Dejounte Murray is actually a pretty good basketball player contrary to popular belief

DanFlashesC0up0n | Pelicans

I don’t think anyone doubted him being good we were wondering how he’d look coming off an Achilles. Promising returns so far

DanFlashesC0up0n | Pelicans

Last six weeks or so has been fun adjacent

schoolhater12 | Raptors

34 | 8 hours ago

I genuinely think that the Pelicans are a straight up better team than the Raptors and it’s not even close.

BI now has a negative +/- on a team that is like 7 games over 0.500. On the contrast, Scottie Barnes is extremely positive for the season. I genuinely hate the fact that Darko saw that Raptors were playing fast and fun basketball through Scottie at the start of the season and decided it would be better if we play nasty BI and IQ ball. I know Scottie didn’t have a great offensive game but it’s crazy

AnotherStatsGuy | Pelicans

15 | 7 hours ago

Plus minus has never been in Ingram’s favor. His ability to create his own shot even as a second or third option means he gets paired with bench guys a lot.

schoolhater12 | Raptors

19 | 7 hours ago

He plays with starters, It’s Scottie Barnes that staggers with the bench

maejor_ced | Pelicans

13 | 7 hours ago

Haven’t watched any Raptor games but does BI still play iso hero ball in the 4th? He was one of my fav Pels player but he loss so many games doing that

schoolhater12 | Raptors

15 | 7 hours ago

he has won the team maybe 3 games playing like that, and lost then 10 games playing like that. There have been multiple games where double digit leads turned into close games because the team started playing BI and IQ iso ball in the 4th

maejor_ced | Pelicans

6 | 7 hours ago

Sounds about right. New Orleans still love him for sure. Good luck in the playoffs

hickok3 | Raptors

3 | 7 hours ago

It’s not just him playing hero ball. It’s litterally what our dumbass coach who needs to be fired draws up for the team. Rather than do anything productive, we will dribble the air out of the ball trying to establish a post up for Ingram. While he struggles for position for 15s, the rest of the team just stands there and watches, including the player with the ball, before barely getting it to him with 5-1s on the clock. He then forces up a bad shot, which is likely a miss. We do that for entire 4th quarters, just pissing away winnable games.

maejor_ced | Pelicans

6 | 7 hours ago

Bruh don’t bring back bad memories lol that’s exactly what fire coach Willie Green would do…. Dribble dribble dribble, hand off pass to BI with 10 seconds, BI trying to gain position until 5 seconds on shot clock and praying it goes in…. Literally no ball movement

Why are you saying this like a hot take? Raps were never a good team especially with no shooting

Ingram signing was always gonna be cancer

Ok_Possible_5702

-4 | 7 hours ago

Why do you need to drag BI, to excuse Scottie’s being a black hole on offense on half the games?

You know who Ingram is. That’s who he has been all his career. If anything, he has overperformed for the Raptors since he’s been incredibly healthy (while usually he misses 15-20 games each season).

You don’t like him? Shouldn’t have traded for him and locked that contract on your cap space.

myhellcatgotRepod | Hawks

Watching the Raptors shoot and brick wide open 3s all 12 minutes in the 4th quarter gave me second hand embarrassment

myhellcatgotRepod | Hawks

7 | 7 hours ago

I just don’t try and rationalize a team that gave up a 1st round pick for 34 year old Thad Young and a 1st round pick for Jakob Poetl in back to back years those were signs they are not a real NBA team

Springtick38 | Raptors

me too. This is a coaching issue. The team should be attacking the paint with Scottie and RJ. Instead, the team does this regularly

No reason for us to tank. Hopefully we get a few more

AnotherStatsGuy | Pelicans

15 | 7 hours ago

The Pelicans are looking stronger and stronger as the season goes on. It’s not perfect, but actually having everybody for a change allows guys to get comfortable.

I get the criticism of Dumars on asset management, but the health of the team has dramatically improved since his hiring. Even it did take a minute for it to actually start.

