I swear to god being a Pelicans fan is such a tease sometimes. I’ll watch a stretch where the ball is moving, the defense is locked in, and everything looks smooth, and then a few minutes later it feels disjointed again. But when it does come together, I’m reminded why I still believe in this group.
What keeps me invested is the upside I keep seeing. I can see how dangerous this team can be when they play with pace and stop forcing things. There are enough moments every game where it feels like the switch is right there.
I don’t know how this season ends, but I’m still tuning in because it feels like they’re close. If they can string together a solid run and stay healthy, I really think there’s something here.
On a side note, I worked on this calendar which auto adjusts to your local timezone and also auto updates, hope it helps y'all to be updated about the matches!!

I know they probably need more depth. They definitely need more health and consistency. But I swear a lot of their problems would be fixed with a better coach. Still I say… where is Mike Malone?
Remove: Poole, Zion.
Add: 3 and D. A rebounding center. Fears with a reliable shot.
DQ makes the team worth watching.
You have to admit, after watching the team last night, we are playing some of the best basketball that we’ve played all season. And really all last season as well. I love this group and what we are turning into. I think this should be a lesson to other teams what can happen when you build things the right way and not take short cuts.
They played a team last night that has already started tanking. Sarr, Johnson and George have potential, the rest leaves a lot to be desired. They didn’t play against one of the top 50 players in the NBA last night. The only all star is the corpse of Middleton.
