This ain’t possible wtf
What the hell is going on this year? Everybody is dropping like flies
I’m starting to be convinced the Pelicans aren’t a real basketball team
Pelicans heading towards a disaster draft situation at this point lmao
Na this team is legitimately cursed for over a decade. Every year even with AD
Am I a joke to you?
The plague went from Memphis to New Orleans
i think this team is just cursed, honestly.
If you are above 6’2″, can dribble a basketball with both hands, and live in New Orleans, congrats. You are now a New Orleans Pelican.
what are they putting in the water in new orleans?
every Pelicans player I pick up in fantasy gets injured
Flagg in NOLA might be fun.
Anyone know if Smoothie King Arena is built on top of an ancient graveyard?
Pelicans and Grizzlies. Maybe you shouldn’t have animals in your franchise name
I CANT TAKE THIS ANYMORE. EVERY GODDAMN YEAR. I CANT DO IT I CANT DO IT I CANT DO IT
Dejounte and Herb’s injuries are fluke-ish and can’t be blamed on anyone else, but so many hamstring, back and core injuries must mean their medical/training staff is absolutely atrocious, holy shit… Maybe Zion’s body isn’t the problem, he’s just in a horrible place to stay healthy
Genuinely feel bad for the Pels. Love the city of New Orleans. Extremely bizarre people but very nice. They deserve better.
Bring in the exorcist at this point lmao
Bro, come the fuck on. I can’t even tell if this is just awful luck or something wrong with the training staff
At some point you have to point fingers at the training staff right?
In my almost 20 years of being an nba fan I have never seen a more injured team then these pelicans
I’m going to the Knicks pelicans game on dec 1 lmfao, what is the pelicans lineup even gonna be
Fire Dennis Allen!
The league is pushing athleticism to the breaking point (professional sports do). It’s never been a sport that is kind to knees, ankles, hips, and back, but it seems so much worse lately. If you look at the pace of the game, it’s been up since the Warriors came onto the scene. It was around 90 in the 90s and 2000s, and steadily rose to close to 100 since 2015. We are seeing a lot more off ball movement, hard screens; The bodies are breaking down. Not everyone can maintain the athleticism and it’s showing.
New Orleans medical staff couldn’t keep a house plant alive
