Well that sucked. Zion looked good but thats about it. We need to figure out the defense and we need to play through Zion and BI significantly more early in the game. Back to .500. Back at it Saturday vs the Rockets.

Defeat playoff team on the road, give up a scheduled win at home
Weâre so inconsistent itâs becoming a consistency

Man. I hate sports seasonal depression.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
RUN POINT ZION. IT WORKS
ccehowell
Did Zion make more 3s than CJ tonight lol⊠but seriously whatâs up with CJ shooting. Ingram better get CJ and Trey in the gym!
rhettvasquez
Ooooooof.
_Wado3000
Jerami Grant looked like a superstar tonight, and yea being on a B2B wasnât easy. But Coach Willie needs to work on a **hell** of a lot going forward. Both in teaching our guys, and his own highly questionable decisions.
alpacamegafan
Two teams I didnât want to lose to on this stretch of games: the Lakers and the Blazers. We lost to both of them.
babyduck703
No more âweâre only so and so many games into the seasonâ.
That was a pathetic loss and they should be ashamed.
AHSfav
Can we get some actual plays? We need more movement and less CJ just throwing up bullshit
Pelicans_Got_Next
Iâm tired of Guards going off on us when we have a good perimeter defender in Dyson Daniels just suiting on the bench
Pinky1337
A lot of things I expected this team to be this season, boring to watch wasnt one of them
LuthorNZ
Another pathetic showing. We’re well and truly a .500 team now, and CJ is making sure of it.
As soon as Willie let’s us play through BI/Zion and starts playing Dyson, we might salvage the playoff status.
supa14x
The fact that we let CJ run the offense and freeze out our star players is pure insanity. This is on Zion and BI as much as it is on CJ and scheme. Quit the timid shit
Wrecker1127
Damn we are average at best, but we are better than last year. Doesnât look like we have a big three yet this year. Back to backs suck too.
ccehowell
Why canât Jose get a shot to start maybe coming off the bench a few games will reset CJ!
Bean315
As an OG NOLA fan- 6-6 is awesome. But for the love of god we are paying a lot of money to players that are actively killing us when we should be murdering people.
BobMarleynthewhalers
Last year Willie Green drove to Devontaes house and told him he was coming off the bench. Until He start to actually being a coach and disciplining these players for poor effort and poor play we are not going anywhere. Everyone is too comfortable and they are all babied because they know they will get playing time. Embarassing loss.
LSUfanatic
Willie Green has been straight up bad so far this year, I wonder when Dyson will finally start getting minutes in games where we aren’t ravaged by injury.
SpaceAfricanJesus
Idk what I even just saw
Zion started so well on both sides of the ball, just didnât get the number of shots he needed. 4th quarter they were forcing him a bit too much, which was working fine honestly on offense, but his defense was regressing hard.
BIs 3 fouls in what, 4 minutes haunted him for the rest of the night. Idk what else to say, he was off on defense in the 2H and 5 fouls, 5 turnovers isnât great.
JV missed a couple of layups early that couldâve made the ending more interesting
CJ had another terrible shooting night (what else is new)
Idk what Willie is even doing anymore. Not playing through your stars, the whole Dyson debacle, and Grahams 4th quarter minutes just confuse me.
Trey seems to have gotten some swagger back, thatâs always a positive.
This is a team with talent and theyâre not playing like it. I get that 6-6 is better than 1-11 but thatâs not a high bar.
Agreeable-Fig-1132
BI getting hot in the 1st quarter and then proceeding to play like a role player the rest of the way is exactly why I can’t put him in the Tatum or Mitchell tier. He’s every bit as talented and skilled as them, but his lack of aggression and passiveness absolutely wrecks the team. The team goes as BI goes, and when he doesn’t show up, the entire team plays like garbage.
ihatetothat1
We need to package CJ with the lakers pick and upgrade. This guy ainât it
ENProcess
CJ should just be a spot-up shooter, he’s way too inefficient handling the ball, just play point Zion I’d rather have 29 on 9/14 than 13 on 6/17
FlockedDown
How many times does Willie Green got to get out coached before he makes a change. How many times do we have to watch an inferior team outplay us? How many times does he have to look at our rotations sucking before he makes a single change. The only change he’s made has been to glue dyson to the bench in that lakers game and we have started sucking every game since. It’s honestly pathetic that we play this way.
