Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
THAT WAS THE POINT I WAS MAKING .. DEMARCUS BEASTED AGAINST SAC BY HIMSELF.

ITS NOT THAT THEY "CANT" PLAY TOGETHER.. ITS THAT THEY NOT GUNA MAXIMIZE THEIR POTENTIAL PLAYIN ON THE SAME TEAM. ITS LIKE HAVIN KOBE N MJ OR MAGIC N STOCKTON ON THE SAME TEAM. SURE, THEYLL PUT UP INDIVIDUAL NUMBERS, BUT ITS NOT AN IDEAL PAIRING AND THE FACT THAT THEY PLAY THE SAME GAME MAKES THEM REDUNDANT ON THE SAME SQUAD. SIMPLE SCIENCE.


And they beasted together.....again.


No, it's not like Magic and Stockton or Kobe and MJ, their games aren't as similar as you seem to think. It's not redundant when they're averaging nearly 60ppg, it's an overwhelming pair that is hard to match because most frontcourts have 1 very good defender and 1 average to bad defender. They both hit threes, so they rarely occupy the same space at the same time.

The worst part of your argument is that we know what they can do individually, and so far this season they are blowing their individual career numbers out of the water. So how exactly aren't they maximizing their potential when they both look as good together as they have ever looked on their own.

The same problems they had last year is the same problems they have this year, only worse.
That doesn't mean they won't make the finals

They just need LeBron healthy come playoff time and they'll lose maybe 1 game in the East

Yeah I agree, I don't understand the confusion people have with AD and Cousins playing together

AD roams around the 17 footer to 3 point line alot, and the baseline, and way more agile. He can shoot the 3 with ease

Cousins on the other hand is a true center who commands the paint, posts up, rebounds, etc. Who can put the ball on the floor, And he can shoot the 3

These two don't occupy the same space AT ALL

Exactly, they're playing off one another so well, it's only going to get better for them by the middle of the season. The rest of the team is the question mark, those two you can pencil in for 56-22 pretty much nightly.

That benching fukked JR confidence up. Dude playing terrible.
Nope.. it's the running around ...he runs way too much..they all do...i think it's time cavs let's everyone handle their assignment and live with the results...

Anyway those losses are due to a lack of point guard in the game... once rose is back they will score way more again..heck.. I wouldn't be surprised if his ppg doesn't go up ... people so busy guarding the three from cavs the lanes are opening up.
