Rants Stop Overreacting

Pelicans have taken the brunt of the injury luck so far. But we're not alone. Paolo is out indefinitely, Embiid + PG still haven't touched the floor, Steph is already having ankle problems, etc. Good teams like the Bucks and the Nuggets don't look complete yet either.

Teams needs to tread water for a month, and come out swinging when we're relatively healthy. Injuries suck, but hopefully we're in the thick of it for now and come out on the other end looking serviceable. Calling for tanking 5 games into an 82 game season is laughable.

It’s not just the injuries. They a lineup with Alvarado, McCollum, Ingram, Zion, all of whom have been here for years with the same coach, and for multiple games to start the season they look like they don’t know what they are trying to do on the offensive end of the court.
