Are the pelicans on the rise to a contending team?

[Wacky D]

injuries will kill them every year

came in to say this.

they have a knack for signing injury-prone players, and seem to be allergic to signing wings.
davis & holiday are the last players remaining from their Band-Aid teams of the past, and I don't trust them to stay healthy. and now, Demarcus cousins gets hurt all a sudden.

if mirotic isn't a free agent, I guess theyre gonna trade him for an SF in the summer.

 

[We Ready]

jazz coming for that playoff spot so somebody gotta go...unfortunately it's the pels

Unfortunately, it will probably be the Wolves.

 

[MikelArteta]

Just need to make the playoffs to activate playoff rondo

If I'm.not mistaken they had to pick up his option for the trade to happen

Jazz have won 13 outta their past 15 games and still haven't moved ONE space up from the 10th seed, all they coming for is a shyttier pick in the draft

Pelicans would have contended this year had Boogie not gone down, no team in the league has an actual lineup that can do anything to stop their twin towers over a 7 game series; the Rockets starting frontcourt that everyone raves about now got humiliated and outscored like 40-2 in the game they dropped to them. They're still capable of making some noise and winning a series if AD stays healthy and they can avoid playing GS/HOU in the first round.

 

[street heat]

im happy they didnt fire alvin gentry and gave him time for his system to work. they clicking now how he envisioned it when he took the job

 

[Liquid]

Sure, Cousins just needs to accept his role as the #2 option assuming he stays.

This is Brow's team. No doubt about it now.

 

[Left.A1]

If they could just luck up on a real wing threat

 

[laflame]

If they could somehow get Devin Booker

 

[Truefan31]

Dame dolla on this team make it legit?

 

[collateral.]

I can’t even recall the last time they had a decent wing that could shoot the 3 and defend. Eric Gordon never wanted to be there in the first place so he never balled out like he is in Houston. As of right now it’s all up to AD to carry them there, but this nikka can never stay healthy. It’s sooo damn frustrating.

 

[duckbutta]

No

Naw it’s because Boogie went down is why the’re so good. Everyone’s role got defined. And AD stepped back in that dominant 2 way role that he couldn’t be sharing the team with Cousins. AD needs the offense built around him and with his ability and talent will elevate his team to a higher level

Also It gave Jrue a chance to go back into his aggressive allstar form. He doesn’t have to worry about deferring anyone. And the nikka low key is really really good. He really is an allstar pg.

 

[Weaver31]

Yes if they finish in the top 5

Getting 3rd seed in West should help with that

 

[Trapperman Dave]

Getting 3rd seed in West should help with that

Pels and Blazers next 3 games might be the difference. I can see both of em going 1-2
