Tell them. We know your gambling self is watching games.
Jrue and Randle are having career years. AD legit gets hurt every game. Something ain’t adding up

I think AD is the only superstar with his resume, been in the league for a nice bit, who gets a pass for his lack of success. It's one thing to get on AD about playoff success, it's another to now give a pass for AD being in 14th place.
I understand that it's still relatively early and they could make up some games and get into the offs, but RIGHT NOW? Given the win totals in NOP since he's been there, combined with this season? Come on. The Pels for a myriad of reasons haven't won games w/AD being on the floor since he's been there.
Questioning his impact on winning is fair game. They're in damn 14th place w/a soon to be 250 Million dollar player along w/Jrue and JR.

They def have enough talent to atleast be the 8th seed i'm not denying that, I absolutely think if AD is there through the season they will still make that tho.
But saying he doesn't effect winning is completely nuts.

Go back to October when Pels won 4 straight to start the Season and were smacking TF outta ppl................folks had them Super Super Super high ASAP......were talking about "they will beat GSW this year"Curious as to where y'all had NO's finishing coming into the year
Just browsed the predictions thread, it's only like a page longlike one person had the Pels higher than 5th seed. Everyone else had them 7-8 or out of the playoffs
For real, go look.
Prisoners but still, just curious to see who was talking fast when they popped off 4 quick ones vs Rox, Clips and Kings

Their wing rotation isn’t any more trash than the Grizzlies. Definitely not more trash than the Rockets.
It’s a shame b/c Jrue is playing like a top 3 guard in the conference too

Don't think AD deserves any passes, I just want us to start getting into Davis vs. Giannis vs. Embiid because that's the real discussion
Y'all beating around the bush

Pels wings are either washed or *** lol
Only so much you can do when your role players are ***. Some players need more help. AD is one of those guys.

I'm not knocking AD for the Pelicans for being in 14th place in December...in THIS Western Conference.
Margin of error is SLIM and they're down 2 starters.
Everyone was just slandering Harden and Houston to hell just a few weeks ago and now they're climbing up the standings. Again...there are legit 14 teams contending for 8 spots right now.

By the way this is exactly what I've been talking about. Yall been busting AD's balls for years about not making the postseason. Booker wins 5 games in two weeks and he's the next coming. Still has yet to win 25 games and the suns have gotten worse since his rookie season.
Where is the dialogue?

I knew they would be worse w/o Rondo but not this bad and it can get worse. They might not crack 36-40 wins.

Ehhhh I'm taking the Grizz wings over the Pels lo

Last season I was criticized for saying I might consider taking Embiid over Davis
Last season I was told Giannis didn't belong in Tier 1
The script changes around here quick

To keep it a buck, Embiid is as transcendent as it gets. He truly have it all. He commands a hard double or it’s curtains.
No Embiid slander ever

I'm still waiting to see what exactly it is that is suddenly boosting Giannis & Embiid over AD....

*cough cough* Conditioning *cough cough*
If he ever gets that in check then in the words of Buc Em = League ******

Those Possessions where Horford had him locked up in the postseason say different
- 6,369

I think Giannis has the highest ceiling of any player ever.
- 44,833

Pelicans with Davis have never won less than 27 games
Suns with Booker have never won more than 24 games

Giannis. Once he gets the rebound, he’s running past you, once he picks up that ball from the 3 point line, it’s a free throw shot attempt. You need two/three guys defending him in the paint. He’s making plays when you collapse. And all this without a jump shot at the very moment.
Have ya been watching real live games of him playing?
