Sure, just send me an address for the invoice.

Well, just give me your unprofessional human behavioral observation. This feels like one of those Nigerian ( send me a check in the mail ) scams. BBB told me to beware of them.

We gonna beat Detroit and Lakers. 3 game winning streak before the break.

Rondo needs to play like he played last night.

When you go to double OT with the Nets, it's kind of hard to have confidence going into any game. The Pelicans should change their logo to the shoulder shrug emoji.

Ok. Let’s see. I️ think we will win. We are better and it’s going to show Monday night. We can beat them because we can get Niko hot tomorrow. We will handle them. You underestimate our size and our strength. Niko is 260 and 6’10” not exactly a guy u easily push around like they did with ryno.

Rondo will have another great game. Screw the Pistons. You are dead wrong and you will see tomorrow night.

I think the problem with tomorrow will be the same problem we have had since Niko.

We have a guy that gives us a chance to pick up some of the pieces lost with Cousins gone, but we still have not had really any time to incorporate him into the offense.

Gentry said as much the other night, that Niko is pretty much playing on instincts. And from my perspective, sometimes that instinct is not as fluid as it should be with what the Pelicans have come to instinctively do.

Offensively though it is going to once again take a monster effort by Davis and for Jrue to be consistent throughout the game. Rondo to put in the effort on offense and defense in a way he too seldom does these days.

Detroit is going to be tough. The Lakers should at home should be a good matchup if IT doesn't find his inner Celtic.

I think the key TBH is hitting the ground running after the allstar break. We will need a 2014-15 style turnaround to make the playoffs with a surging Jazz on our heels and playing incredible.

Detroit just lost to Atlanta. Pels have to be ready for a pissed off team looking to snap a two game losing streak.

Also team who is on b2b with starters playing 35+ minutes.
It can go both ways.
AD showed in the past that he can play there.

I don't think it's been rescheduled yet. Or at least announced.

Did you see the play where Embiid backed into him and Davis had to grab Embiid's shorts to keep from flying into the third row?

I'm just as guilty. Let's see how far we can roll like this.

When this was made we were playing like crap and we looked done. Just bc we're playing better now doesn't change what we looked like when this was made.

Yes it was and to the poster who bumped this no one said he couldn't do this, it was just something that he has never shown he was capable of.

Apparently lol I can see it now if Moore starts playing well again some how it's going to negate him playing like trash recently.

I think everyone knew AD had the potential to play like he has over the last 6, the problem has always been AD was too selfless to show it. His attitude change has been a huge part in him putting up insane numbers. I'm glad he got his head on straight.

Guess what. This team is not done. In fact, we are seeing a new team emerge that has grit and if we keep winning and beat teams like rockets and Boston then I’m not ruling anything out. Get the 3rd seed. Jrue has really surprised me. He’s playing like a superstar and I am ok recognizing him as one of the best guards in the league.

it's true... he was totally shell shocked... weren't we all... DC was a major blow. I honestly had started believing AD wasn't capable of being the great player that DC is (playing emotionally and as a leader etc...)... but he's come around, and proven us all wrong.

Hey, the first line of post was "I hope this is an overreaction to a bad stretch of games." So it was and I'm very happy to admit it. Looking back at the descriptors I used--"listless," "sleep walkers," "pouting"--that's exactly what they looked like in the stretch following Cousins' injury. I also said what I expected was for Davis, who looked particularly disinterested, to show he had arrived as a true superstar player and carry the team the way a LeBron or Westbrook would carry their teams. Ask and you shall receive! That is exactly what Davis has done and I couldn't be more pleased. To see him step up and become the kind of force that we always knew he could be.

I don't know exactly what Boogie said to Davis on that phone call, but I bet every coach in the league would like the transcript!

A perfect example of how this team is floored without DMC.
AD and DMC is another story.

Steven Adams breaks down the Thunder’s success not switching at all when he was guarding old mate Anthony Davis pick-and-rolls: “Their guards are not trying to score like that, like crazy...They’re more probing, trying to see if they can drag you out to get lobs for old mate.”

What that literally means is if our guards aren't aggressively attacking the basket, teams will stop following them and focus on AD.

Forget Cousins. Our guards need to stop being passive.

Jrue is the only one who can get to the rack consistently without getting blocked
