Our collective goals/expectations are higher than that now

some people here just can't wrap their head around that though.... the "just happy to make the playoffs" mentality is strong with this group, and it's that mentality that will keep this franchise stuck in neutral, right where we are, for as long as we continue to support that bullshite

that's why even getting in the playoffs, after Zion went down and it was CLEAR AS DAY that we had no chance of advancing, it would have been better to just lose the fricking 2nd play in game, end the season, preserve our draft position, and pray for changes to be made.... but no... we made sure to frick all that up... but hey, that invaluable playoff experience for Trey, Herb, and Dyson, right guys??

Did you miss the empty seats and the $7 tickets? It was absolutely crickets in the city regarding this team. I heard more about where LSU womens basketball players were transferring to than what was going on in Pelicans basketball.

It is an absolute embarrassment that you can't fill up your own stadium, which has the smallest seating capacity in the NBA, during a playoff game. There is less support for this team today than there was last year when we lost both playin games.

I don't believe David Griffin is happy with the way this season went. He finally got to see the team at full health so that is no longer the excuse. They needed to see what this team could look like at full strength. They saw it was a good, but very flawed team that had a clear ceiling. Now, I believe Griff will feel more impowered to make changes. I can understand the hesitancy to make major changes before seeing what you actually have.

Disagree. It's better that we were able to prove that BI can't be a big piece of a serious contender.

To me, that's worth wayyyyy more than ~4 picks higher in the draft.

If you think this series didn't shine a brighter light on our issues and won't motivate Trey and Herb I don't think you really believe they can be real players on a contending team.
