Far too early to say the experiment is a failure. These two are still doing the necessary things to make this team compete against everybody. You can’t win in today’s NBA without cohesion, OKC is in generally the same boat right now. Cohesion > talent and NO doesn’t have a coach nor complimentary players.
He made the all-star team in 2013 in the East, it's about to be 2018 and he can't shoot the three. Rather than you try to talk him up, here's what the local New Orleans media is saying -
Jrue Holiday – Is It Really That Bad? | New Orleans Pelicans | BourbonStreetShots.com
No, he's a career journeyman, which is why he's about to be 29 and starting fulltime for the first time in his career.
He's about to be 36 years old and can't shoot
@ You saying I'm a boxscore guy, when you were talking about a game Boogie and Davis played that you didn't even watch.
The rest of your post could be summed up with the Juelz gif, you're saying a whole lot of nothing. Basically everyone who watches them says how trash their supporting unit is, meanwhile you in here trying to talk up Tony Allen.
How about you make a thread asking whether or not the duo works, we can make it a ban bet
surrounded by trash or not...2 top 5 players should be enough to contend. If they played under elite coaches the team would be a contender
No, Cousins and Lillard would not be better than Davis and Cousins, you keep talking like they aren't hitting threes and playing off one another like guards would. Just admit you don't really watch them play, and instead of looking at the roster around them you're trying to blame any failures on a pairing that for all intents and purposes is one of the most dominant duos we've seen in a long time.
Two players surrounded by trash, everyone but you can see that.
@Sccit thought they made the playoffs two years ago, he said Boogie made them worse than they had been the year before, but didn't know the Pelicans were 30-52 the season before the Boogie trade
He was also talking about the Warriors vs Pelicans game, then he admitted he didn't even watch it
He cannot shoot reliably, Stevens system requires a PG that can shoot the three and the midrange, it's why the Celtics wanted Kyrie so badly because he's deadly in the midrange. It’s hard for anyone who saw how close NO was to being a good team post trade last year to call them worse for it. Just the premise of having Boogie always around when AD has his inevitable injuries makes the franchise dozens of times better off. That GSW game was a peak vision of what they can do offensively if they have a third good scoring piece. Not sure why they cut Crawford, but he was a G that first half. Don’t appreciate the fact they kept chucking after HT, but at least there’s physical proof this team can eat when they have an offensive vision set, even if that is overly high tempo shot chucking@Sccit thought they made the playoffs two years ago, he said Boogie made them worse than they had been the year before, but didn't know the Pelicans were 30-52 the season before the Boogie trade

You didn't watch tonight's game, yet are saying they would have done better without Cousins in tonight's game
That sounds like a deflection, if TheColi is so bad why post here? Why not take your talents on the road since you think of yourself as Jack Ramsay, even though all them negs say the gen pop looks at you more like Skip Bayless.
Oh, so now it's one of them will be traded, now that they're over .500 you've moved the goalposts. I can just up your posts from the first thread about them when you were talking about how Cousins made them worse, now that they're trending upward it's gone onto they can't contend for a title and one of them will be traded. You originally said Cousins made them worse, if they make the playoffs with a positive record then what?
Jrue is not a Brad Stevens PG
Here's some more smiles to make you upset
is wrong because you yourself think you're the best.
You sound like Trump, everyone else who thinks you're
And the Pelicans were losing when Jrue Holiday's numbers were up, because he's not that great, but that fact goes over your head right? They have a losing record since trading for Jrue, so what will your excuse be if they make the playoffs?
The organizations goal was to get Davis some help, try and convince him to reup when it's time and build around the two players. I actually want to see Cousins traded to the Bucks, but that doesn't mean I don't think the duo is devastating, you're so deep into being wrong you're unwilling to say the duo works. You said they were worse with Cousins, when it looks like they could be better, making the playoffs would be better than they've been the last two seasons.