Ok_Possible_5702

8 | 7 hours ago

Murray, Herb, Trey, Zion is a pretty good starting 4. None of them is a super star, but all of them are legit starting-level players.

The center position is the weak spot, but Missi is very playable in that position (imho below average for a starting-level center, but not terribly so).

DJFreezyFish | Nuggets

4 | 7 hours ago

Also not running as many Zion Queen lineups has been helpful.

daybreaker | Pelicans

4 | 6 hours ago

Imagine if we could swap Poole for a different player with the same salary who actually contributes. Stay healthy, have a whole off-season and training camp without willie as HC, and oh my god I’m falling for it again arent I

heat_fan_ | Raptors

Just absolutely Embarrassing

Got roasted by Trey Murphy and Dejounte Murray, and Zion

We were 4th at one point now we’re a Play in team l 😢

Ancient_Pitch_8286 | Raptors

they were over achieving playing against injured teams at the beginning, that’s all. they are just not very talented. need infusion of talent via the draft.

Klaytheist | Raptors

5 | 7 hours ago

Early season mirage. Easy schedule and injured opponents inflated our record

Milpooool | Tampa Bay Raptors

1 | 4 hours ago

I recall that the Raps had one of the easiest strength of schedules for the first half of the season and one of the hardest for the second half. Idk how true this is but their performance has basically indicated as much. Also they were all healthy at the start of the season and caught a lot of luck with opponent injuries. They are just not a very good team unfortunately.

We are officially in the play-in. Fuck.

Oh and fuck Dejounte Murray.

Youngreezy23 | Pelicans

6 | 7 hours ago

Nobody asked you and yeah it was exciting he got crossed and fell and got a three for his troubles you’re acting like a player never taunted their opponent in the history of basketball.

You would faint at the stories of all the trash talk Larry used to do on the court.

Also stop trying to talk down to another fanbase like the suns accomplished anything.

Nola67 | Pelicans

13 | 7 hours ago

I think they were mainly just saying it’s nice to have a player who gives a shit for once— for better or for worse. And as a lifelong Pelicans fan, I agree wholeheartedly. We don’t get many guys around here that want all the smoke— even when it’s corny. So seeing it play out is oddly refreshing.

shaad20 | Suns

I can see how it would be conflicting when you put it that way. I just can’t see it that way as someone who was just randomly watching on league pass

They justified it immediately, no? Shead grabbed his jersey on the way down

tkc123 | Raptors

-6 | 7 hours ago

For real, pretty stupid to justify unsportmanship. Then to top it off they said it was okay because Shead fouled him and held him after like are you blind?

shaad20 | Suns

2 | 7 hours ago

At first they were convinced something extra had to have happened just based on how Murray was acting, and then as the replays kept playing they started reaching for a reason it was okay. Then they just kept talking about it lol it was weird

Aggrokid

What happened to Derik Queen? Now he’s getting little playing time.

SadPels | Pelicans

12 | 7 hours ago

Team is healthy and trying to find competitive lineups to build momentum into next year. When fully healthy Queen comes off the bench with this roster

He’s struggled badly defensively too this year so it’s worked well with him against bench lineups

DJFreezyFish | Nuggets

10 | 7 hours ago

Pels realized him and Zion were awful together, so they started changing results. Lot more wins, but also less Queen.

Ok-Comfortable1111 | Pelicans

8 | 7 hours ago

He isn’t contributing to winning quite yet. He’s skilled, very promising, but the Pels have no reason to lose games, and he’s definitely lost them some games

bishopbeaniepower | Warriors

5 | 7 hours ago

He and Zion are an awful fit and Zion is way better. Plus they just got another ball handler back in Dejounte so less opportunity for Queen to be a hub which is kind of his whole value at this point.

ComprehensiveList769 | Hawks

2 | 7 hours ago

Why don’t they make Scottie a point forward

shangalang69 | Raptors

4 | 7 hours ago

he doesn’t have the handle or shooting to make it effective. plus, the spacing is dogshit and he just sees 5 bodies in the paint every time anyways. our offensive scheme is actually really good, just dogshit shooting from the players.
