Conservation curmudgeon by day.
Mostly here for NOLA, Pelicans, COYS, and avoiding responsibilities.
Thoughts are, unfortunately, my own.
Someone told me today AI isn't the future, it is here and likened it to society being introduced to the car. Need to get on board with progress!

Two things:
-Could be the car...could be the Segway.
-In hindsight, cars are pretty bad!

Heard on NPR today that GDP is flat without AI investment.

Good player. Bad trade.

Pelicans need to be all in on getting DQ ROY.
Derik Queen, amongst rookies:

4th in total points (322)
1st in total rebounds (160)
1st in total assists (97)
1st in Free throw attempts (103)

7th in total minutes (621.9)

The ESPN highlights of DQ's triple double used the San Antonio broadcast and it was kind of fun to hear how deflated they were by his performance.

$100m sitting on the bench is a major reason why the Pelicans can't win any games. Not even those players out specifically, just how much of a difference it would make to have that salary dedicated to available NBA caliber players.

Herb had a good game back, too.
December 9, 2025 at 3:43 AM
THAT WAS THE PLAY?! Jesus.

Damn, tough shot by Harper.

Queen triple double in basically one half.

You don't need Jose in there, either.
Where is Herb? I'd have him in there over Fears to close.

Pelicans need to get these 50/50 balls if they want to pull this off.
December 9, 2025 at 3:05 AM
Eh, that might be a flagrant. Landed on him.
December 9, 2025 at 3:01 AM
Love how Queen is back in early to try and keep his momentum going.

Ref show starting.

Shit that was a fun quarter.
December 9, 2025 at 2:49 AM
Run it all through DQ.

A coach who takes techs for his team AND coaches them up at halftime?!

Fears gets a brutal whistle.
December 9, 2025 at 2:34 AM
Slow starter it is!
I hope this is more of Queen being a slow starter, because he should be looking a lot better against back up bigs.
