Let’s officially start the tank so we can officially stop caring.
Per @cleantheglass, the Pelicans' starters without Zion (CJ-Herb-BI-Trey-JV) have a minus-26.3 net rating so far this season.
That's the worst of any 5-man unit with at least 300 possessions. The second-worst group has a minus-15.4 net rating.https://t.co/zzKoqzeNvX

This is why we rag on the coaching staff. At some point, you have to realize when something isn’t working, and they are so incompetent at it. Maybe go with those Jax – JV units that worked for us in the past. Rim protection is a major problem, so what do they do? They play a banged up Larry Nance Jr at the 5.
Lmao and we gonna roll this lineup right back in tomorrow
It’s not even about the lineup because it worked fine last year, the problem is the coaching staff wants BI and CJ playing slow paced one-on-one every possession
Pels need a rim protector that can possibly stretch the floor next season. Or jus a straight up rim protector, plus herb getting his shot back. Moves needa be made either way
Its like playing a SG as PG and a SF as PF is bad. Also the PF and the C are both bad at D
Really doesn’t even make sense. I did hear on the Lowe post pod a hypothesis that Jaxson Hayes giving us some rim pressure might be the difference between this year and last. I did think him and Val were a great pair in the way they balance each others weaknesses
