Dejounte Murray has cleared the air.
Go to YouTube for my reaction to his comments and my thoughts on Zion taking his shots.
Should the Pelicans keep James Borrego as head coach… or start fresh this offseason?
I break down the case for and against.
Watch now.
Going Live at 6pm on Mardi Gras.
What could go wrong?

Adam Silver’s talking about ending the NBA Draft. He should. I talked about that, and other fixes for the NBA last year.

Pelicans drop their last two games as the schedule gets tougher.
On The Post Up, we break down what went wrong, why trade talk is heating up around two key defenders, and what the numbers say about where this team is improving—and where it isn’t.
6pm CT.
Live tonight at 6pm CT.
I’ll be discussing the Pelicans’ horrible defensive effort, the regression of the rookies, Zion’s diminishing impact, and look ahead to the Lakers and Hawks.
It took Willie Green 106 games as head coach of the Pelicans to pick up his first 5-game win streak.
James Borrego did it in 18.
The Pelicans are now 8-22.
They’ve won 5 straight.
My good friend @davidmgrubb.bsky.social says good teams have 5 game winning streaks.
I don’t know to think about this squad but Borrego ball is fun.
Live at 6pm CT
Let’s talk about Zion, learning how to win, difficult but necessary decisions to be made, and adding another veteran to the mix.
Going back to 3x/week starting next week.
Before the Pelicans take on the Grizzlies, check out The Post Up on YouTube. What’s gone right, what’s gone wrong, and early trade talk.

Six losses in a row. Borrego takes over.
Are the Pelicans nearing a breaking point? We’re talking all of it live at 6pm CT on The Post Up.
Willie Green has to have ALL of the bad records before he leaves.

Teams are averaging 124.2 ppg against the Pelicans during this losing streak.
The 2019-20 Pelicans opened the season 0-4, allowing 120 or more in each of those games, but stopped the bleeding in game 5.
The Pelicans fall to 0-5 after a 126-124 loss to the Clippers. They extend their losing streak to 12 games, one shy of tying the team record, set during the 2019-20 season.
Opponents have scored at least 120 pts in all 5 games. That is the first time in team history that has happened.

BASH: You all found ways to pay the military and WIC. But why are you drawing the line now on 40 million Americans who literally will not be able to eat with govt assistance?
MIKE JOHNSON: If we had a contingency fund we could use, that would be done.
BASH: They say that's not what the law shows
They don’t. Or we wouldn’t be watching this now.

According to reports, the Pelicans are in serious discussions about Willie Green’s future. My question: What’s to discuss?
30.10.2025 17:56 — 👍 4 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

The remaining 6 teams averaged 22.5 wins, with a low of 19 and a high of 30.
Firing Willie Green is necessary, but the prospects of a turnaround aren’t great.
Since 2012, 8 teams have fired their coach in fewer than 25 games. Of the 8, only 2 made the postseason:
2012-13 LAL: Mike Brown fired after 1-4 start, Lakers finish 45-37.
2015-16 HOU: Kevin McHale started 4-7 before the Rockets finished 41-41
Cont’d
All of it. All of it.

What can you say you’ve done well, other than get to the line?
And you’re still bad at all of the things you have to be good at.
Can’t rebound. Cant run.
Can’t get back. can’t string together enough stops.
Can’t pass. Cant create enough easy baskets for anyone to get into rhythm.
