Love that Jonas has extended already. Might need to get a jersey
We need more guys willing to plant roots here
The most overused words on Pelicansreport.com. Wrongly, I might add.
ELITE - (often used with a plural verb) the choice or best of anything considered collectively, as of a group or class of persons.
GREAT - notable; remarkable; exceptionally outstanding
These words should not be used lightly
Only 22 3PA the 1st half. Our perimeter really isn't being tested and we aren't shooting much either.
With or without Zion, I'm not looking forward to 3PT centric teams. Let's take home a win, tho. Worry about that later.
I like a lot of what I’m seeing. Even Murphy getting a ton of coverage is good. Now he’s gotta adjust. And it’ll make him better for it.
Jonas seems to be rushing it by like a fraction. Barely at all. But it’s impacting his ability to finish.
Do pels fans only show up in the building when it's the playoffs?
Almost like Sato shouldn?t see a minute or something.
I honestly thought we played well for the most part- but holy moly. We can’t miss that much in the paint. Same signs we saw in preseason
Got a talent problem always had.
It's felt mostly on the bench, but we got young guys that need to develop to fill those gaps.
Team still feels a year away from competing
I don't think i've ever seen a team miss as many layups and put backs in one game. Just easy buckets for a normal team.
Thanks Zion. Could have used you Heavy Z.
Willie green and Griffin is on their last year. A new Gm will come in and pick his own coach. We need better talent on this team. Giving large contracts to mediocre talent is going to hamper this team. We need players who can create their own shots and make them. A lot of these guys belong in the d league.
Five points off the bench
When teams focus on raining 3s... I think we are gonna get beat badly a few times without Zion. We still have zero answers for a shootout.
Agreed.
And I don't think it was THAT bad.
Gotta give Willie a few months to get his system to settle in and they both deserve people to wait until Zion hits the court the before we can start the "clean house" talk.
I just feel the issue with this team is it needs a leader. BI is doing his best to lead by example (and I certainly don’t think he is the problem), but so often we just seem to lack confidence and direction. Hopefully SOMEBODY can take over that role as the season progresses, but I can see the same issues cropping up if somebody doesn’t step up. We are just missing freebies
Positives: NAW looked good (on offense). I like what Naji did defensively. Kira was more comfortable out there.
Negatives: Garrett Temple and Korkmaz are on the same contract. Let that sink in.
Interesting point the commentating crew made about Hart being the on court coach for defense. Things went downhill when he got hurt. And yeah, we need more players who can step up and be that vocal coach on D but this is game one of a new system and we have a super young team. More people will step up as the season moves on.
Flash: Brandon Ingram did not shoot a single Free Throw.
