[quote]I much preferred Mid-Beach and North-Beach to South Beach. South Beach was pretty trashy [/quote] I think this is good advice. We did one trip and stayed in a classic art deco south beach hotel. It was nice, but small and noisy. Restaurants I like in no order: 1. Stubborn seed - ...
Would like a little more pass rush and a safety, but overall that seems like a good defense. The LBers and CBs genuinely seem like great units. The offense is depressing. Olave, Miller and Penning need to become difference makers for that offense to do anything....
I don’t remember the details, but Julius Randle was in the door as well and left that off season for NY. We may not have had any rights, but nonetheless Julius Randle walked out the door and Derrick Favors walked in. Bad swap....
[quote]BI for Ivey and Duren, send them 21 also[/quote] I would trade BI for Duren, take back Fournier for filler, and give them our first this year and not look back. But then again I think the real trade market for BI with his next contract looming is somewhere just south of Eric Gordon and ...
[quote]he feels this protest isn’t about Israel or Palestine, he feels it’s an anti-American demonstration.[/quote] A man far wiser than his years. These kids have been raised on a steady diet of education that largely concludes America and the creations of western civilization are not just not ...
[quote]"we were looking great and then got hit with injuries right at the start of the playoffs. We've increased our wins each of the last three years. So we're gonna run it back."[/quote] I think this is the most likely scenario. I do think BI’s camp will put out some demands/smoke about a trade...
[quote]It's amazing the pass some of y'all give Zion[/quote] I haven’t given him any pass. His inability to dedicate himself to conditioning is the biggest reason we have been among the worst western conference teams over the last five years. But Griff has misfired tremendously. He took the b...

The Griff Era: Fan Experience

Posted by ned nederlander on 4/29/24 at 11:49 am
Year 5 of the Rebuild/Griff era is ending for the pelicans. Between Ballys and the on-court results, the pelicans have arguably delivered the worst fan experience out of all western conference teams since the 2019-2020 season. Since Griff took over: 3/15 teams - Warriors, Denver and Lakers ...

If you squint hard enough, you can kind of make out a solid roster but the saints need to draw an inside straight of luck and development to realize it. CB and LB seem like the best position groups at the moment and hopefully will be a real strength of the team. That OL still looks like a comp...
7. Chris Paul putting up a triple double against the lakers to tie up a hopeless series at 2-2 in 2011. This game film should be sent to the national archives and labeled how to play point guard. Paul went 27, 15, 13 and looked liked a midget against a giant laker team with Gasol, Bynum, Odom, Art...
Ok hear me out. What if we give them $500,000,000 of public money for a new arena. You can’t expect the team to compete or televise their games without a new arena....

[quote]Everyone shitting on BI forgot times he carried us on his back.[/quote] But at this point we’ve seen how far he can carry you, and it’s the play-in tournament. He just isn’t good enough to dominate our salary cap until near 2030...

[quote]Jalen Duren[/quote] Is the player I’d love to add in a BI trade. I’m still upset we passed on him to draft a guard that can’t shoot. And if we trade either of the 26/27 bucks picks I will riot. Those picks plus Zion, Herb and Trey are the future....
[quote]Dog is having a great time running all over the place. [/quote] Here’s the real unchecked privilege. This doodle whatever acting a fool. If that was a pit or a rottie running around yapping his gums at those cops he’d be carried out in a doggie bag....

re: OT Josiah Ezirim in round 7

Posted by ned nederlander on 4/27/24 at 5:43 pm
Good spot to take an extremely raw, inexperienced, small school OL with some crazy athleticism. This is where Penning should have been drafted. ...
[quote]there were a few of us, as soon as Zion went down, that knew this was the case, and that we'd be better off not making the playoffs... yet, they wanted that "we made the playoffs" shirt SO BAD... hope all this "playoff experience" (of getting their asses beat) for Trey and Herb and Jose was...
I’ll give the saints credit here they got the order of their picks correct. They really did need to go OL first to secure a top OL talent, and were able to get a borderline first round talent CB with their second....
I like the saints trade and pick. Gives flexibility on what to do with Lattimore, and I think you can play a lot with Lattimore, Adebo, Kool-Aid, Taylor and Howden on the field together and potentially field an elite secondary next year. If they can somehow rush the passer the defense might be a ...
For our sake, I think we hope they run it back again and one of Lebron/AD picks up a major injury. The west is going to be loaded next year and any major injury to Lebron or AD puts that last laker pick into the top 10 of next years draft....
