Welp...that didn't take long.
Hope they're both okay and won't miss too many games.
What sucks is that Zion just came back and was playing real good too.

Pelicans lose Ingram, Williamson to injury in loss

Brandon Ingram exited with a head injury and was being evaluated for concussion-like symptoms. Zion Williamson suffered a posterior hip contusion.

Now its war.

Well, in 2 years....lol

I still have to play catch up. I'm a few episodes behind. But this gives me hope for the series.

He has no excuse other than to come right out and say the team is poorly constructed.

Was going to make a Russ trade joke, but couldn't find enough shooting to put in the deal. Weird roster.

 

[shopson67]

Jalen Duren is the youngest kid in the league though.

Doesn't look it though. Someone check that kid's ID lol...

 

[The Q]

This is another good time to remind the world that the Celtics were able to trade Coach Doc Rivers away for an unprotected 1st round draft pick.

I forgot who they got out of it…

 

[shopson67]

Good game.

Westbrook is a fucking Moron.

Up 1 and he shoots that dumb ass shot.

C'mon Ham, banish him already. No late game lineups, no starts. Just make the best available trade already and move on. This is painful.

I mean eveyone made a big deal out of house but he was cut from hou for being washed.

He’s a fine depth piece

Also underestimated the loss of Danny green

I love Melton and thought that was a great trade, but you also already have maxey and harden, so his impact was going to be limited due to their presence

I get trying to go 2 for 1.

But go to the god damn rim there

That trade has been out there already.

It’s indiana

Unless you can somehow get Charlotte to give up rozier (which would be idiots to do)

Get Washington hayward and oubre and 3 team oubre out for a sg

Frankly trying to get joe Harris for oubre isn’t the worst idea for either team

Always will be the biggest mystery with this guy. Even now he can pretty much get to the rim at will, but for whatever reason he has always been stubborn about his shot. And everyone he has played for just put up with it.

Doc has to stagger. Maxey/Harden is one choice and Embiid/ Harris is another. The depth pieces around them have to be role players. Maxey Harden Harris Embiid is a square peg in a round hole.

Oh holy crap. Zion's exciting to watch when he can play. I fear he's gonna be a walking injury waiting to happen his entire career.

And folks wonder why Lakers fans blame him.

Even if he makes that shot, it's still a stupid shot because of how early it was and there was no one even in position to rebound.

Literally the worst possible shot that he could have taken.

Hell, it would have been better if he shot a 3. At least if by some miracle, he made it, it would have made it a 2 possession game.

Yeah, no….

Im done defending him.

He cost them the game and he just doesn’t get it.

He can’t make layups, he can’t shoot, his basketball iq is a negative.

Ham tried and he did get him to buy in defensively.

But, you have to trade him or send him home.

I have seen enough.

But it also reduced the risk since you were able to get the ball back anyway.

A lot of people owe Vogel an apology now…
