Pelicans @ Heat Game Thread

[Mythrol]

In order to be most improved, you have to have been a bad player originally, right? Also, his team basically let him walk. The sign and trade was Dell being nice.

Edit: how many good players have won that award?

Yeah, I'm sure that guy who just got traded to Miami for 2 firsts was utter trash. Not a good player at all. Nor that guy who broke his leg in Indiana, or who was traded for Wiggins and another 1st round pick. All garbage.

Here's the List. Educate yourself.

and the beauty of an assist from EG

[Perth_Hornet]

Watching Gordon shoot is bringing me to the edge of you know what

[UNO Gracias]

Good players win the MIP, bad mediocre players win the MIP. Right now it looks like Ryno is on the higher end of the list. Still would have traded him (knowing what we know now).

[HornetGuru]

whiteside might be the best rebounder in the nba not named drummond.

2 BIG OBSERVATIONS

1. Norris Cole and his leadership says slow down slow down slow down
2. We let EG handle the ball up top and not run the same ole Tyreke Barrel to the lane play and movement of the ball and chance for 3 pt play.

Play smart Pels, dont beat yourselves. not just tonight be the rest of the way through!

i missed it what happened?

a couple of bad possessions by both sides w/ real quick shots that were all missed... Cole grabbed a Heat miss and put his hand out to slow everyone down

finally someone who realizes the clock is our friend and we need to milk it down

[Pelicantoo]

Credit where due. Asik looks great tonight

[Eman5805]

It's only one game, but Cole is going to fit in well at this rate.

Out of 20 or so on that list, I count 5 guys that you would consider good or above average. Dragic isn't one of them. He had One good year. By your standards, Mosgof is the goat. He got 2 1st rounders also. I'll give you George, Zbo,
Kj, J. Rose, and t-Mac. The rest are journeyman

I think the best thing about him is he pushes the pace REALLY WELL.

[kidjock24]

HOW did we blow this team out? This team is an enigma.

[HornetGuru]

norris cole strikes again!!!

[Perth_Hornet]

Asik has 15 points

Hell hasth frozen over

[MichaelMcNamara]

Whiteside with 11/16/5 but did anybody feel like he was a real difference maker as they watched the game. Guy puts up stats, but I am not overly impressed

I mean I don't want to Cool Story Bro you but 5? Gtfo. The original point was that Ryno was a flash in the pan (untrue). Then it was MIP means he was garbage no good players win it (untrue). Want to hate on Ryno? Ok. But don't make up **** just to do it. He has been GOOD multiple years.

Dude, I'm not going to argue but good players do not win that award. There are outliers but in most of those cases it's before they became the players that they'd eventually become. Gheorge Muresan won that award. Think about that.

I stand corrected. I should have included k. Love

[JunkHead]

Ok I missed almosta ll of the game tonight due to being on the phone with internet tech support, but from what tiny bit I did get to see, (First 5-6 minutes, and last 5-6 minutes), it looks like the team played very well. It really sucks that AD and Ryno got injured again, but the other players played very well. Asik had a good game, and Cole was VERY good in his debut. Again, really hate to see the guys get hurt, but if AD and Ryno can come back 100% soon, tonight showed signs of the rest of the team doing well. It truly is scary what this team is "capable" of at full health. It just sucks balls that the team never be 100% for more than 1-2 games at a time.:\

Also, Cole is a fantastic addition to this team. And I also read some comments about Babbitt being good on defense? No Joke. He's always been decent. Was he ever amazing? No. But decent. He's no Tony Allen, But he damn sure isn't James Harden either.

Oh also, Jimmer looked good holding down the bench. Can't let those chairs float away you know.
