SEEMS LIKE A GUY THE PELICANS COULD USE
Isn’t it time we let the Jazz name go? Not sure about everyone else, but the Pelicans have grown on me. The music, Mardi Gras, local cuisine etc has and always will be New Orleans. The whole world knows this.
Pelicans is a growing identity and it screams New Orleans basketball.
Some of you mofer’s are okay with just being mediocre. This is what separates franchises like the 49ers and Eagles apart from the Saints. They’re trying to win championships and you mofer’s are happy with an NFC South Champion banner. Your kids must be such disappointments.
Being Black on a roadtrip is one of the eeriest things ever. We can see 400 years of trauma in one road trip. Like… the cotton fields are still here. Acres of cotton. And you just know. You pass certain trees and just feel sick. You cross certain town lines and just get scared.
Zion as a help defender has been a revelation. He can REALLY blow up plays with his athleticism. He's shown good instincts and anticipation there of late as well.
"The more we're seeing it, the more we like it. It's hard for teams to match up with that shooting and spacing, especially when you put the ball in Z's hands or BI's hand."
-- Willie Green on the Trey/Hawkins lineups
Brandon Ingram is held up as a franchise player in New Orleans, and for good reason.
He keeps getting better. His teammates like him. He's loyal to the organization.
There's only one problem: He misses games. So, so many games.
Brandon Ingram feels connected with New Orleans and its people. He wants to stay in the Big Easy. And he wants to win.
"I know when you win, that takes care of everything else."

I like Whitlock always have whether I disagree or not.
Folks get super emotional on race topics for whatever reason.
Can't learn shit in an echo chamber.
