What a game from Cousins, Davis, Holiday and Moore! We are 3-3 baby!!! ☺️
Is it OK to like Jrue, again?
Our starters stats look great. Poor Dante though. Lol. Glad to be at 3-3! .500!!!
When is the last time we had a .500 record not being 0-0?
What a game! Passing was off the charts, and effort was there all night. Great team win.
If Jrue plays like this consistently, then we are one of the top teams in the conference.
Great game. Great win. Great confidence booster.

Moore had a great game . But when Jrue plays like this we will be almost impossible to be beat. Really good win for the team
First time in Pelicans history three players have had at least 29 points in the same game.
So here's a question if our starting line up keeps playing like this do we mess with the chemistry and put rondo in the starting line up or do we have him come off the bench?

Demarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis highlights
Great atmosphere and always good to see the Cavs fans silent.
If Cousins resigns with this team I truely believe we can win an NBA championship. That gives us the time to add that 1 player we need to be on a Warriors caliber. Maybe we are able to pull a Devin Booker away from the Suns in a couple of years in FA. Who knows but I would have no doubt we can find that guy over the next 2 years to get us in that top tier. Until then we will be a very competitive team that the best will have trouble matching up with. Might make some deep playoff runs but with Dante at SF we just won't be able to take out the Warriors in 7. The way AD and Cousins have looked will have players around the league taking us seriously as a consideration. Maybe Paul George decides he wants to be a Pelican after the season instead of Lakers or Thunder.
It was a much more consistent game than the norm, and it looks like we are headed in the right direction. This is what we need from the Pecans. No huge lulls. Force the Cavs to sit Lebron 6 minutes early every night.
Personally I think what Rondo is going to bring has been way over rated. I like Jameer over Rondo but I do believe Rondo will be an asset. He gives us versatility which is always good to have. I think the starting back court needs to be Jrue/Moore while we use Rondo situationally. I love having Nelson/Clark has the bench guards though. IMO the acquisition of Nelson has changed the value of Rondo for this team but it definitely does not hurt to have 2 solid backup PGs.
I would think that probably wraps up WC Player of the Week for Boogie, unless I ma forgetting somebody else going utterly berserk this week in the West.
good game...this season is not a month old yet and majority of the board is down on the team all ready....this team have to get comfortable with each other....when rondo and hill come back then the team will have to get the chemistry back with those two....give them until the allstar break and if the team has a loosing record then bash the hell out of them lol.....oh and jrue always play good against the cavs so im not going to say he is on the right track lol......yes, i know what i just did.....
Not entirely sure what you're talking about. This while thread is full of guys praising the team for playing well, with good ball movement, gritty defense, and feeding the hot hand. That, and celebrating our best starting record in years. No one has been that down on the team at all the last few games. And Jrue played well tonight, but he also had 20/7 last game with good defense. So it's safe to say he's on the upturn at least.

Jrue Holiday highlights
I'm warming up to keeping Dante at the 3 in the starting lineup. Although he would be a really good swiss army knife 3 and 4 off the bench when Hill comes back. When we are at full strength I starting line up of Rondo, Holiday, Hill, AD, and Boogie with Nelson,Clark, and DC coming off the bench should give us a chance to get deep into the playoffs.
Great Victory.
I know, and I think that's more likely. I think that would also be enough to make us a clear playoff team. But if by some wonder he thrives in the off-ball third option role, I could see a career high for him and that would move us from solid playoff team to potentially a top four seed.
Nice crowd tonight. Guess Cavs rested Lebron tonight in the 4th because of back to back vs winnable game against the Knicks tomorrow night
I couldn't watch the game because of family responsibilities. But I'm really sad I missed this one. Will have to catch a reply.
Someone recap for me please. Looks like AD, Cuz, and Jrue went off.
Jrue started off hot, and we got out to a quick lead. I think Moore had something like 4/5 from three in the first half too. Cabs couldn't make anything work and a big part of it was swarming defense, along with them overplaying defense in the paint allowing Boogie to get 6 first half assists on easy passes to open perimeter Jrue/Moore.
AD really heated up in the second half, Cavs tried to make a comeback through the third but it was good to see Jrue attack some more more and AD had a period of about 90 seconds where he hit a three, got a huge putback dunk (over Cousins, somehow) and then hit another three immediately.
The first few minutes of the fourth were just putting the foot on the Cavs neck, letting Cousins get his triple double, before they gave up. Didn't even play LeBron after the 6 minute mark of the 4th.
Massive credit for Moore, he was on fire. Everyone was passing (we had something like 21 assists on our first 25 FGs) and if you remember the Spurs "beautiful game" era, we actually looked a lot like that. Combine that with intense defense and we looked every bit like an elite team. 88 points for the big three: one assist away from an 88/30/20 night.
I'm talking way too much because I'm hype as hell, but I'm sure you'll forgive me.
Beating LeBron like this puts a smile to my face and happiness to my heart.
True test is if they can maintain this against the Magic. I know Gentry allows this team to have a complete lack of awareness, bu they have to overcome that handicap.
Our next 5 games are Magic, Wolves, Mavericks, Bulls, Pacers. Even if we assume the Magic are what their 4-1 record suggests they are (I think they'll collapse soon personally) I think we stand a solid chance of winning at four of those games. Imagine starting 7-4 on the season.
Great win! This duo is nasty, Cousins is sooo good and AD is just AD. Amazing stuff.
Demarcus Cousins at 33 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists so far on the season.
Thats an MVP stat line.
