re: Pelicans offense is too easy to stop

To be frank, "the system" tore his hamstring against the Lakers. To me, that is the takeaway. Everyone - owner, front office, coaches, fans- there is no hedging anymore. For this franchise to have success, it has to be through Point Zion. I know it's risky with his health history, but that's the only path. Anyone not fully committed to making that "system" work needs to be jettisoned.

This series needs to be the death nail to any idea that BI is somehow or capable of being 1B or part-time 1A. His desired offensive style is outdated and too easily neutralized by good, physical perimeter defense, let alone elite. It doesn't work and when it does, it's not good enough. Everything moving forward has to be about maximizing Zions gravity and embracing him as the unquestioned face of the franchise.
