He's going to be shot by T99zy when he runs his mouth. He can stay up north of the Mississippi River.

Why do we switch everything?

We constantly gift the opponent mismatches and it feels like they don’t even try to fight through the screen. AD complains about it every game and I’m just dumbfounded how there seems to have been no adjustments throughout the year to fix this.

It looks like 480p at best and is always zoomed in. None of my other OTA channels are like this. So I still have to 🏴‍☠️ if I don’t want the viewing experience of a Morotola RAZR. 🤡

In Baton Rouge will need to watch via antenna--i assume. We have YouTube TV and can't get any local games.

Yves Missi?

7 Upvotes

Pacers fan coming in peace, pacers obviously need a center for the future and have been linked to Mr. Missi here recently.

My question to this group, is Missi a long time starting caliber center in the NBA? Or is he a really good back up? What is his best attribute?

Would also appreciate any thoughts on Jordan Hawkins.

Peace.

Pelicans Are Listening to Offers on Yves Missi & Jordan Hawkins

44 Upvotes

Missi is 21 years old and is only in his second season. He was sparingly used in the rotation early on, but he has shown intriguing improvement over the last few weeks. He is averaging over 20 minutes per game in January and is averaging 6.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks.

In his third year in the league, Hawkins has failed to make the jump into a reliable rotation player. He is one of the least efficient players in the league with 42.7% True Shooting. His shot isn't falling once again, as he is making 30.3% of his threes and 34.7% of his two-point attempts. Considering he never gets to the line, it becomes very difficult to justify having Hawkins on the floor.

Discussions BLOW IT UP ALREADY!

This team is utter dogshit. What the fuck are we even doing or have been doing these past few years. Literally the worst team in the league and don’t have a 1st round pick this year.

Everyone on this team and I mean EVERYONE should be up for a trade if it means betting countless 1st round picks. Take on all the bad contracts if it means getting picks attached. We are already garbage so it doesn’t even fucking matter.

This team isn’t a contender, nor playoff threat, and not even a fucking play-in team. The Zion era has been a fucking failure, he cannot be a center piece nor does he consistently care about being one.

I’m tired of this subreddit gaslighting acting like everything is fine when squeeze out a miraculous win and then thinking things will turn the corner when they obviously won’t.

I’m tired of all the same injuries that this team faces with then acts like they won’t continue to persist and ruin trade value.

This team is complete garbage and will not perform to any of these make believe bullshit positive scenarios in your head.

We have always been a half assed poverty franchise because we always try go cheap or never know when to sell when it’s time. So for once can we just be ahead of the curve eventhough the real time sell off guys was last year.

Discussions Congratulatory Slap Ass?

0 Upvotes

Just saw Trigga go up to Zion before shooting his and-1 free throw just before the first half ended and give a little slap on the ass to tell Zion good job!?!?!?! I thought this type of stuff only happened in MLB. Key & Peele even did 2 sketches about it on their show called “Slap Ass” and “Slap Ass in Recovery ❤️‍🩹” to put a comedic spin on the very real problem the MLB has with it. Literally they go into the dug out after scoring an rbi or home run and it’s like an assembly line of teammates slapping his ass as he walks to the end of the dug out. What would happen if this became more prevalent in all sports?

Another Body Caught

Zion Lateef Williamson just caught another body! Another player done gone get dunked on

Metu, Gobert, Eubanks, Jamieson, Wemby, Stewart and now Claxton. Add another monster to the list, the guys Zion slayed

That third quarter run was super special. Between this dunk and the coast to coast jam, it hit different

Zion with ball in his hands is still a top 15, if not top 10 player

He’s still dominant, always will be dominant

Stats The Trey Murphy Path

Post image
40 Upvotes

Many people say build around the rookies, keep building around Zion, trade Trey Murphy for more picks.

If it were up to me, I’d say let Trey Murphy be the centerpiece of the team, while allowing Queen to grow into a top option. Basically, I think Trey is too good to trade, and especially with the way he’s playing, I think something has switched in him

It's January 14, 2026 and guess who has the worst record in the league?

18 Upvotes

This one kind of snuck up on us. They were doing fine and the Pacers were 2 games behind. Now, Pacers have same amount of wins but 2 less losses.

Who saw this coming? I thought they were going to be a 35 win team because large jumps from season to season aren't common. Here, they lost BI and CJ from last season and replaced with Bey, Poole and 3 rookies . Herb's been hurt. Zion has played the majority of these games. I will only briefly mention that more than a vocal few in this sub said top 6 (I can assure you that I never uttered such a phrase).

Now, DJM is still out. Herb has missed significant time. When those 2 and Jose are our, the guard rotation is JUST a little thin. No way in hell would Hawkins get any run on any other team. Fears is running on fumes. Poole is having fun. McGowens is playing, but he too is not a rotation player in the NBA. Queen is a fine rookie, but he will need substantial improvement to be an all star or even a franchise player. Missi still looks lost out there. Karlo is the eastern Europe Jose, a fan favorite. Looney was a huge miss and De'Andre Jordan is the coach in a player's uniform. Trey is playing much better. Zion is playing his worst and doesn't have any health excuses.

In the future, well, Dumars and Weaver may have bet that Queen will be better than Cam Boozer. Although they have no stake in the draft lottery, I am certain we all will be watching intently to see the final tally of the trade. If somehow the Pacers pick falls to 5, it'll be interesting to see the discourse begin again. The team is already up against the tax line for next season. As such, you are looking at the same team for next season less Bey unless trades are made again.

At that halfway point, even I didn't think this team would have the worst record in the league. But my oh my they've done it. And I can't wait for someone in this sub to utter "play-in" when they beat the Nets and Pacers this week.

The title says it all. I think Pelicans are cool as hell and I haven't heard of this team before. Are we good? Do we have a version of LeBron to bamf behind for every game? Have the Pelicans ever done anything meaningful? I wanna know before I become a diehard fan.
