Guys who did it who have media presences

Kevin Garnett
Paul Pierce
Kendrick Perkins
Dennis Scott
Gilbert arenas
Jeff Teague
Rasheed Wallace
Stephen Jackson
Jamal Crawford
Vince Carter

Etc

Just because you did it before doesn’t mean you can do a better job than guys going to school for this or guys who work beats for years then get an analyst role

Tom haberstroh >>>>
BINGO!

Not to mention most of those guys you named are super biased and it shows in their content. They are entertaining to me because they have good stories of their playing days, but I rarely listen to them for knowledge of the game because they rarely give honest nuanced analysis/opinions.

Funny enough the former players who are usually (not always) the best coaches, executives, and media personalities are role players. The folks who were hall of farmers or all stars usually are the worst at media positions because their point of view is so heavily skewed due to being treated totally different usually than everyone else.

The key is to have a good balance of smart and empathetic non players/coaches and smart, not super egotistical/delusional and heavily biased former players or coaches. .
 
Blame the pelicans roster outside of Zion and Ingram

Herb not an offensive player
Missi isn’t either
Theis (lol)
Robinson-Earl is mid

McCollum was shit (5 points on 2-6 shooting) and didn’t shoot the ball enough as their 3rd best player

Hawkins was 0-6 off the bench but that atleast shows he tried and didn’t hit shots so he’s kinda exempt

But the biggest person I have an issue with all season is this fucking guy

Why did you bring him back? He’s a scrappy backup PG who gets way more attention he deserves because he has a gimmick that you made marketable slightly

He’s supposed to hold it down especially with Murray hurt

He should be doing what Pritchard does for the Celtics every 3 games or so. He’s Puerto Rican Cory Joseph

I agree with this

Also Willie Greens time is almost up
 
If KAT don't put up 15 shots today, I'm gonna have problems with Thibs.

I harp on it a lot but he just has to take more shots

If he's not picking and popping teams are more than willing to just switch and deal with whatever else he going to do

I know its 3 games into the season but only 9 attempts is insane....he's 5th on on the team in attempts

Basically taking the same amount of shots as Deuce Mcbride right now
 
Starts with Brunson he was wilding witg the chucking last game
It's wild. Mans just wants to chuck 25 shots a game.

I know Thibs on some eh they'll just figure it out shit. The ball don't find KAT at all for like 5 straight possessions some times. OG and Mikail getting it where they can.

Whole team needs to make sure KAT touches the ball every offensive possession.
