Pels spaces…I agree, we have the talent and the potential to be great this year. But we’ve got people saying we have to make moves 8 games into a season and we’re 5-3. We did that without our best offensive and defensive players for 4 games. We good.

It’s one thing to be a fan and get impatient with a player’s injury. It’s another to be a reputable writer and do that. Everyone’s body is different. We have no idea how much pain he is in. Not cool.
@NOLAJake
Flying me and my 5 year old out from San Diego to the game on Sunday. First time to New Orleans. Getting BI jerseys for us at the team store at the arena. Stoked!

Willy, much love man. Hope it all works out. Will miss you and BI’s friendship playing out on a regular basis for all of us…been fun to see the two of you bro out.
@ANTHONY50192345
I’m lost. Have you watched any of the play in or playoff games over the last three years? BI had one bad series (OKC) due to injury. Outside of that, he has been the team’s top performer in those situations far and away. CJ?!?! Bruh.
My Pels game day routine:
1. Watch
@relmyers
things to know clip.
2. Listen to
@NOLAJake
on my drive to work.
3. Look for
@retro_pels
hype video for game day.
4. Watch game.
5. Hit the
@retro_pels
anthem.
6. Avoid Spaces at all costs, unless I’m choosing violence.
After last night, Zion has missed more games than Brandon Ingram this season. Zion has missed way more games than BI over their entire span in NO. Yet everyone jumps on BI for his injury this season. No one talks about Zion. He is somehow the savior, the one to build around.
@PelsPress
Anyone consider that BI and Zion have hardly played together before this year AND they have a completely new offense brought by Borrego? Takes times to adjust. Seeing it these last 4 games. Stay tuned.

@Impatientbull
This is the point so many Pels fans are missing. We all want our individual guys we fanboy over to go off every night. For this team to win, someone will have to sacrifice individually every night. They are doing a great job of that now and staying together through it all.
@ProPelsTalk
Fair, but can’t ignore that BI has had similar improvement over same timeframe. Credit to
@1Darsock4
for the below:
BI last 4:
28.5 PPG
4.8 RPG
3.8 APG
53% FG%
45% 3P%
82% FT%
First 9:
22.7 PPG
5.4 RPG
5.7 APG
49% FG%
23% 3P%
75% FT%
Be prepared for blog boys to monitor every last advanced offensive metric tonight. Any drop off anywhere will be blamed on BI. If he plays well, it will be ignored and all praise will go to Zion and CJ.
@ProPelsTalk
You guys crack me up. You hate BI so much it has seriously clouded your judgment. You are willing to overlook all of the flaws of players on other teams just to be rid of BI. Stay off the weed.
@joelvenile
Everybody wants to be head coach and GM. I promise you, we all would suck at both. Enjoy the good times when they happen. Last night was not the time to gripe, it was time to celebrate.

@hmfaigen
I genuinely hope LA plays NOLA in the play in and BI smacks them out. Pure redemption. Might be enough to shake the nonsense out of the front office.
@FearTheBrown
@lospelicanoss
But you then have an all nba player…I’m very confused. Have you considered being a fan of the Thunder? They run their team in a way that seems to align with your pleasures. They also don’t win.
@PelsPress
@NOLAJake
is probably the most balanced member of Pels media. I don’t always agree with his basketball analysis, but he presents both sides on the big issues and his gut is usually dead on. He drops hints on what he’s hearing from the org all the time.
Scoot Henderson has been assigned to the G League for conditioning.
He was averaging 8.8 PTS, 2.2 REB, 4.6 AST on 36.6% FG & 9.5% 3PT before getting injured.
@PelicansLead
To the people saying this would just be more of the same, when Zion gets hurt again at the end of next season, ask yourself, was BI really what was wrong with this team?
@IngramAlerts
I don’t want to start anything with the Zion stans because I’m happy Zion is back, but I’m low key hyped that the group photos always have BI in the middle.
I’m here for mad BI. I’m here for BI tuning it all out and putting his talents on display. I’m here for BI on putting on one more show for the ungrateful. They don’t deserve it, but do it anyway - for you. Villain arc loading…
@PelsFilmRoom
Who put CJ in charge of being the face of the team with the national media? We don’t associate with that guy. He speaks for himself and no one else.
@NOLAJake
Jake your show is my first listen every day. Thanks for bringing the content, even in the dark times (and tornados). Hope this season has been rewarding for you as the team has finally taken that step.
Looking forward to the Pels trading BI to a place where he will be appreciated. Also looking forward to Pels blog boys and BKM crying for a wing player that can playmake and create his own shot halfway through the season when Zion is hurt again.
@70sGreat
Stop. The real debate is BI vs Tatum. Ceilings are similar. Both are number 1 options. Tatum is on a better team. BI is the better leader. I think it’s a push.
Pelicans fans. If BI carries this team to the playoffs, I do not want to see any more ungrateful tweets about BI. Up against all odds and a stacked western conference this year.
Pelicans All-Star Zion Williamson – sidelined since Jan. 2 with hamstring strain – re-aggravated the injury and is expected to miss additional weeks after All-Star break, David Griffin says.
I’m ready for BI to be moved. I’ll follow wherever he goes. I’m sick of the scapegoat nonsense in New Orleans. Preferred destinations: Blazers, Kings, Nuggets, Spurs, Cavs, Pistons, Magic, Heat, Nets.
@BootKreweMedia
I stan BI and have no issue saying he isn’t a superstar. He’s a star (not superstar) and he’s paid like one. All this “$30 million player” talk needs to stop. He’s paid a premium because he signed a long term deal in Nola when others won’t play here. Be grateful.

To anyone pulling my tweets from yesterday or reading my exchange with CJ post game, here’s my two cents. First, this is a public forum. I made a comment and CJ decided to engage. My comment came from an assumption. He clarified, I apologized, we moved on.
Anybody wondering why BI waited until he felt 100% last year to come back hopefully has their answer. Y’all shit all over him when he tried to play through it. But CJ is a warrior for playing like shit last year while hurt and we feel bad for Z that he keeps getting hurt. Smh.

I followed you until you said phase out prop 13. Do you understand how much wealth would immediately vanish? Not all homeowners are rich. That is our best egg for retirement.
@Larrydn22
So excited to have you back next to BI, Larry! Life long Laker fan that moved to NOLA with BI when the trade happened. Been watching your games too. So stoked to have you on our team!
Jimmy Butler on tonight's altercation:
"We'll beat them the next time too. ... When we get them on our home court, it's gonna be a different game. I hope they're healthy."
