yea...expect knee jerk threads the rest of the year...many roll that way here it seems for some reason
I went to their game Friday night and they rolled out six players to start the 4th qtr. That tech FT and the ensuing tech FT Gentry received for arguing it put them down by 14. The natives were restless and not happy with Alvin.
This coaching change doesn't seem to be meshing with the team. Something's gotta give. Either the players turn the corner, or the ownership decides to make another change. The Pelicans are too talented to suck this bad. Davis - Next GOAT in the making Ryan Anderson - Top 5 stretch 4 in the league Jrue Holiday - fools good point guard? Reke- Game of Thrones Gordon - Never got over leaving LA I'm not saying they're great, but to be held winless? Davis alone should win you one or two.
Gentry with the Suns 08-09 season 18-13 no playoffs 09-10 season 54-28 western finals 10-11 season 40-42 no playoffs 11-12 season 33-33 no playoffs 12-13 season 13-28 no playoffs (fired) Total coaching record in career 335-376 That is a pretty damn good coach to you? He had one great year in his Phoenix run but other than that, everything is average to bad.

"A hardship can be deemed to exist when a team has four players who are sick or injured and have missed at least three games, and will continue to be unable to play. If a hardship is granted, the hardship ends when one of the sick or injured players is physically able to resume playing. The team must then release player(s) to get back to the roster limit, although teams have the option to retain the hardship player and release a different player to get back to the limit." From CBA.
For people down on AD - his PER is still 24, he has a new coach, tons of injured (or ineffective) bodies around him so people are doubling him constantly, and he no longer has good passers to get him the ball in sweet spots. I usually don't care for BR, but click below if you want a pretty good detailed look at why AD has struggled. I think by ASB this will seem like ancient history. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...-and-the-pelicans-to-start-2015-16-nba-season
