    ESPN + Faux Sports + USA Today + Bleacher Report = companies and networks that hate small market teams. I want to see an episode with you and Ross Jackson on which coach, Willie Green or Dennis Allen, has the most pressure in New Orleans sports this season.

    We're cool with the NBA sleeping on us getting better. Next season, when they start talking about us, they'll realize we're a top 3 seed in the West.

    I can appreciate the positivity and enthusiasm, Jake, but Griffin’s inability to get a true starting center means they shouldn’t take us seriously; our team is AWFUL at rebounding and now we have an old 6’8” unathletic starting center. That’s not a recipe for success. Furthermore, Griffin should have broken up BI and Zion when BI’s stock was much higher last year. He’s made us a laughing stock with his complete ineptitude with the picks from the AD and Jrue trades. People shouldn’t take us seriously because Griffin has shat the bed over and over and over.

    Well, I think at this point no one knows for sure what the team is going to be. As things stand with no starting center, minus some really good role players and Ingram in limbo the Pels don't seem better than they were last year. If Ingram stays and they get a serviceable center the Pels prospects greatly improve,,… Otherwise, I don't think Zion and Murray as the "Big Two" isn't scaring anyone

    They're slept on and its rightfully so.. The position where they were already weak and needed the most help they somehow managed to get weaker in the center position

  9. @irvchilichill1

    Idu, we have arguably the best bench in the league– in fact, it is the best. Starting lineup has a true PG to facilitate within the offense and avoid the clunkiness.

    The Center position is an experiment that has time to show whether it is sufficient or re-initialize trade talks using B.I. as bait and shore up that position.

    Most importantly, internal growth is still a real likelihood and continuity is an underrated trait of a team that has championship aspirations.

    Pels are in a good place and on paper this iteration of the team is a TOP 10 team as currently constructed with room and opportunity to rise with a smart trade or two. Go Pels.

    To me Dejonte is a worst version of Jrue Holiday but on a better timeline with Zion….Dejonte and Zion isnt gonna get you a championship
