    First off … the pels have defeated the most teams over .500 than any team other than the Celtics , secondly, zions points are down bc he is slowly bringing himself bacc into play while trying to stay healthy, has nothing to do with zions ability, if you look at him now vs how is was at the beginning of the season , you can see his conditioning is starting to pay off , he looks slimmer and faster .

    Bontemps clearly doesn't watch the Pelicans. Just say that, Sir, instead of sounding like a dunce. You may be right about other teams wanting to play us, but it's because they're like you. They don't watch us. We're just gonna have to prove it. Zion is finally in-shape now, you can tell by his recent hustle. Thank you, Brian for correcting Bontemps for his outrageous statement regarding the progress after the in-season tournament.

      Exactly, they "have to prove it." Deep, talented roster, a very good team, but not a top seed and zero playoff accomplishments. It's probably a legitimate concern that one or more of the big three will get banged up in a physical 7 game series. I wouldn't pick them to but I'll be rooting for them to beat the Clippers.

THE PELICANS CAN GET TO THE NBA FINALS AND WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP THIS YEAR AND BEYOND. THEY ARE THAT GOOD AND NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THEM AND THAT'S A GOOD THING. ONCE THEY GO THROUGH THE PLAYOFFS AND KNOCK OFF A FEW TEAMS THE WHOLE WORLD WILL SEE IT. PELICANS FANS ALREADY KNOW, TIME FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO KNOW! THEY GOT SUPERSTARS, A DEEP BENCH CAN PLAY DEFENSE AND SCORE THE BASKET!!! THEY'RE SHOOTING 40% FROM THE 3 POINT LINE AS A TEAM. TRAY MURPHY & HAWKINS, MARKSMANSHIP FROM THE 3 IS INCREDIBLE! PELICANS HAVE THE BEST 3-N-D WING PLAYERS IN THE NBA. HERB JONES IS ALL PRO DEFENSIVELY. THEY GOT IT ALL!!!

    I remember Tim Donaghy doing the podcast circuit after the doc. He talked about a famous game where he and the other refs repeatedly called Iverson for carrying the ball, apparently because "AI threatened another ref, and that didn't sit right with us." I also didn't find him credible. My belief is still that he and his mob cronies had money on that game, too. I wouldn't trust that guy to tell me the sun was going to rise in the East tomorrow, and nobody else should either.

    And let alone if any of them do this and get caught, the fact that it's possible will damage the integrity of the refs and the game. "Appearance of impropriety" is already a problem.

    It is easy to see the refs have personal beefs with certain players. It is not a fan thing. I have see it on teams and players that I am not interested in. When certain refs appear trying to make a point with certain players it turns me off. I can understand quick technical fouls but some of the basic foul/nonfoul bad calls appear to be intentional. Not a Harden or Morey fan but video clips are the way you show evidence of the problem. Going public with it does seem to be counterproductive.

    SERIOUSLY, WHY DO YOU GUYS KEEP RECORDING AT HOME?? ALL THAT DOES IS MAKE THE SHOW LOOK LAZY AND BORING!! IF THOSE AREN'T AVAILABLE AT THE STUDIO, THEN SOMEONE ELSE SHOULD DO THE SHOW, COVID IS OVERR!!!!
