Random NBA Observations 2020 - 2021

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

We’re literally talking about making the 9th and 10th breh

You just have to be average enough to make it to those two slots considering the bar has been lowered even more to get in.

And?
The teams above them are better

what team are the Pelicans better than?

and Steph’s supporting cast is even worse, yet he’s still willing them to victory.

If we’re calling everyone who puts up numbers superstars around the league, then they gotta will their teams in to the “play-in” tournament.

Again.....
Zion is playing his 1st full season

Pelicans don't have a playmaker equivalent to Draymond

Seriously

Seriously

They’ve literally blown 14 games this season after leading in double digits

People can make excuses for them all they want, but they cats are losing games that they shouldn’t.

It's a team game

It's a team game

So the entire team is a colossal failure and don’t deserve to be in the play-in tournament. It’s amazing how people keep making excuses for those dudes when the stats show they should be a better team than their record.

Even if they managed to win even 5 of those 14 games, they wouldn’t be on the outside looking in of their playoffs. Dudes are literally making excuses for teams failures out here

I mean you just said it yourself, they've blown 14 games this season after leading double digits. Coming into the season yes everybody thought they'd be better, but games aren't won on paper.

Which is totally fine, but dudes gotta stop making excuses for this teams failure this season and call it like it is.

People keep point to the supporting cast as being awful, yet the numbers and stats say otherwise.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

what stats?

They’ve blown 14 games this season after leading double digit. That leads the NBA.

Even if they managed to win even 4-5 of those games, then they would be in play-in contention instead of being 3.5 games back.

All they literally have to do is be average, which is the premise of my point.

 

[Street Knowledge]

They’re not even pretending to play defense in this wolves/kings game

that stat shows that their defense is bad despite their offense
Pels off rating 9th, def rating 27th

Bledsoe < Jrue defensively
Ingram has regressed defensively
Zion is spotty
SVG has not lived up to his rep as a defensive coach

Even then, there’s still no excuse to blow that many games. As I’ve said, all they have to do is be average at if and they’d be in play-in contention.

We’re talking about 14 blown games after leading in double digits. That reflects bad on everybody as they can’t even make the 9th and 10th seed. That’s not too much to ask for from these dudes.
