Do you think the Pelicans depth can get the team victories?
Point z is nice but we need someone to get easier shots
Thanks Jake. One day…….. yes, one day we'll see a fully healthy Pelicans squad on the court together.
relax, it's not a season ending injury. we are healthy in the playoffs i swear. forget about the seeding as long we are atleast top 4 we'll be fine
Hamstrings take a long time to heal.
Zion Hunting!!

Thanks for another video Jose Calderon. I wish you can play PG for us so CJ can move to a 6th man role off the bench. We need someone to run point and cut down those costly turnovers…
Unpopular opinion: Kira is better than jose on offense and should probably use him while hes still here while jose is in this offensive slump
LOL THESE GUYS GET PAID SEE N.F.L TRYING TO CUT PRESEASON GAMES AND RESULTS MORE INJURIES IN SEASON
It’s all speculation right now, but he pulled his hamstring taking the ball up the court, not making a violent move. I can’t see this being more than a grade 1, which is probably 2-3 weeks tops. Pray it’s not worse.
If Zion had stayed healthy, we'd of had this one.
That Pelicans injury curse continues!! One out one in! Bloody hell! When we get rolling with a full healthy team, look out! 🏀🇬🇧
Settle down didn't look that serious looked like a cramp
That hamstring isn’t a joke….sit him down….hold serve for a month without him….we seen Booker suffer with this last year……sit him 4 weeks….then put him on 20 minutes a game for a week….THE PLAYOFFS IS WHATS MORE IMPORTANT
I have to say I am surprised at the like string of random injuries for these young guys. I would expect this stuff from like a team of veterans in the ladder part of thier career… at least it’s not like these have been reoccurring nagging injuries to the same areas …
No Zion this team is a g-league team at best..
minimum 4 to 8 weeks if it is a hamstring injury grade 1 or 2, grade 3? you are looking at 3 months!!
Trey needs to stop playing scared and realize he’s big can jump high and shoot better then almost everyone on the Court
They were over using Z
I think the Pels' role players pass up way too many open mid range shots to attempt 3 pointers when they are missing a lot of 3 point shots. If they get the penetration and have a 2 pointer they need to take the shot and the other converge to the basket to get ready to rebound if they need to! That would take pressure off of Zion to give him better looks and help create better 3 point looks and shots as a result.
yep, I agree, we still coulda won this game. Lets hope the bench continues to perform when they get in there. Somebody gotta have a hot hand each game.
I’m glad I didn’t buy those tickets for the Nets game. Get well Z🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Hi Jake
CHRISTIAN JAMES MCCOLLUM is getting old and it shows.. he is starting to have the Chris Paul old man syndrome where you get one or just maybe 2 good games and follow by a string of missing in action games. this is very typical… id feel much better if he can come off the bench and have Dyson or Jose take over the starting role. i get nervous every time he touches the ball.
This team made it to the playoff’s without him.
Thabks jake for keeping me upto date with all the team news while laying around the pool in West Africa. Great show. Been listening for 4-5 years.
The Pelicans have a BIG problem. Take a look at the last few losses and it's obvious: Utah (Kessler/Markannen), Memphis (Adams/Jaren Jackson), and last night, Philadelphia and Joel Embid. How will the Pelicans address this?
I don't see a solution on this roster.
I still think Zion needs to lean out just a bit. He was bullying people his rookie season at 275 so I think he can still drop a bit to avoid injuries and get a little bit of that duke speed and agility
Thanks
