sharkpotato 1,175 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 At least the steals came back. But ******** hell, have Bledsoe come off the bench or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lethotjames23 335 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 yeah SVG is way smarter than this. they have the worst spacing in the league. they have to know by now you can barely have 1 guy that can't shoot, let alone 3 on the court at the same time. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
m1dday 300 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Yeah, I really hope SVG comes to his senses at some point... especially given how badly they're losing right now lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lethotjames23 335 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 i'm not mad at this line for the first game back. he hits a couple of those 3s and its fine. not giving up on him yet, but i understand the frustration at this point Quote Link to post Share on other sites
indigorivers 385 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Fine with this line. Did it in 23 mintues. Could have been a really great one with more time. I can't stand to watch this team. This is the type of roster construction that will turn players against eachother. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kilslo 200 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Not much is gonna change with Lonzo in NO. Not only have they taken the ball out of his hands but they are also running a very much slower paced offense this year. All we can hope for is he gets moved to the bench to salvage some assists or better yet gets traded Kevin O’Connor reported last week that more than half the executives he polled believe the Pelicans are one of the most likeliest teams to make a trade and the writing has been kinda on the wall with them not extending Lonzo (also having drafted guards the last two drafts) So here’s hoping Zo finds himself w the Knicks or Magic by the deadline Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tazdingo 363 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 The fact that SVG turned a team which had the 5th fastest team last season to the 25th fastest team this season needs to be pointed out as the main reason why Lonzo can't flourish. He easily worked well in transition and he can't do that when SVG also uses Ingram as the main distributor now.

brosephd 1,330 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 hope he gets traded, only chance we get for him to have value. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beejay6020 199 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I really did get lured in with the holiday gone, point is his and lob city to Zion preseason hype. I thought surely they stagger Bledsoe or one comes off bench. I think they will make a change soon, they can’t keep rolling out him as a wanna be SG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
indigorivers 385 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Svg saying he wants to play with pace. "Off misses run. Get to your spots. Zo will find you" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lethotjames23 335 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 this team is so ******** stubborn in regard to the bledsoe thing. its absolutely ridiculous lol. everyone on the outside looking in can see it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sharkpotato 1,175 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 All this losing can't be bad right? It just means that SVG HAS to change something.. or the GM will do it himself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
indigorivers 385 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Someone needs to get benched or traded. This is pathetic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

affliction 2,172 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) Time to pack those bags Zo. Let the young bucks develop. It’e also his best option to succeed he isn’t a fit under Ron Jeremy playing the Bradley Beal role Edited January 26 by affliction Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KB24MVP 188 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Alexander Walker would become pretty relevant if Lonzo gets traded huh? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Percentages aint great, but those stats ^ are pretty useful in most leagues. Oh wait a min, it's JormaJormala! Why am I responding to a post by you with a legit response lol. Silly me.
