Pelicans pick watch

CJ has two things in New Orleans that Dame has never had in Portland: an all-star wing; and an offensively gifted C

 

this team is just so terrible to support man. lebron and westbrook both don't get back on d until half the shot clock is over and their teams are 4 on 5 cuz they're such divas.

 

you still can't give him credit. that's sad.

 

if LA loses this, they're effectively done.

 

great season for the Lakers. They are a lottery team without a lottery pick

does the GM who traded for Westbrook still have a job?

 

methinks we need a new thread for the 2025 Bucks pick watch.

Lakers are a fucking joke. Vogel should look into a new set of luggage and uhaul rennells.

 

they're done. Herb and Larry with terrific D.

 

WTF are you talking about?

I was commenting on the Pels roster construction vs the roster construction of Olshey's Blazers

 

the Clips are gonna beat Minny for #7.

Pels are gonna beat the Spurs.

So it will come down to Pels v Minny for #8.

I have no confidence in the TWolves here.

Fuck you, Cronin.

 

CJ is the reason they are poised and winning these big games. He has been exactly INGRAM needed, not the other way around.

 

so?

what does that have to do with what I said? Was what I said wrong?

 

The Pelicans will have to go through the Spurs who aren't terrible and if they get through that game it's the Clippers or the Wolves. I wouldn't bet on NOLA beating either of those two teams in a winner takes all game. I've been saying it that I hate that Cronnin has put us in this situation but I still think the odds are in our favor to end up with two lotto picks.

 

Just read like a backhanded compliment from someone who has hated on the guy ad nauseam

 

I'd suggest you might wait till I actually criticize him for something before just assuming I did and then attacking me for it.

All I said was that CJ had a level of talent at wing and C that Dame hasn't had. The Pels have good positional balance. Portland has never had anything like that in the Dame/CJ era. I wish they would have.

 

fair enough. i wasnt really attacking you, fwiw.

 

np

 

Let's see how the Pelicans do in LA against the Clippers on Sunday. Most likely the Pelicans would have to beat the Clippers in a game two to get to the playoffs.
If the Pelicans face the Spurs in the first play-in game, that won't be easy. The Spurs just beat the Pelicans in New Orleans last Saturday.

 

Bucks might suck big time then, curious what the protection is? If it doesn’t covey at all that’s a big loss imo.

 

Weren't you criticizing NOP's roster construction after the trade as basically duplicating the flaws of Portland's, or am I remembering someone else?

I find it amusing how you give CJ's new teammates credit, without actually praising him as part of the success, as a way of lessening Dame's shortcomings, then pretend to be shocked that it's seen as your usual CJ bashing. I can already picture what your response will be.

 

Y'all just warming my heart!
