Dang how are they 0-4?


Soft interior team.

SUPER poor FTR

BAD defense


I thought they were supposed to be a good feisty defense now that they added Lonzo/BI?

I know Jrue is out and Zion is hurt, but frankly surprised this team is winless.


It should be expected, their two best interior defenders are hobbled. Their best perimeter defender is also hobbled.


And Lonzo/BI have their injury troubles too. Hopefully the injury bug won't be too prevalent on this team.

They stink and I am glad they are not our problem anymore.

Sorry, but at some point you have to win.

I think they're good players. But they need some time.

Good to see BI showing some scoring prowess. But for AD, he was too good to turn down. Just wish we had kept more assets.

Yes, at least by age 21.

To be clear, I'm very happy that we traded for AD, but that doesn't mean that I want to see the guys that we gave up playing poorly. Ingram has really been killing it. Look at this tweet from the Pelicans; I'd say this is impressive...

Brandon Ingram has scored more points (134) while shooting over 50-percent from the field and from three-point range in his first five games with a new team than any player in #NBAhistory. #WontBowDown

BI with 30 pts 12-16 so far with about 7min left in the game w/ Brooklyn. Pels scored 48pts in the 3rd quarter!

The Blue Devils (Zion and Brandon) could be a special duo.

The Athletic put out an article titled "The Rise of Brandon Ingram" ... and I can't read it because it's behind a paywall

1-6. What would be your plan for the team at this point? I know they're waiting for Zion but he may take a while and I would be extremely cautious with him.

Are they going to be players on the trade market come 12/15?

Max Ingram

Then get Zion to lose some weight

Treat this as a development year for 2 great future players If they keep Ingram and Zion, they'll be strong in the future

In the competitive West, a 1-6 start is something that's going to make the playoffs nearly impossible.

This tendency to just not turn up for a quarter, get blown out, game over is something that can happen with youngsters.

Ingram still future superstar though but this year will obviously be a development year for the Pels

Get Zion's weight down!!!
