Excluding Golden State, the Pelicans are the team I least want to face in the Playoffs.

All you have to do is outcoach Gentry for 4 games. Gentry will do that 2 games on his own.

Trash coach that can't coach up players or adjust on the defensive side. Got a glorified OC at HC.

What is he specifically doing wrong on defense from a tactical standpoint

How do you overturn that?

Cousins 44
Davis 34

and they won by 4 points to the Bulls at home in overtime? Something ain't adding up

AD fouled out. Rondo barely played. Miller was playing for us not them.

Wiggins still styling on nikkas

What is he specifically doing wrong on defense from a tactical standpoint

Rotation, personel issues, discipline, assignments, fundamentals, and zone are just hella soft and exploitable. Plus, the team simply don't have defensive synergy. Much like Gentry... it's a very offensive, high tempo minded team. Top 5 in scoring bottom in the league in defense. Then, we try to keep Boogie or AD on the perimeter because our wings are trash at defending the 3. A great offensive team, but a mash up defensive unit that aren't cohesive or complementary at all to each other.

The old dude is funny as hell.


Nuggets tried hard as hell to lose that game at the end. Chandler just gave up on a rebound half way through getting it & then they slapped it out instead of grabbing it with a guy like Dame standing back there.

Bulls went on a run in the 3rd and 4th........Pelicans couldn't score for an eternity in the 3rd, then tied it by the end of the 3rd. In the 4th the Bulls took an 18 point lead. The game looked over until the Pelicans closed the 4th with a 22 to 2 run to take the lead until the foul on Holiday that sent it to OT.

Interesting so his coaching choices over “rotations” “assignments” and “personnel issues” are hella soft and exploitable ... can you just kind of explain to me what that means or give an example?

Most nba teams run a minimal amount of zone ...so you think he has utilized the zone defense too much over his tenure?

Plus, the team simply don't have defensive synergy. Much like Gentry... it's a very offensive, high tempo minded team. Top 5 in scoring bottom in the league in defense. Then, we try to keep Boogie or AD on the perimeter because our wings are trash at defending the 3.

This is interesting .... you’re saying that they keep AD and Boogie on the wings when playing defense