toinettejr
Put CJ on a non Covid illness protocol till he healthy
Vince3737
I actually liked how Zion was used tonight, but he can’t wait till the 4th to be aggressive. Same with BI. They need to realize they are the guys on this team and play like it from start to finish. To be fair, they both got into early foul trouble and that likely was part of the reason they were not aggresive the whole game
​
And I love CJ. He would be SO good for us as a pass first player who scores off of Zion and BI’s gravity. But my god he needs to stop playing like he is the #1 option. Its killing us right now
​
And yeah, I don’t think I need to say anything about our defense
GentlestCrib15
So youâre on a back to back (Portland as well) and youâre having problems getting stops. So Willieâs solution is to not play Naji or DysonâŠ?
Also Dyson hasnât gotten a single minute since missing those free throws late in the Lakers gameâŠ
Heâs also letting CJ take more shots than both BI and Zion.
Iâm starting to have some serious questions about Coach Greenâs decisions
ENProcess
Willie needs to stop giving Dyson the rookie treatment, it doesn’t prove a point
crazypelsfan
Pels gotta get it together, I think trey may need a look with the starters. No way a zone should blow up the offense like that. It also didnât help that BI had a bad game.
SdotPaul504
Watching this team be misused night in n night out already sucked the fun out the season. Need to fast forward bout 20 mo games when Willie finally know what to do.
Razor-Ramon-Sessions
Another loss on Willie Green. I’m gonna start counting them up.
Establish a hierarchy. In no sane reality should CJ be taking this many shots.
Point Zion was a revelation. He draws 3 defenders. Why are we posting him up?
Dyson is likely our second best defender behind Herb. Stop playing Devontae. He sucks. He sucked last year and he still sucks.
We could have won so many games already if Willie actually coached. I love Willie but he needs to get his shit together. Last year was cute but this is embarrassing. It’s literally that easy. Do what I just wrote and we’re 8-4 at worst.
Select-Hearing-9298
No excuse to lose at home to a no-Dame Portland team. We are less than the sum of our parts.
WelbeckStoleMyHeart
I’m not gonna overreact saying CJ needs to be moved. But it’s time they establish some hierarchy. CJ is at the stage where his primary role is to facilitate Zion and BI. He only shoots if there’s a good opportunity and he needs to know that.
asvabwarrior
I was at the game and I’m not gonna lie. The defense we played was ass. But not only that. The female ref and the bald head ref had money on this game. They called so many bad calls. The NBA needs to stop giving them so much power. One of the calls by the bald ref he couldn’t even see. But called it on herb anyway.
TurboS54
This team is stupid. Cant hold the ball for last shot. Cant stay out of foul trouble. Cant give the ball to BI/Z and get the fuck out the way. I was pissed off watching today. Thats on Willie Green. Also Devonte Graham is fucking ass
IWV23
Theyâve played more games like this than not so to me this is a bad team right now. Every single game is the same and until adjustments are made, theyâll continue to be a bad team.
Sure_Ad8093
This team feels like it’s full of “nice guys”. Willie, BI and Zion all seem too nice to impose a real hierarchy. Maybe Griff will have a talk with Willie about being less of a democracy and get the alpha talent to act like alpha leaders. I thought CJ had the instincts and wisdom to share and set up guys more. I have to say I’m disappointed in his shot hunting.
Defense seems to be partially bad combos of players and bias against rookies. It feels very old school like SVG. I keep thinking about how Popavich would use rookies to their best advantage and give them responsibility.
End rant.
BIMVP
Coach is the problem. No Time out in 3rd quarter when Pel canât make a busket.
KarmaPoIice
Iâve been a CJ hater the whole way and Iâm not sure how anyone can really defend him anymore. Having your third best player take the most shots is just ridiculous. Guy is and always has been a chucker
