2016/17 Pelicans thread

im waiting for the stats nerds excuses to explain why this team is doing bad.....they will point the finger at anyone but the 2 pseudo superstars

May I ask why you always post in such a condescending and antagonistic manner?

Whatever point you have you should elaborate for one and not just look to insult others unnecessarily. For a so-called older poster you definitely behave like a teenager.

Same dude who called Jabari Parker re-tearing his ACL a "blessing in disguise".

Maby I got it wrong but do you stand by this? The Warriors are basically a good college team until they meet a team with bigs in the NBA. If so you ain't got right to preach correctness.

What?

[Dr Positivity]

Too bad they couldn't trade Joerger for Gentry too. Joerger would work for Pelicans as he coached the Grizzlies and has a decent relationship with Cousins. Gentry is ideal Kings coach as Vivek is obsessed with playing Warriors style and thinks Buddy is Curry

[kayess]

juice claims to be an eye test guy? He must be **** blind then, that is the only way any sane, rational human being could come to the conclusions he has while using "the eye test"

[RightToCensor]

I can't wait to see how this front office attempts to add perimeter depth with the contracts of Hill & Asik on the books.

I still can't believe they gave Asik that contract.

What?

Davis and especialy Cousins are the most underpreforming players in the NBA. What is there to discuss?!

[bondom34]

They light up OKC tomorrow,calling it.

The entire bench scoring 11 points and the starting other 3 shooting 6-25?

[BasketballFan7]

I didn't watch the game, but the shot discrepancy between Davis and Cousins was huge. Any insight on that?

jabari parker is probably almost maxed out one dimensional scorer who provide nothing else to a team....he's doesn't play what i like to call winning basketball....if the injury allows a more talented versatile player to develop (maker) the bucks will be better off in the long run but this board is filled with conservative people who are more busy trying to rewrite history than to have the foresight to see the big picture...mark it down chump maker will be better than parker fairly soon

1st half foul trouble

[juice4080]

i agree that we should wait at least 10 games before making premature judgments but so far it's unfolding just like i thought it would........davis is a good efficient scorer who doesn't need to hold the ball for long but not one ideally suited for offensive primacy for the simple fact that his scoring isn't putting any pressure on a defense and he's a poor playmaker for others...this could work but he need to let cousins be the heavy duty offensive option and play the role of a glorified garbage man and finishing play while focusing on his defense (mainly team defense where he's really poor)...cousins is a foul prone reckless with the ball hot head who's about league average defensively.....i would've bet the farm that the pels wouldn't get better defensively with his addition and so far im right

I agree.

I think the Pelicans have the potential to get better on offense just through familiarity and changing some pieces but I have questions about Cousins/AD on defense long term.....

I'll disagree with you there. The Bucks need a secondary scorer now that the Greek Freak has taken over as the #1 guy on the team. Parker is exactly this, as well as a decent rebounder, a guy who makes quick decisions and moves the ball, and is an improving defender. Maker is a center, isn't he? So I don't see how having Parker on the floor would hurt Maker's development. Their roles or skillsets don't seem to overlap much at all.

Also, Parker is 21 years old, so how can you say that he's almost maxed out? He's younger than some of the guys coming out of college in the draft.

that's not the point and never has been the point. The point was how absurdly annoying it was that at the time of possibly a career destroying injury to a 21 year old up and coming player and one of our core guys, your first thought was that it's a "blessing in disguise". That's **** up and it's no surprise you don't see it that way.

sometime the best things comes out of a tragedy this could very well being the case here that's all i was saying

middleton (a better player than parker for now) is back and can easily assume this role...and don't mix up volume scoring with being a better player.....thompson is a better scorer than green and nobody would argue who's better

[DoubleO8]

AD needs to become more of a super workhorse for this teams. Cousins is a legit offensive anchor

[JulesWinnfield]

Cousins picked up a tech for a minor scuffle with Steven adams. I think that triggers a suspension now if they don't rescind it
