The Ball may be gone, but the grass won't be Greener on the other side: NOLA Pelicans 2021-22 Thread

[Sghost597]

We swept them every year when Zion was playing. Y'all always overreact to every damn loss lol; season is basically over and we were missing our 2 best players playing a fully healthy top 4 seed. Chill out


No you wouldn't This team wouldn't even be in the playoffs right now if it weren't for those 2 gamewinners from Tae btw; this team is in the play-ins in the west while Lonzo Bust is one again sitting on the bench with knee soreness missing 40+ games like he does every season. Let. it. go.

Who stays healthy anymore? Lol


Probably could of trade him for CJ and keep Hart.

Nobody in the league but Chicago wants the right to pay Lonzo $20 million a year for him to sit out half the season and every game that actually matters. That's why we couldn't get anything but trash for him in a S&T. Portland wouldn't even take a flyer on NAW making pennies and you think they woulda taken Zo's albatross for CJ? Stop it bruh

I don't understand the personal disdain you guys got for him. It's like y'all made him a scapegoat and you won't walk it back. I made him a scapegoat and I can admit that I was wrong. No matter how frustrating Lonzo was... We can do worse and we did. That shyt trade is 50% why we started 3-16.

Lonzo was having 10x the season of Temple, Graham, and Satos shooting 40% from 3pt line, facilitating, and playing some kind of defense.

Yet, he's an albatross. I don't get it. Lonzo stans were mad annoying, but he has talent and value.

nikkas still talking about lonzo? ​

Home Play-In, ya'll

I just quoting it for historical purposes.

We was damn near bout to cry in the last season thread because of the Zion injury and I didn't even want to make a new one

Only team keeping Memphis out the Finals is the Suns

Ja and em will be a tough out in the playoffs

None of that Denver (respectfully), Portland (should've blown up that team years ago), Utah (time to break up Spida and Rudy) bullshyt

 

[Sghost597]

I got my tickets

 

[Easy-E]

I'm still wildin' over the fact how this has been my favorite season in a loooonnngg time

Even with the Zion bullshyt

Herb already cracked my Top 3 Pelicans/Hornets ever

That was last year breh. Memphis is a whole other animal now and they at least took the regular season leap that this team was already projected to

Now I see this team doing similar things next year if they can stay healthy. But even if the stars get hurt or miss time there should be enough depth added after this offseason to supplement that.

Being a play-in team and fringe playoffs ain’t gonna cut it next year. As banged up as the West was this year, it really should be inexcusable this year. But just being in the hunt has prolly bought Griffin another year

Untill this team can fix the 3pt shooting in league worst efficiency and volume. The team has a long way to go for leaping into a 2nd seed standings.

Gonna be another urgent offseason to improve.

I think we close though bruh, I really do

 

[Sghost597]

I think we close though bruh, I really do

All we need is interior defense /Rim protection and league avg 3pt shooting. We are a top team.


Draft Benedict Mathurin. Trade for a shooter that is low value.

Maybe look into what the Pacer might do with Buddy and Brogdon in the offseason.

Find a way to get a better back up center than Willy.

Man it was never close. Spurs always show fight. We were in control the whole game. Unlike Saints games, I wasn't nervous at any point tonight. At any point.
