    These injuries are just depressing me man. It's like we are cursed by George Shinn or something. I don't understand how injuries are a constant main storyline every.damn.year.

    so when does the panic start to sink in?

    When everybody comes back healthy and the team continues to struggle collectively.

    It's depressing to look at the standings and see these mofos all the way at the bottom. It's lonely down there.

    Yeah but look at the injuries. If ? keep going down hill after everyone gets back then it is panic time.

    Bruh I hear what you saying but we been having injury problems for years. When the last time we were at full strength with everybody 100%? Either these dudes are Humpty Dumpty, the trainers are remedial or it's a little bit of both.

    funny how differently a relatively healthy team plays huh?

    Also helps that Ryno has been playing lights out!!

    Ish Smith makes Norris Cole expendable now

    read that the pelicans had the same training staff as the Saints

    Yikes

    i thought they upgraded

    if this is true, Benson is running this team like a hobby instead of a business

    and if anyone has paid attention to Benson, dude is clearly out of it

    well, if the first quarter was any indication of what this team can be when healthy, then i like it

    even though they lost, there were still a couple of positives i took from the game

    i didnt expect to see Cole get so many minutes though. I would've played Ish more.

    Looking like the decision to move on from Eric Gordon in the offseason is already under way with his move to the bench. And I heard all offseason how he would be the one to benefit the most from this system.

    Dude is a complete all around below average player, ? scored 10 points in the 1st quarter last night and didn't score a single point for the rest of the game.

    Can we just gut this team and start over. Get rid of Gordon, Holiday and whoever else isn't worth it.

    We're in for a long season, I'mma back of my prediction of us winning 30+ games and say we're only gonna win 20+. This season is a combination of under performing players, lackluster leadership being displayed from the team's franchise player, and just flatout poor coaching, especially on the defensive side. If we had absolutely no flexibility going into the offseason then I'd have to say that Dell Demps absolutely deserves to be fired immediately.

    I think we inherited some bad contracts with Holiday and Asik that won't be so easy to move without us giving up something.

    I could be wrong I'm not a wiz nor do I follow contracts and stuff like some of y'all do but Holiday is always hurt and Asik has just been ass.

    I don't think he's a good fit for this team anyway; they need to put an athletic big beside AD imo.

    Gentry prefers to play small ball so the center position isn't likely to see heavy minutes, no matter who the player is. The only way Ajinca is seeing minutes is because Asik is stinking it up so bad.

    Y'all resigned asik for 5 years/60 mil in the summer. No inheritance there
