Exclusive Around the NBA: Forgettable February edition

So CJ is ballin but Pels can’t get a Win

 

Pels fan on CJ

He should be going off cause he seems to think he doesnt have any teammates. Bro wont pass the ball to save his life!!!!

 

Ingram was off tonight and CJ was cooking, I could see you ripping on the dude if he was inefficient but that just wasn't the case and they were playing a team that is flat out much better than they are.

Also did you watch the game? I didn't so I can't be sure but Ingram was 6-21 and I'd assume some of those had to be blown assists for CJ. CJ ended up with 5 assists when his best guy to get assists with wasn't making anything.

 

It’s the same story with CJ. He still doesn’t defend. Pelicans are a bottom 5 defense since the trade. They were hovering in the middle in January.

 

That's fair CJ is a terrible defender and I don't think that is going to change. He needs really strong defensive guys around him or he's cooked. That doesn't seem to be what the Pelicans have around him but at the same time I really don't give a shit if the Pelicans suck... in fact as long as they don't end up with a top 4 pick, I want them to keep on sucking.

 

Pels defensive drop isn't just due to the addition of CJ. The other side of that coin is that the Pels went from Hart on defense to CJ. That's a massive defensive downgrade

 

Isn't it still February? There's like 10 new threads that all could be talked about right here?

 

You should make a thread for that.

 

Cooking MeJ, or bricking MeJ, historically, he hasn't helped win at anywhere near a contender level and doesn't make teammates better. It's not taking Pels fan long to figure that out. It's just unfortunate we had to deal with it for so many years here. Very talented scorer, but that's about it.

 

Let it go. No one likes a bitter Ex.

 

Uh....ex? It's what Pelicans fan is complaining about right now.

 

You're the one dwelling on it. NOP fans are at worst split on the matter, from what I've read. You're reveling in anything negative you can find.

 

Interesting since I keep saying what a great scorer CJ is. '...reveling in anhthing negative I can find'? Disappointing that you are that wrong, but you're welcome to continue tilting at that windmill if you would like. Enjoy.

 

Is Embiid playing at contender level? CJ has won 2nd round playoff series.

 

After watching the Skills Contest, all I gotta say is, for the next 10-12 years, Cleveland is going to be a problem. Mobley is scary good and it's only his rookie year. Garland is ridiculous. Then you have Allen, Sexton, etc.

 

I didn't notice that. The 76ers are the Chris Paul Clippers of the Eastern Conference. I thought they had made it to the conference finals but they haven't.

 

Appropriate comparison given who's the HC.

 

I didn't notice that either!

 

UM coach Howard & Wisconsin coach brawl.
If a coached is pissed its best he walks off the court rather than get in another coaches face, after game.
