As a die hard pelicans fan .. this was a very accurate assessment of their season so far.. my biggest worry is their fourth quarter woes and being really bad in the clutch.. maybe you can dive into why? Is it lineups? Do teams figure them out as the game goes on? Etc etc .. thanks !
Willie f××××××g Green. Head scratching lineups. Leaving Zion out for long periods of time and playing to many guys that are streaky on offense at the same time.
An overreliance on Ingram in my opinion at least. Too many tough contested midrange shots, those are not the best shots they can create in those situations. Just give the ball to Zion at the top of the key with 3 shooters and Larry in the dunkers spot. Let him collapse the defense and create for himself or a shooter. That's their best offense.
There must be something wrong with the algorithm, this Pelicans commentary seems like it comes from someone who’s actually looked at their stats and/or watched them play a single game since 2018.
Our biggest flaws are the center position & physicality. Also, Dyson is hurt right now, but I think he was where Herb was at before Herb could shoot. Which is another lockdown defender. He needs to work on that shot
Yeah I’ve been noticing that Willie hasn’t played Jonás that much in the 2nd half of the season. Also, Larry Nance has had way more minutes recently. And yeah Dyson was great defensively, it sucks that he got hurt because it seemed like he was getting more confidence on offense.
@@kebeannn971 yea I’m not joking when I say this. I might wanna see us play Cody zeller. He at least plays defense & hustles. We don’t need you to score much. Just give us that at least. Nance does a lot of things right but he lacks the size. Dont even get me started on Jonas. I don’t think he’ll be with us next year lol
@@christopherwoodson7162 true. I think he’s lost his confidence & doesn’t feel involved on the offensive end. His biggest issue is on the defensive end though
Can't wait for the Pels to start winning in the playoffs and all of the media to start pretending they knew or cared about them all season long. Lakers used up their entire season to beat us in the tourney.
Not a big fan of videos that are essentially summaries of the same stuff every other UA-camr and media personality has posted. There was very little original thought or content in this video. The last two minutes were solid though, and if you extended that portion to include more original takes I think your content would improve drastically.

It’s Willie green running bad lineup most of the time tbh

Benching CJ against the clippers in the 4th and going with length with Trey was the key they need to close with BI Zion Larry Murphy and Herb
CJ is in a bad shooting slump but may have come out of it against the Trailblazers
Bi will show out in the playoffs
Great video. As a Pels fan, you really highlighted our strengths and weaknesses. +1 as well for having Thorfinn as a picture.
Yessir 🫡🫡
Great video.
The best IV heard in a while
Let's go Pels!!
Keep sleeping on them League! Keep sleeping deeply.
Whenever national media talk about us, they only talk trash.
The only team i can see pels having little chance of winning is the nuggets. Everyone else is fair game.
I agree
I think they can push it to six, but yeah the Nuggets the only team I can see beating them in seven.

great review, we have started to pick up some in the clutch, we don't look near as lost as we did preallstars.
Clippers can't beat this team wtf

@@shooterridgethis take >>> FR 🗣️
@@shooterridgeit's hard to use JV when you have a guy like Z who lives in the paint.
@@christopherwoodson7162 true. I think he’s lost his confidence & doesn’t feel involved on the offensive end. His biggest issue is on the defensive end though
Good video but we don’t depend on 3’s like most team. We’re near bottom 5 in 3PA per game. Inside out offense.
That's partly bc Z doesn't/can't shoot 3s
We have to thank the Lakers for humbling Zion in the mid season tournament. Now he is playing at an MVP level. Ozempic works!
If Willie Green put Jordan Hawkins and Matt Ryan in they could definitely have a better chance at scoring more
And a much better chance of the opponent scoring more
My pels are gelling at the right time will be in the top 3 spot
Herb is like kawhi but better younger cheaper and more available Herb is a goat
How far do the pelicans make it in the playoffs 🤔?
But Alvarado najaji and Larry nance and JV. WE LOADED
The Lakers in big trouble...

Sorry guy but the Pels are only taking 32 3s a game. Now they are 4th in makes with 38% a game or about 13 per game.
Flock up 🍿.....the double duch bus coming down the street....
You don’t hear about the pelicans because they’re pretenders, they will be bounced out first round of the playoffs
I bet you thought Zion wouldn’t play more than 20 games either
You haven't seen playoff zion yet
@@Muhd_Akmal theses past few seasons I haven’t seen Zion period
