it’s a system every player should play in at least once

David Griffin is a fukking moron.
* Announced to the world they would be trading Brandon Ingram: never traded Ingram.
* Let Val walk and never signed a real center. Has the team starting Daniel Theis.
* Continues to employ Willie Green even though the team has made ZERO progress under his watch and has regressed.
* Was going to allow CJ to be in the starting lineup even before Trey Murphy got injured.
they wont win 49 games if they play like this. putrid. I know dejounte fractured his hand but damn
Disgusting loss by the Pelicans especially with no Steph
all good points. I forgot trey murphy is injured. they just lost to buddy fukking hield tho. Thats pathetic
CJ shyt the bed, like it's the postseason
or wiggins. they got beat by buddy hield and.....*checks notes*......lindy waters

Buddy can shoot… GS will literally bring this biggest asset out of him
Very disgusted but this is a coaching/FO thing now. You need a PG thats gonna run the offense, play defense, and at least hit an open jumper.they wont win 49 games if they play like this. putrid. I know dejounte fractured his hand but damn
That is not McCollum. 5 points as the 3rd scoring option? 30-40 points by 10 other people not named BI or Williamson?

Dude just had a nice drive lol he look like they picked him up out the stands or something. Played lacrosse now he in the L that’s wild. A god teammate to have though that lacrosse shyt different
i think the alvarado thing has run its course. everyone knows about the inbound steal. He's not bringing much besides that (and i think they extended him this past offseason). They need to overhaul the roster.
CJ getting 30 million to put up 5 points in 30 mins isn't the move.
sure, but u cant have buddy hield outplay ur entire roster damn near. Didn't even exploit his ass on defense like most competent organizations. He was taking nikkas off the dribble and shyt this game. The Pels gotta take that shyt personal or something. goddamn

no one really. he was moving off the ball and it lead to a lot of open 3's. He was also driving, so it was a few people guarding that. They just couldn't stop Buddy hield.
Again, someone had to take that shyt personally. Pels just soft as hell. Reggie miller and Harland said before the game started that this was a very winnable game. But u can see that the Pels looked like they were scared of the moment after the 1st half. They might just be a soft ass team.
Remember Charles Barkley was making fun of them forr being soft in that playoff game last season against OKC. They just might not have it mentally

The #1 Rated Mixtape of all Time
Idk if this Pels team needs a 3 for 1 trade for a star level guy or just a real PG and not CJ fukking McCollum. I would’ve tried to flip the latter last season but the Pels seemed to want to keep this core together as long as able.
I just don’t get what a CJ-Alvarado/Jordan Hawkins-Ingram-Zion-Herb Jones lineup is supposed to do. Zion and Ingram also really stink at creating for others, at least compared to other high usage supposed play makers. That “I’m going to run at Draymond who’s right at the rim, do a corkscrew and chuck it at some 3 pt shooter” shyt Zion was doing looked worse than 2024 Ben Simmons play making. They rarely had to help
Bill Simmons and co has gone over it ad nauseam, but I think they’re just stuck with Ingram unless they give up a very plus asset. Which might’ve been worth considering for KAT. Only problem is you still don’t have a play maker for others (and why would Minnesota take Ingram ofc).

Totally forgot they even had that nikka…and gave up Dyson Daniels who now looks like a stud to do it…I’ll forgive em a lil I guess. But CJ still brings the team down to me. Would’ve rather turned that into a spacing 5, which would’ve assisted a Murray-Zion-Ingram cluster fukk. They probably don’t do that now since Murray’ll be out for a grip - need someone to be the nominal PGthey wont win 49 games if they play like this. putrid. I know dejounte fractured his hand but damn

I don’t know what to think about the Brooklyn Nets 
They seem to be a hard working deep team full of second/third option scorers/reliable bench players. They generate offense by committee. They lack stars, they don’t have legit #1 scoring option/no go to guy but they keep things simple on offense, execute well and work hard ad a team.
Their ceiling for them this season might be a 44-38 record and a play-in spot (7th-10th seeds) and a 1st round exit if they ever make the official playoffs.
