Pelicans’ Jordan Poole throws shade at Wizards fans for not being fired up enough for a tanking team
The New Orleans Pelicans have gotten off to a rough start to the 2025 NBA season, currently sitting at 0-2 after their most recent home loss to the San Antonio Spurs. The team is still working to integrate some new pieces into the fold, including Jordan Poole, whom they acquired from the Washington Wizards over the offseason in exchange for CJ McCollum.
Poole has bizarrely taken numerous shots at the Wizards organization and their fans since arriving in New Orleans, and that trend continued with a new quote ahead of Monday evening’s matchup against the Boston Celtics.
“I loved it. I went back and I told all my people, like it feels so good to be in an environment where the fans are engaged, and you can feel the electricity in there. You can feel the positive energy. You can feel the fans chanting. Like, the last two years? Dead in there. It was dead in Capital One,” Poole said.
While it’s true that the Wizards aren’t necessarily known for their raucous home court environments, Poole didn’t exactly give fans a lot to cheer about during his time there.
### An Interesting Pelicans Team
As previously mentioned, the New Orleans Pelicans have stumbled out of the gates to an 0-2 record, although they have faced two potential Western Conference playoff teams in the Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs to open the year.
The Pelicans are still waiting to get Dejounte Murray back from the torn Achilles he suffered last year in order to be completely whole. However, the team has received two strong performances from Zion Williamson to start the season, with Williamson scoring 27 points in each of the first two contests.
Looking ahead, the Pelicans are set to host the Boston Celtics at 8:00 PM ET on Monday evening. Following that game, they will embark on a road trip that includes matchups against the Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, and Oklahoma City Thunder.
Stay tuned for updates as the Pelicans work to find their footing and build chemistry this season.
