I have no idea how we will defend both Davis and Cousins with only Marvin, Cody and Wood available. If Cody gets in early foul trouble, that would be devastating.

Man that was sweet. I had it on DVR but got free tickets to the Hornets game. They showed the score on the big screen in the first half when unc was up by 11 but never showed it again. I yelled out Duke cut the unc lead to two and these unc fans in front of me whipped out their phones and we're watching on the ESPN app. Their shoulders were all slumped and in disbelief as Duke pulled away and cruised to victory. We even got a Let's Go Duke chant started. Needless to say I watched the big Duke win when I got home so it was a late night but definitely worth it!

almost forgot about the game, got sidetracked and didn't have DVR set. Disaster averted.

I can't wait to see how Wood looks vs either Cousins or Davis.

One time I watched Pelicans post trade, they looked terrible. Every possession was basically a Cousins iso or AD PnR. So predictable. Was also surprised to see Gentry go with neither player at times, which seemed odd. I'd have one of those two on the floor for 48 mins unless injuries change game script.

Cousins is a **** moron. I jut don't know how you can build a winning team around that dude. He has no control over his emotions. Only way it could work is him on an already good/great team with strong vets.

Odd that Cliff has gone back to having Marco as 1st sub off bench. It was Lamb for the last few weeks until last game (I think).

Davis isn't much better in terms of winning. Only team he has ever won anything with is Kentucky. As a high school junior and senior, his teams went 8-15 and 6-19.

I guess it makes sense. Marco better off ball, catch and shoot. Lamb better creating own offense, which works well with 2nd unit. Lamb better defender to help with Roberts.

I think we may have found a hidden gem in Wood

Wood has tools to be really good in PnR. He looked like a man vs boys last night in garbage time vs Magic. It was too easy for him. If can he figure it out vs next level, he can become solid rotation big. But first, starts with defense, getting stronger, setting better picks.

Pelicans should try to flip Cousins this summer for a better package than what they gave up to get him. That would be hilarious.

Watching Davis dominate when were stuck with MKG makes me want to get drunk.
