I, for one, welcome our new space overlords.
Zion's been unfit for three years now. Even this year he played at his own pace, luckily teams don't defend during the regular season. First time he HAS to play hard he couldn't even finish the game. It's not bad luck, it's what happens when you push your body to extents it's not used to.

Vilinizing Ingram just shows how Sports fans can be so unfair. The guy has been their go-to star player for 3 or 4 year now. Always working hard when he's available, even when Zion missed a whole season just because he didn't wanna get fit. This year they made a 65 game rule for incentives and the guy finally started trying.

When the cool talented kid decides to 'try', we now shyt on good players who show up and are dedicated:francis:

Even Willie Green benching Ingram in those critical moments was bad coaching. Your most reliable star the last 4 years had a bad shooting night and you benched him in the 4th. What does he do next season when Zion comes back weighing 350 pounds? Give his all?

1. Willie green can’t coach worth shyt.. pelicans have no offensive game plan at all.. its like ok nikkas if u get the ball do the best u can… Lakers was sitting back on defense just relaxing

2. Klay and Paul is washed.. but trash team like the Nets will offer klay like 2 year 50 million dollar deal

3. Please Chicago get Atlanta the fukk outta here

I think Zion is a beast but it's hard to argue with this reasoning. How many years in a row now has it been? The Pelicans need this guy the most and he can't play due to injury.

I'm not a Pelicans fan but it's crazy how people are shytting on Ingram when if you ask me I think he's been more impactful to New Orleans success and improvement over these last few seasons than Zion has ever been so far.

Yes, we know Zion is the franchise guy so he's going to be given the benefit of the doubt but Ingram has been not only more impactful but also more reliable and dependable for the Pels not just just this but the last 3 or so years.

The Pelicans improvement has less to do with Zion but more to do with BI and you could throw CJ in the mix as well.
