Brandon Ingram: From Team USA up to this season, is probably the worst I have been in a New Orleans Pelicans uniform. I am motivated by that… I gotta look myself in the mirror… How do I get the fans of New Orleans to believe in us again? That’s my job, that’s my task

Get ready to learn Detroitese, buddy
Damn, he really took ownership here.
At least he didn’t say we this time.
Tbh I don’t know what you do at this point
He’d have to be a very different player and commit to being great off ball and spotting up from 3. He’s shown nothing so far that makes me think he wants to do that though, which is fair, he’s very good with the ball in his hands and attacking, but that’s not the complementary piece we need.
And just like that he swayed y’all again smh
Dont do that cringe stare at the camera stunt ever again
Id love to believe him but regardless of injuries he hasnt really shown any sign of improvement since his All Star year.
Playmaking slightly better but nothing impactful, his handle is still not good enough to be the main guy and hes still hesitant to shoot from range.
Too little, too late. And the worst part is, now we won’t even get much value for him. The BI/Zion era was a complete and utter flop.
Ugh, yall wanna trade him, but how can you not love this guy? He’s an incredible leader and was obviously gutting out these games when he wasn’t really ready to come back. This is the same guy who averaged 27/6/6 against the number one seed when healthy. You don’t trade a guy like that unless you’re getting a top-ten type back.
His job and task was to step up on the court this series without Zion… and he failed miserably. This whole organization is MVP of the saying the right “self-aware” things in the post game pressers… AFTER the national TV embarrassments. Can’t talk the talk if you always shit yourself trying to walk the walk.
Man idc, we need to keep Ingram. People around here talk outta both sides of the mouth. They’ll agree it woulda been a different series vs OKC with a healthy Zion but then say Zion and Ingram don’t work. Make it make sense dawg. No NBA team wins playoff series’ without their best player. Jokic even got dominated in an MVP season because he didn’t have his 2nd best player. You need all hands on deck when playoffs come and ESPECIALLY you need your #1 guy. Replace Val with an actual Big that fits the modern NBA and either trade CJ or move him into a 6th man role. Ingram got real love for the city and it’s refreshing to hear a player who truly wants to be here and win for us. All the years this man showed up to fight for us in Zion’s absence and we can’t return the favor when he’s down? It’s a terrible look tbh
I listened to the whole press con and I empathize w BI even more. He’s obviously a good dude who cares.
