re: Hollinger's Pelicans Preview
Posted by LSUSaintsHornets on 10/10/22 at 3:08 pm
I think his evaluation of Trey as a summer league HOF is obnoxious when he had real moments in big games last year. Not even taking into account any buzz from this offseason it seems dismissive. The entire "Does x player fit with Zion?" narrative is also exhausting. Are we to assume Zion fit better ...
re: Mike Greenberg thinks Pels are a top 4 seed if Zion plays 60+ games
Posted by LSUSaintsHornets on 8/31/22 at 11:28 am
I don't see us being better than GS or Denver without major injuries to Steph or Jokic. It's the same with the Clippers but Kahwi has an extensive injury history. The suns are shaky enough where if you promise me 75 games of Zion it becomes a possibility. Grizz Mavs and Twolves I feel are in the sam...
re: Ringer video on Zion
Posted by LSUSaintsHornets on 8/5/22 at 6:15 pm
I get that the video is mostly positive but the 4 guys one basketball argument is so dumb. There will be a lot of staggering of minutes to keep 1-2 on the floor at all times and there is a clear guy in line for a reduced offensive load in Jonas. Jonas is great but you aren't taking shots away from Z...

[quote]Literally Screaming Stephen was the only one yesterday to try and spin it that way, and even he was just focused on the Knicks and as he said himself, with zero evidence and Zion or his people never saying once to him it's true, that he only has eyes for his Knicks.

"He's Only 21"
Posted by LSUSaintsHornets on 2/23/22 at 12:24 pm
Unsurprisingly most national media pundits want to lay all of this at the feet of the Pelicans organization and the city while excuse making for Zion. At the outset I will say I don't have an issue necessarily with the age argument. Things like missing rehab sessions, falling asleep in film study, a...
re: If given the opportunity would you trade Zion and a 1st for LaMelo Ball?
Posted by LSUSaintsHornets on 2/23/22 at 10:24 am
Yes, because even if Zion is a better asset in our minds I don't think there is a better option out there in return. You rarely ever are able to win these kind of trades. Don't know about attaching the 1st tho....

[quote]The information void that he is choosing to create is what is allowing all of this negativity to grow like weeds. To me the biggest problem is people are conflating "Not here because of injury" with "Doesn't want to be here." He was here and his rehab clearly wasn't going well because he se...

Posted by LSUSaintsHornets on 2/23/22 at 10:10 am
I think my honest expectation was he’d give us our 6 years and short of winning a title would move on. That’s the reality of being a Pelicans fan. CP3 and AD gave us that and I couldn’t begrudge them wanting to leave (AD poisoning the well excluded). For Zion to not even give the minimum effort AD g...

[quote]But that's the problem... we shouldn't be slightly below .500 with a healthy Zion in his third season.[/quote]
We don't even have any games with Zion in his 3rd season. We could still suck or maybe the pieces fit when he's there. I don't think that given the western conference our with Zion ...
re: Elle Duncan on ESPN goes absolutely off on Griff
Posted by LSUSaintsHornets on 11/11/21 at 4:29 pm
You can have endless justified criticisms of Griff but I have no idea how she found mismanaging Zion's injuries. Glad local media stopped carrying water for him on his health but I doubt anyone in the national media will. Fact is with Zion playing we are slightly below 500 and due in part because of...

Crewz when he was doing it would ramble for an hour, 30 minutes of which had nothing to do with the Pelicans.[/quote]

I mean we are in a brand new era of unprecedented player movement and empowerment, so I'm not as sure as you are that the historical precedent is as relevant. I think him getting the rose rule makes it a 80-20 proposition but I al...
