Pelicans vs Mavericks game thread.

Doug McDermott looks like he'd pay you $100 for a half ounce of oregano.

why does Moore always look like he's in pain

I hope you're right

Imagine if more and Miller get back to hitting 40+% from 3 again we will be hard to beat

I was thinking the same about collinsworth! Haha

Great first half! 65 pts on pace for 130! Right at our 127 avg. gotta keep our foot on the gas!

Yea by us being small market we have to overpay and I doubted Jrue being worth it because there were other options and jrue has had Awful games but as of lately he is looking like old Jrue before the injuries back in Philly. Been more consistent if he could keep it up the league is in trouble if Boogie stays here cause it would be a legitimate big 3.

Boogie isn't going anywhere! We have dreamed of having a team like this and no way they blow it up after the season we are putting up! even if there is some doubt about cousins coming back fully. You HAVE to take that small risk! dude is all world talent like only 5-10 others in the NBA and we already have another 1 of those in AD

Boogie/brow/holiday were already a top 5 big three. So, yea if boogie comes back and mirotic kills it next season we may be in the top three teams of the west conversation

I have to listen to the Dallas commentators call the game and they are so so bad

Joel and David are Gods compared to these nuffys

Same. They are... Uh... Not very good at their jobs.

You guys want Cousins back? All the on/off metrics show that you guys are worse with him on the court. Doesn't the fact that you also got on this huge winning streak without him also support that? If I were you, I'd want to let him walk. Not worth the money and not a good fit

Yeah i'd let him walk to the Bulls.

You're crazy! boogie here gives us so much versatility! We just had no other healthy big guys when he was playing! With the team the way it is now he would be a big difference maker allowing AD to be able to play the 4 instead of getting beat up trying to play 5 against bigger guys!

You clearly didn't watch much of us this season. The pairing of AD and Boogie on court together was very very good statistically.

We went 7-1 for the 8 games prior to him going down, including against teams like Houston. So we went streaking with him too.

Joel might legitimately be the best commentator in the league.

This needs a whole thread of it's own

Boogie gives us that much needed scoring threat when we play better teams like Houston, GSW, and others!

Why don't you guys watch the gamEs on fox sports go, gives me PELS commentators every game that isn't national

We only had Boogie for a short time. Everyone is still learning how to play together. If Boogie comes back the league is trouble with the twin towers.

Lol makes sense. If you have any friends in the Nola area that can grid you their cable logins, I live south of Houston but I use my moms logins to watch the games she lives in the Nola area.

Defense is slacking so far in our 3rd quarter lul

What is Davis doing tonight

I think the team was just started getting into a groove when the injury happen and now we got a bunch of great Big depth with Oka, Mir, and Diallo coming out to his own. I wonder what we are going to do with Jackson and Hill. I feel we can be really good next year at full strength. The team may be a bunch of misfits, but they really come together and rally into a respectable squad.

Chieck is playing well

He's doing the LeBron James

Diallo is hustling! At least he plays with a lot of heart the rest is coming along!

He's been better since that horrendous bit of defending not long ago :P

What's the word on Frank Jackson, anyway?

diallo kinda dominating

Diallo looking real good right now

Nice Diallo!

Even ian clark is hot :D

the lack of defense on dirk is astounding

Lemon gets blocked twice a game. It's pretty crazy

Lemon's body moves to fast for his head.

Yeah I have to imagine this is probably it for the guy after this 10 day.

I'm actually a little surprised he got a second one TBH. He must show something in practice. I'm not really seeing it though.

man this team really doesnt wanna get AD going tonight, putting him in tough spots all night and when his open on the roll we dont give it to him. lol?

If rondo can teach him to kick those out when he's covered, we might have something. Because he has shown to be able to get to the basket, just needs to learn to only take the shot if he's open and look for someone at the 3pt!

It is painful to watch Lemon receive minutes.

Is Noel even going to be in the league next year? Guy is a flat out scrub

Other than the 1 layup Lemon made earlier tonight, he was 0-6 on lay ups & hadn't TOUCHED the rim with the ball.

Dirk looking like 2011 Dirk.

at this point, we deserve the L. sad stuff
