Did anyone see the yesterdays Bleacher report ” Fresh NBA Playoff Predictions and Championship Odds”?
[https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10065904-fresh-nba-playoff-predictions-and-championship-odds](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10065904-fresh-nba-playoff-predictions-and-championship-odds)
Then Look for the Pelicans, in the Article.
So they originally predict the Pelicans as being the # 10 seed, play in tournament, but that is not the disrespect that I am referring to in the article, as it gets worse.
As this writer, who appears to have a chubby for the Lakers, immediately forgets that he had the Pelicans in the play in tournament, by instead listing the OKC Thunder as the #10 seed when predicting how the teams will fare in the play in tournament and then in the playoffs.
So as Pelicans fans, how does this make you feel?
Would you hope that oversights of the Pelicans by national publications like this, could help to motivate the players on a Pelicans team that has experienced a downward spiral since Zion went down?

Who cares about Grant Hughes’ opinion of the Pels
With the schedule that we have, if we drop out of the play-in, then somebody on the coaching that has to explain something
Maybe if a big publication or super notable writer/analyst wrote this I’d feel something. But the opinion of some dude means nothing
This is the way I look at it. We have the 2nd easiest schedule in the west remaining. We’re getting Larry and Dyson back and I’m assuming we’re getting Zion back by mid March.
Nothing new they been disrespecting us for over a decade! all these pundits do is ride dick, they were loving us in the beginning of the year I love proving them wrong
Has anyone watched us the past 2 months? There’s a reason we’re being disrespected nationally.
The Pels are a team that is one game over 500 and has 2 stars that cannot seem to stay on the court and rarely play together. What did you expect?
I’ve worked for SB Nation and Bleacher Report.
The key here is that it’s BR and not an actual reputable writer.
You’ll find better analysis in r/NBA OPs than on fuckin bleacher report
He also said the Lakers would take the Nuggets to 7 games in round 1 so clearly whoever wrote that is in Lala land
OP coming from another sub it seems. If we cant stay healthy the article might be right.
This is outrageous!
Just understand Grant Hughes has been on the list for a long time, we dont really care about his opinion on anything
Who the fuck cares? We need to stop giving a shit what the media and other fans think of us
They hate us cause they Ain’t us
It makes me feel like a sloppy writer needs a better editor
I don’t even care if our own fans talk bad about us man this shit 4 life won’t bow down baby.
Without a superstar, and especially a losing streak, why would anybody care about the pelicans? My pels are done for the season.
Have you been around for the last 3 years? After all the Zion hit pieces, we’re used to it
First and foremost fuck the national media and everyone they work with. What they say doesn’t matter much. Don’t put too much effort in caring about what they say, they don’t even watch the team more than once a month
Second, losing 10 straight when you have as many good pieces as us, and our stars missing time like they’re paid to do it will make your grace evaporate faster than crawfish at a seafood boil
If I had no stake in pelicans (fandom) like these national fuckers I wouldn’t put any trust in this team my damn self. They haven’t earned it and with that 10 game L Streak and Zion and BIs injury they’ve managed to LOSE grace they didn’t have in the first place
Respect is earned, not given
We haven’t done anything to earn any respect yet
Go look at the Zion thread on r/nba right now. Dudes out with a hamstring injury and they’re talking about him like he died. It’s insane
Yeah who cares, 4 out of 5 talking heads said the Warriors he no chance last year, Ringer even had them at 0.1% odds and look what happened.
Have you watched this team over the last 2 months? They are fighting for their lives to make the play in.
Media not reason pels suck tho. They did it themselves Jonas is near unplayable instead stepping up 3rd vest player
