see ball movement, but I’d rather them go winless in the preseason than lose a player before the season starts.

Why for like the last six months when I try to access this site it throws up some kind of pop up that seems super scammy? The tiny flow this site gets can't afford to have such gross invasive adverts.

Haven't had any popups.

Here is an idea of the general confusion going on.

Naji abandons his side of the floor to go help Zion on the other side...???
Dyson is guarding air with literally 4 Rockets in his blind spot...???
CJ now has to split the difference with 2 Rockets...???
Kira compounds the Naji problem by diving too far into the paint and now has 3 Rockets in his blind spot....???

Results in an easy cut into the paint for what should have been an and-1 layup.

There was lots of this bad communication and lazy ball watching on defense throughout. This is simple stuff in a preseason game.

I’m hoping they are really not this bad, and just don’t want to do too much right now.

I would recommend looking up the definition of the word ''mostly''.

Only pointing out an obvious fact that you failed to mention. I was taught that if you want to offer commentary, you should be complete and concise. For you to suggest that the game was lost primarily in the second half by a bunch of non-NBA'ers is an exaggeration of epic proportion...but we are used to it. I was just setting the record straight and......

I was not trying to scratch your itch. I accept you for what you are.

I think Dae understands that this team is in big trouble. They don’t have the leadership or the balls to win. They mope around and just accept beatings. Borrego was very concerned with their effort. He’s not used to his team quitting after one quarter. Pels get punched and take a 10 count knee. It is what it is. I like Willie as a person but he’s way too soft. They need a real leader who demands effort and winning. People can say it’s preseason but the tendencies have never changed for them. When the other team is physical, they want nothing to do with it outside of Herb and Jose.

I agree. They are not mentally tough at all.

First it was Gentry's fault...
Then it was SVG's fault...
So let's hire a neophyte; at least the players like him. He can learn on the job.

This year it was Aaron Nelson's fault...
And, some blame belongs to 'Spoon".

None of those people were responsible for assembling this cast of weak-minded players or making a litany of trading blunders to long to mention. (See Griffin and Langdon)

The players have quit on this organization before the season even has gotten started. In my mind, the whole bunch (not anyone individually) plays with no pride.

Something's off. When I try to access the site, it's initially fine. Then from the main forum I click a thread title and it's giving me a complete page popup on computer and phone. (Mac; from Mexico).

Jose Alvarado interrupted Brandon Ingram's media availability after practice and said, "Tell them, ‘We’ve got to get out ******** together. But don’t worry. Don’t worry.’ "

I wouldn't go that far.

I wish I could transplant his attitude into BI and Zion though.
