It's so good to have a floor general like EP on this team. Makes you scratch your head at the fact that on why did we sign Nowell in the first place. Anyway great game from him. EP and Jose are going to battle for that backup PG spot coming down the stretch of the season. Something to keep an eye on
I love Jose, I really do but he’s no EP..Jose looks to shoot first, EP is definitely trying to distribute first and shoot when it’s there for the taken!
I understand this team is too talented when fully healthy to keep losing. With that in mind still TANK. This is coming from a person who wants the pelicans to win a championship. Sometimes you got to go in reverse to go forward.
@Eyesofthestarsmusic He's not starting over DM. We paying him alot money so he's the starter. EP is a great backup when he's not in the game so CJ can play his natural position but off the bench as a SG.
It was a great performance by Payton. I don’t want to take away from that fact. With that said I don’t know how he managed to get 21 assist from what ai watched. I know years ago they changed the rules for how an assist is recorded, which made it much easier. I remember at a few points I was watching Payton closely, hoping he would get another assist, only for Joel Meyers to tell me he had gotten two more than I noticed. I was left wondering when he got those assists. I’m going to have to go back and see a video of all his assist to find if they were legit.
He’s not negative, just stating the facts. As long as WG is the coach expect mediocrity. We’ve yet to see BI and Z play well together, it’s been like 5 years.
Yes there’s good and bad. You can choose to focus on the negatives we still have TM3, Hawk, Missi, DJ Murray and CJ so this is still a talented team. A year for development is a step so it’s not a “failed” season. I want to see BI and Z traded myself but I’m happy the core is gaining chemistry and getting better
Said it all last year lest you forget. The number one need for this team since Rondo is,,,,, Point Guard!!! Point Guard!!! Point Guard!!! Special Note: Please cut out the Point Zion nonsense. You are probably a better point guard than that flop.
Elfrid Payton is The definition of a true point guard and with Murray is coming back that’s going to be a great one two punch for us.
Then what happens to Jose? We went from no point to a bunch when they’re all healthy lol

26:00 it feels like we can have a true starting line up since the beginning of the season
ELFRID PAYTON IS THE HOMETOWN HERO. Should’ve found a way to keep him the first time we had him in New Orleans.
Payton was balling like this the last time he was here. Remember when he had a triple double for 5 games in a row!? I can’t believe they let him go.
Willie is still having head scratching moments. Starting Theus & some of his rotations are impossible to understand.
We also probably getting Murray back Wednesday. This team might just have a historic turnaround in them coming up.
Restructure the bench…get Reeves in, and you’ll be correct.
Highly doubt it
Why can't the Pels so call 3pt shooters make 3's in crunch time. Pressure bust pipes
Where was Antonio Reeves? He looked pretty damn good shooting threes two games ago!!

Facts brother
Dump 2 out of three of CJ, BI and Z. Trade for assets and give the young players more run while tanking.
We found our back up PG. 👍
20 assists does not sound like a back-up.

Moral victories are not the same as real wins.

Elfrid Payton dropping 22 assists is a suitable hilight for a season this bad. A really weird bright spot
Dude is deep!
Love Elfrid’s game
Missi JRE and Elfrid been great
Hi Jake
Every dayer! 🇵🇭🇵🇭
We looked good last night, IMO. We just the rest of our squad.
Here for the moral victories....🏀🇬🇧
The playoffs are definitely not out of reach we have 4 months left and a healthy team coming in
Missi Has the?
Least amount of experienceof anybody in the NB. You might need to do a story on him.😅
Every dayer
Fire Willie Green ASAP
Asap
Then David Griffin right after
I Agree
All this praise for Elfrid Payton, he’ll be benched when Jose come back🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
So when everyone is healthy (please God)…. Who is your 12 man roster?
Welcome to another failed season
Don't be so negative my guy. It takes many steps to be a contender. We have young talent develooing now. Enjoy the journey 🤙
