"We The #1 Stunnas" 2019-20 NOLA Pelicans Official Season Thread

[Sghost597]

I was literally about to post about this



We're gonna have to draft somebody from www.toastmasters.org in order to get the team to talk to each other?

Team full of incels...I hate it

What are they gonna wanna talk about?


Remember that sick dunk down 20 points on our 10 game losing streak while they got to run 4.5 miles a game and lay bricks.

Sounds like a horror film. Bunch of quiet dudes just staring at you all wide eye.

It gets worse. The players are only responding to Finch.

I remember a line FROM AD during the trade drama. It wasn't fun anymore. Watching that offense. It seems to really grind on you to run that much every other night. Then, practice. Play again.

Would ya be opposed to LaMelo?
Jrue could cover his defense, while his arrival could improve Zo’s play, plus another shot creator should help BI and Zion.

I think the last thing this fukkin roster needs is ANOTHER little ass guard (not height but weight wise in Lamelo's case but still) that can't/won't defend shyt. I know you always take the best player available when it comes to lottery picks 99 times outta 100... but this roster is absolutely starved for any kind of actual front court players and it is putting a hard, destitute cap on our floor and ceiling. If we're in a position to choose between Melo/Edwards and Wiseman... I'd take Wiseman 1000 times outta 1000 right now.

Now if Griff and Trajan would get up off their asses, cut that tall for nuthin sieve Jah, and made a trade with their treasure trove of picks and expirings for some long term front court help (I don't see Favors coming back to this shytshow after this season) my opinion might change... but the state of the roster combined with the fact that I don't even view Melo as necessarily better than Edwards or Wiseman as a prospect to begin with makes me not the biggest fan of the idea. I don't think it's gonna matter in the end cause I'm 99% sure the NBA is not gonna allow us the privilege of picking top 3 2 years in a row after how we've shyt the bed this season with the 30 national TV games they gave us and fukked up their $$ and ratings big time. I'd bet we'll end up stuck next to the Wizards in the #6-9 lottery pick purgatory and will have to just make do with whatever's left, and Melo won't be on the table at that point.

Pass. The only guard I draft would be RJ Hampton or Edwards. Okungwu is my top big over Wiseman at the moment.

Wiseman defensive feel in the paint is not there yet. He gives up a lot of bad positioning and gives up too many points in the paint. They wanna call him AD Lite, but AD was very polished on defensive prospect coming into the league. Wise is not. He's still raw physical talent.

But he's slowly going into the category of his biggest talent is being tall. Hopefully, he continues to improve.

Melo can go bust somewhere else.

David Griffin needs to do it

 

[Easy-E]

It's crazy a 10 pt lead feels as good as being 5 pts up with how bad we are

 

[ALonelyDad]

Much better effort tonight, you can see how big off a difference a real big makes.

Now the bad..Gentry playing Okafor instead of Hayes even with Favors back, still using 4 guard lineups vs big teams, playing Ingram at 4..Ingram is too skinny to play the 4 and he struggles but Gentry loves using him there

 

[The Special Man]

You know we might be shyt now but at least we got draft picks and don’t have a bunch of shytty contracts.




Despite everything that’s happening it’s hard not to feel optimistic about the future seeing as we actually have options now and the Benson is willing to spend money on the team now.






But goddamn we’re living in the worst timeline

Ingram is tough as nail for being young and Undersized. Can't wait till he hits 25 where weight will start to stick

Let's be real; we had HELLA bad luck with all these got damn injuries.

Our DEFENSE IS

I'm loving B.I.

But, we need big men

We've always had bad luck with injuries it's just nice to see that we aren't buried in bad contracts and we have our pick. Now we've got the assets to get players.





Man dealing with those Omer Asik, Solomon Hill and Alexis Ajinca contracts without having our first round pick
