After his final game in New Orleans, Kobe Bryant took the time to record a brief message for my daughter, Nathalia after we momentarily conversed about being a dad to little girls who enjoyed the game. My “Pink Mamba” doesn’t play anymore, but she still watches this. As do I.

I’m so glad that Drew Brees was not part of this Saints season. Those men earned their own identity this season. They played their asses off for 18 weeks, not knowing who/what was going to be available in more than half of them. They deserve to be appreciated, not overshadowed.

Drew Brees was 42-71 for 523 yards with 3 TDs and 2 INTs after his first two games with the Saints. In 3 of his first 5 starts he threw for less than 200 yards and had 5 total TD passes. Give Jameis some time.

I’ve never owned a home & never thought I would. From the ages of 12-40, I didn’t believe in anything permanent. Bipolar disorder didn’t allow me the peace of mind to think I deserved it, or would be around long enough to have something real. I’m scared and excited, but I’m here.

Sources close to Anthony Davis have confirmed to me that he was neither aware nor consulted on the progress or deteriation of contract talks between the Pelicans and Rajon Rondo and that he wasn’t pleased. How this impacts his relationship with management remains to be seen.

Okay, the attendance thing…again. Based on percentage of tickets sold since 2015 (ESPN figures)the Pelicans ranked -
2015: 14
2016: 13
2017: 16
2018: 16
2019: 19
So, never in the bottom 10. In that period they’ve beaten out BOS, ATL, PHX, DEN, PHI, etc., in certain yrs.
Chris Paul: asked to be traded
Anthony Davis: asked to be traded
Zion: rumored to be unhappy already
New Orleans has been in the bottom 10 in attendance for the last decade. Stars don’t stay there. Maybe move the Pelicans to Seattle.

If Anthony Davis wanted to choose his next team, he really should have waited until free agency. Any demand he makes after asking for a trade means nothing. The responsibility of the Pelicans is to make this team competitive, not the Lakers.

There’s no way any GM worth a damn takes AD over Luka or Jokic even if fully healthy. That’s just insane. Luka and Jokic elevate their teams, AD can play at a high level if everything is right. They are not cut from the same cloth.

Somebody has to look up for me the last time a home team lost a game when it:
- won the turnover battle
- won TOP by more than 12 minutes
- ran 30 more plays than the opponent
- outgained the opponent by 70-plus yards
- and had fewer penalties and penalty yardage

AD’s disconnect is crazy. He can’t ever play for the Pelicans again. He asked for this. Did no one explain to him the ramifications?
Yahoo Sources: New Orleans star Anthony Davis eagerly sought to make his return last night against Indiana, but was rebuffed by management.

The Pelican’ fan base will not fall apart after the trade. They want to see a team compete as hard as it can on a nightly basis, and they didn’t get that far too often. This group isn’t going to win a bunch of games, but they are going to leave it on the court.

Respect again to Brandon Ingram. His game is so much more efficient than it has ever been. He’s grown into a legitimate leader. I say this all the time, he was a statistical All-Star before, he’s an actual All-Star now, game or no game. (1/5)

I’m sorry, but this offseason the Pelicans are going to have to make a choice. You cannot have your top 2 players missing 30-plus games each season and expect to win at a high level.
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.

Lonzo leaves the game with a +/- of 30. It’s his highest as Pelican, & 7th game with a 20 or better. The Pels are 7-0 in those games.
In those games he is 39/79 from the floor (.493), 23/50 on 3PA (.460), with 7 apg and 1.85 spg.
Pels improve to 34-8 when he’s +1 or better.

Remember these things:
- BI and Lonzo couldn’t shoot a 🏀 until Sept.
- Bzdelik joined the staff in Sept.
- Hart is 6 mos. removed from knee surgery
- Favors is playing with a hurt hamstring
- Jrue has played poorly in 2 games and missed the 3rd
It will get better.
