    HELL YEA!! Look at all our star players we've had on this team. Roy LMA Lillard Cj to name a few were all lottery players.

    This team we have now won't do shit but get u about 40 wins, MAYBE make the playoffs, fill the seats and if some good luck happens we'll make the 2nd round.

    Olshey is terrific at drafting but sucks in free agency which I don't put on him bc he's working in a small market

    I have Amazon Fire Stick too. Best thing is that you can easily take it wherever you go.

    Our defense is incompetent. Stotts need to rethink/retool his defensive strategy to fit the current personnel on this team.

    That's why he should make that bet. He could use that $200.

    I told many of ya last year under ratedly this is going to be bad thing in the near future.

    Check the last 10 years in the Western conference. 44 wins doesn’t even get you in the playoffs LET ALONE THE FREAKING 5th SEED.

    Then everybody said well if we make the playoffs it’ll show free agents we are sooooo good.. yup what did that do for us? Ohh it got us Evan Turner

    We got fooled into a fools gold season and went all in with garbage players.

    I said this last season and I'll say it again, its time to bring in a defensive minded assistant coach. Obviously our defense is not cutting the mustard.

    We'll begin winning games again once the D shows up and helps them get a few easy buckets here and there.

    Disagree.

    I would be right with you flying the go team go Blazer flag if it weren't for the fact that this team is getting BLOWN OUT not in the fourth quarter but in the SECOND QUARTER on a consistent basis now. The game is over before halftime and I don't see that changing anytime soon until they start playing LOCKDOWN DEFENSE and giving EFFORT.

    The Pelicans normally shoot 43%....they shot 55%. For the 2nd game in a row, an opponent got a season high in points. This isn't just bad, they just aren't competing. It's sad that as much $$$ as Paul Allen spent this off-season, this is the effort he is getting.

    We brought in Turner and Ezeli to improve our defense. Turner is adjusting to our team and Ezeli is hurt. As our best defensive player Aminu is hurt.

    Our Dame/CJ/Harkless/Aminu/Plumlee line up is a +15 per 100 possessions this year. We had nice leads vs Clippers and Warriors with that lineup but then our bench would ruin it. Turner is coming around. Once we get Aminu back, we'll be good. You can't bitch about Olshey when the team he built isn't on the floor.
