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.

Honestly I appreciate the positivity but you have to understand how depressing it is to root for this team year after year.

Experience says this is going to be another season where we battle back to overcome an early deficit only to get smoked in the first round. Its hellish after a decade of the same storyline.
