What do you think is going on with the Pelicans injuries?
Year after year…..the Pels AND the Saints.
Do I think they are faking injuries and/or weak…no. Injury prone and unreliable…yes.
The last 9 loses in a row showed us why Zion is by far the best Player on this Team 🤷
I think we should get new medical staff
Like you said to my comment in your last video…yeah there is not much to be be done about the injuries right now. Just have to hope the guys get healthy. The Pels rely on them so much. And the wolves are at the door as far as other teams playing well and the Pels need to be able to keep up. I still have confidence in the team being great….if they are whole.

Hi!
Thank you for doing what you do
@Locked On Pelicans; Giannis, Jokic, Lebron, Lillard, Harden, Derozen, Young, Butler, Tatum etc. Super stars that are rarely injured. Shai, Edwards, McCollum, Garland, Lavine, Murray etc … stars that are rarely injured.
Being repeatedly injured regardless of injury location is still being prone to injury. Sporadic injury every now and them is being non injury prone.
Comment
Great perspective Jake, kudos! Don’t tell this to Shamit though.
Let’s get a W against Dallas!
Yes. I think he is soft and lying about his injury still. Don't worry Jake, I do not mind saying it. McRoger Paul knows how I feel about BI-the-Cotton! 🤣😂🤣. Even with both of them on the court, they don't fit, especially with CJ. I said this Zion rookie year. BI, reminds me of RJ Barret. RJ at Duke was suppose to be Mr. College and he was trying his best to outshine Zion. BI, need to accept he's number 2!
NBA tickets should be cheaper
That is why the Bull's got rid of D-Rose and what is he today? He was a Superstar and the fear of getting injury again, played on D-Rose mind and he lost confidence in his game. D-Rose was Ja before Ja!
A lot of people jumping on the trade BI train.. so overreactive and unappreciative for what he’s done in his short time in NOLA already
The whole dam city is injury prone and I didn't need any scientific data…just memory…let me explain….Chris Paul, Anthony Davis, Demarcus Cousins, Jrue Holiday, Drew Brees, Michael Thomas, Murder Capitol, Alleged Bounty Gate, Eric Gordon, Marshon Lattimore, Dyson Daniels, Herb Jones, Zion Williamson, Car Jackings, Brandon Ingram, Mark Ingram, a Terrible School System, Marcus Davenport, Armstead, Winston, Landry, Deante Harris, Kamara, Delvin Breaux, EJ Liddell, Olave, Lonzo Ball, The NO CALL…hell even Sean Payton took a tackle on the sideline and ended up on crutches. ALL BIG NAMES!!!! We need a Voodoo witch 🧙♀️ to reverse the curse!!!! Simple as that.
Not to mention, Sean Payton quit on us, they let CGJ, Vonn Bell, a young Malcom Jenkins and Trey Hendrickson all walk. Those guys stay healthy and actually help their teams get to championship games. What are the odds, of all of that? 😐 New Orleans fans should get free counseling, just for dealing with this bs. Talking bout a resilient bunch..We strong huh? 💪⚜ Geaux Pels!
I don't think having Zion excessively driving to the rim through three or four defenders has helped him stay healthy. It's the same thing SVG did, and he was out the whole season after that. Excessive muscle stress breeds injuries.
Brandon Ingram is just soft
Hey Jake, why does it seem so hard sometimes for the Pels to expose defensive matchups like other teams do us? I liked BI’s aggressiveness but I didn’t like how so many of his shots were guarded by Aaron Gordon. I truly believe that if he had a better matchup on him he would’ve had a better game.
