By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostWhy do the talking heads all go on about how smart Kyrie is?Well Kyrie is smart. He just smart dumb some times.
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostWhy do the talking heads all go on about how smart Kyrie is?Idk probably the “mental health” wave. They have to tiptoe around calling a spade a spade. There’s nothing smart about visiting a vulnerable population like native Americans and being flippantly mask off around them.

He supports some good causes but on balance he is a flat idiot
Pretty sure Pelicans put Zion through the photoshop his rookie year. I still remember that picture from him looking jacked before the bubble and then showing up a month later completely out of shape.
By s y Go To PostOh damnLmao same. 😂
I thought 2021 was the bottom 🤣
By DiPro Go To PostKibs did warn about the local food.
2021 zion looking thick.
bottom is rookie year.

By domino Go To PostJesus Zion.His step-dad is his trainer. His mom is his nutritionist.
He needs his duke trainers back. Dude was a monster then
The Pels are trying to have him do better, but can't force him to.
By Old King Rob Go To PostDoes hiring family members ever actually work outTo a certain point. After draft night there should be a collective step back and reevaluation imo

By reilo Go To PostBen Simmons' brother is his shooting coach. Seems to be a theme here.
I plan on getting a trainer for my nephews when they turn 15-16 ish, until then I teach them.
Nadal did fine with his uncle as coach.
Tennis in general has lots of dads coaching especially on the women's side.

Trae Young's father was his trainer but he's a former D1 player.
JA, Murray, LaVine, Kyrie etc all trained by their fathers too.

How long are the Pelicans planning on milking the "Zion is definitely playing in October 2021" thing? Dude still isn't running.
By Sho_Nuff82 Go To PostHow long are the Pelicans planning on milking the "Zion is definitely playing inUntil Zion and/or his reps say it is ok to finally admit that that.October2021" thing? Dude still isn't running.
By DiPro Go To Postmom as nutritionist is pretty funny."I miss my momma's cooking"
do you though? maybe you shouldn't after this photoshoot
Also, he's clearly gained weight because he hasn't been able to stay in shape due to his broken foot. Rinse, repeat.

Yikes
Pundits have the Warriors as a Top 4 Seed. Stat nerds have them as a lottery team. Who shall be right?
Pellies with 48 wins, how lol
Pels are probably one of the highest variance teams. Anything between 25 and 50 wins is easily believable, imo.
By reilo Go To PostClassic PelsIn basically every sense. At least this version has multiple young players and a bunch of draft picks.
By Old King Rob Go To PostWhy are Hornets expected to do worse? Didn’t they improve roster wise?They lost some "productive" players and didn't really replace them. Due to last season, oubre may not be considered a positive player in their metrics, either.
Some other Hornets fans I follow think their record will be within a handful of games of last season, mostly depending on internal growth, iirc.
Also, Zion isn't cleared to play and had a broken foot during an important offseason for his development. He's also clearly come into camp out of shape because of that. Can't just slot him in to be Zion/make a leap.

Isn’t it also a case of Bulls/Heat/Celtics/Pacers/maybe Wizards have improved more than Hornets?
Wrong conference, footy lad

Hornets are East
By n8 dogg Go To PostIsn’t it also a case of Bulls/Heat/Celtics/Pacers/maybe Wizards have improved more than Hornets?Yeah, that, too. Even if you are a better team, other teams can have improved even more so that your improvement doesn't show in final record.
Oh my god, my brain is stuck in 2010 when the Pelicans were still called the Hornets 😂
IN OTHER WORDS, DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING N8

i have no idea how people keep projecting the hornets to be worse when we were throwing games with devonte to start the season and relying on biz and cody inside. the bulls are supposed to be better but if derozan couldn't be a difference maker in san antonio then why would he be on a worse team? and the wizards are gonna be ass like always.
the pacers will absolutely be better. the celts are in limbo and it really comes down to how they accept it.
not sure how the raptors are a playoff team at all

Calling it. Heat will finish above 76ers (hell, maybe Nets if they load manage KD/Harden for play offs)
