If (when) we fire Willie, 99% of the outside NBA media is gonna say “well, the entire team was injured, you can’t fire a coach because of that” and slam us as some incompetent franchise driving away good coaches (like the jets!)
they don’t watch these kinds of games where the pelicans routinely lose tight games that’s right there in their hands because they don’t know how to close out, and when it’s consistent it’s a coaching problem
Even WITH the injuries, if we haven’t collapsed in basically fourth quarter we’ve played in we could AT LEAST be .500. Just something to note.
Gayle you got 1 bum head coach fired, please do the city a favor and fire the other one.
Lmfao
I am p sure we had a six point lead with six minutes to go. The replacement randos were cooking, in control. BI, Trey and Missi come in to close it out and get out of there with the W, as you might expect.
I’m not a ball knower, I don’t know what the problem is. Idk why guys like BI and Trey look so much worse than JRE and Noel. But it’s excruciatingly painful to watch.
You feel for the coaching staff bc of the injuries. But it’s been years of watching this kind of ineptitude on offense. And I think it’s p telling the smoothest offense we saw tn was with 0 starters on the floor. Just blow it all up.
PS: Fuck Game Pass for making me use Streameast and miss the end of the game. Ya I’m in the New York market but if the channel isn’t on YouTube TV you gotta let me watch it. For fucks sake.
The Tank rolls on!
Going to copy and paste my comment from last week where I copied and pasted my comment from the previous week
>going to copy and paste my comment from last night…
>>The Pels frequently lack focus, aggression, and engagement, and I will usually attribute that to BI’s leadership. He is incredibly talented and has elite potential, and I appreciate the steps he’s made to shoot more 3’s, but he is not an engine and that mentality is contagious.
We are the worst clutch team in the league. And yet we still run a stupid ISO heavy offense. Every possesion we run the clock down and we put up a stupid shot.
James Borrego save us.
You know you suck at coaching when the other team runs more dribble hand-offs and still manages to beat you. Fire Willie!
Willie Green’s late game strategy history:
2022: Unsuccessful Brandon ingram isos
2023: Unsuccessful Brandon ingram isos
2024: Unsuccessful Brandon ingram isos
Fire willie green he’s so bad on the offence, no movement no help to get Bi the ball, just a 1000 hand offs and ISOs
Pelicans have the worst clutch offense in the league, maybe league history
I don’t understand how its always so stagnant, there is zero offense playcalling just straight up iso. Always. And it’s always an issue being forced. It’s not like we have Joe Johnson or somebody who’s a killer.
That’s on Willie, he needs to go
I have never seen offense that disgusting in my life other than watching us in our other games this year
Literally fire Willie Green, Trade Zion immediately, or never buy a ticket or anything from this team again.
The Detroit Pistons have better luck than us.
Willie gotta go. You can’t blame injuries on not being able to get 2 fucking points.
I want Willie Green fired since the Play In game in 2023 but this may have been his worst coached game ever. Going under the screen to Cam Thomas but guarding Ben Simmons as if he were KD or Lebron.
At this point, I hope we just tank. Get a top pick. WG isn’t it. Team is full of injuries. Luckily, WG is so bad at his job he will naturally tank for us. He doesn’t even have to try.
I’m watching for Yves Missi at this point. Get all the minutes and experience you can.
We honestly might have better high school coaches around the city.
Trey was awful, he should have been on the bench to close the game. Javonte Green was awful shooting and you had him for the last shot.
Willie is the Cancer. Uninspired offense. Player turned Coaches don’t always pan out especially when that player wasn’t known for being cerebral or a leader.
Fire Willie Green
I’m tired boss
Haha 😛
#NetsNationOwnsYou
This game was lost because of coaching, from not running a play for like the last 4 minutes, just ISO. To people helping on Ben Simmons like he is fucking Anthony Edward, to going to a zone when man to man is working only to give up an easy bucket, to having Yves turn his back on the inbounder, to not standing up for your guys when they get hacked. Nothing has changed from year 1 with Willie. It’s annoying to watch, fuck this I’m just going to go enjoy my new wife and pretend tonight never happened.
Can we just blow this shit up? This team is losing 50 games this year. Fire Griffin, and get someone competent to lead this front office. It’s clear between coaching and this roster that the Griffin area is a complete failure that some people seem to think will be fixed by only changing coaches, yet our entire roster is made of glass, we have no centers that are currently starting caliber (Missi is the future though) and our “stars” ain’t good enough. Coaching sucks, but even if this team is healthy, are they really better than a first round exit at best?
Eleven straight losses incoming
Blow the bitch up
We at least got a competitive game today, all we can really ask for. But not much of note besides Missi is growing at an insane rate.
At this point I’m just here for the tank cause Willie legit does not have a single clue. We legit should be sellers at the deadline, Griff better have his ear to the streets for BI, Zion, CJ, & Murray trades.
Not sure how to do game clips, but someone needs to put the Willie Green ATO in-bounds play where four guys stand still on /r/nba for everyone to laugh about.
The only way we can get rid of the guy is through publicly shaming him. He is a joke of a coach and only when everyone is laughing will his destiny be complete and he can be fired.
AD and Joel could probably coach this team better than Willie.
As silly as this sounds, I am very happy to see Pels loosing. We need to perform extremely bad for good things to come in the future. Good things like sacking Willy
Fire Henry
So we really put the trust in Green for that 3 to win huh? Interesting decision. Really feel like Alvarado should have been in there to facilitate and act as a threat. But oh well, another L.
Murphy looked like someone who hasn’t played in months. It’ll get better in time
The JRE minutes were bearable this time around. His best game of the year by far.
Willie gotta take a long look at himself for coming up with those multiple end of game possessions that resulted in nothing.
This should’ve been a won game. Dunno how many of those we will get this upcoming week. Time to weather the storm it’s gonna be a long one till everyone is back by December
Alright what if we just take all of Willie’s stuff out of his office and just replace it with pictures of AD to convince him to take the job.
We’ll be alright. But we slick look like the 2023 Pistons. But we’ll be alright when guys get back.
Willie is such a nice guy, I wish him the best as long as it’s not anywhere near the Pelicans
Capture the Flagg!
Bro fuck this franchise- I’m too old. Clean house or I don’t gaf. Signed- your supporters
S/O to all the fans that went to the game and watched that bullshit
The last possessions on offense were infuriating
For anyone who wants to defend Willie – it’s not that a random loss against this Nets team broke us, it’s the idea that even if we were fully healthy, in a close game Willie Green will not help his players win.
He’s a defensive coordinator parading around as a head coach.
If Dennis Allen can get fired, perhaps there is hope for Willie Green to get fired.
Ain’t a single mother fucker on this team got a clutch bone in them. THe onyl asshole who seems to lock in durung the clutch is Zion who is injured 75% of the time. If your individual players can’t just clutch it out and win a game for us then coaching needs to come up with some kindd of plan during clutch moments but all wwillie does is call up iso playground shit. This is not a professional team, willie needs to fucking go.
Classic Willie game.
He should be let go but because of the injuries I am assuming he won’t be.
Should be his last year. He’s shown incremental growth in certain areas but we need a better tactician.
Weird that the game-winning shot attempt went to Javonte Green. Assuming the defense is smothering BI and Murphy, I might like JRE as the third option there.

Hire a decent fucking coach just one time
