Also, while they were playing, I hope somebody broke into the Nets' team bus and stole all of Ben Simmons' shyt :dead:

Yup, in a way I understand it that they want to have them out 100% but I get why fans get frustrated. My only issue is their communication. BI's initial diagnose was day-to-day :mjlol: Just be upfront, but they have done this since year 1 for some reason.

Pels medical staff still call it a toe contusion instead of a toe sprain. Like I wouldn't trust these doctors much at all.

Tough one :francis: but going in I didn't really expect them to win this one anyway.

Herb has been looking shaky.
His jumper is in hell but hard to sit him down because his defense is necessary and he's earned the spot with his play last year. If this continues though, it's gonna be tough to not put him on the bench. Trey being so green on defense also makes it a little tough. Naji looking like the best of both world right now:sas2:

My bad brehs :mjlol: I was just heated about him accidentally injuring BI. He's using his goonery for good now and he's killing it.

Devonte has been playing better too.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming :beli:

BI been out two months :to:

I thought the blood clots would be an issue...but dude is injury prone...it might be time to have that conversation

I would hate it...but, I was ready to ship him for KD

Clark: Brandon Ingram's extended absence with toe bruise has left Pelicans frustrated

If Ingram's not back before Zion/ASB he won't be on this team come next season. Over 2 months for a toe injury with no structural damage, no timetable at all for a return, and hasn't even participated in 1 full practice yet. Whole organization is about to be done with him if this keeps up. :francis: It's horrible to see too cause dude looked like he was capable of being part of a real championship core the way he dismantled the Suns defense these past playoffs. For whatever reason these superstar duos just aren't meant to be in NOLA I guess; as soon as the Zion drama subsided and things started looking up... what should be his key running mate immediately bows out with no sign of returning. This gonna be the most important trade deadline since AD asked out, hope Griff and the FO are ready for it. :sadcam:

He probably should get some more playing time but he plays absolutely no defense :manny:

He doesn’t but he is still a good enough player to get mins elsewhere. Just a bad fit on this roster since Jonas is just a better version of him. People should have zero issues with a player wanting to play especially if he would be valued more elsewhere. I can understand his frustration.
