Real talk, I agree with what you said about Westbrook. Said days ago that I was cool with never watching Westbrook play another game.

Bout the Pelicans, their whole style changed since Cousins went down. They were running the offense through Cousins and having him make plays which slowed the game down. Since he went down, they been letting Rondo run the offense and moving the ball around with a much more free flowing offense. I want to see if they can run this current system with Cousins before I say they are better without him.

If they revert back to how they played with Cousins, they are better without him, but if they can run this system without letting Cousins stop the ball and having him initiate the offense chances are they will be better.

I need a bigger sample size before I back the claim they are better without him.

I said yesterday that they should let him go and save the money
 
Westbrook having a terrible series.

Last year, when he went to the bench they were collapsing and allowing so many points and at the same time was scoring.

While Russ was the court, they were winning last year.
 
Calling my shot. Boogie for Otto sign and trade.

Wizards are graspers that boogie would return to form and they been bitching about Otto. Because his raw numbers aren’t all that.

And Otto would fit great at the 3 in N.O. The name may not be flashy enough for Pelis but he’d be a perfect fit down there.
 



Hopefully some of the shooting from Monday carries over to tonight and we can go ahead and close out this shit out

Hasn' hurt us this series but we definitely going to have to shoot better next round against Utah

Lol

they can't run the same offense with cousins because niko plays the 4 and ad plays the 5.

Niko is a better fit cuz of his shooting/defense + ad at the 5(where he should always play but he don't like playing the 5)

Cousins and Davis made it work well enough. The Pelicans outscored opponents by about 4.5 points per 100 possessions -- 134 points total -- in more than 1,000 minutes with both of them on the floor, per NBA.com. That was about the same as Utah's differential for the season.

They are already plus-196 with the Mirotic-Davis duo in 300 fewer minutes combined over the regular season and playoffs -- equivalent to about plus-14 points per 100 possessions, 5.5 points fatter than Houston's league-best overall mark.

Literally the most dominant team in the nba without cousins on the floor

Pelicans #1 in pace,#4 in defense without cousins they can't play like this with him(his to's and lack of defense,slower pace is why) 1.5 seasons already showed this,sample size is 40 games that's half a season. You said hot take like you knew what you were talking bout

Cousins cannot play as fast as New Orleans is playing now. He could not smother Damian Lillard pick-and-rolls the way Davis and Mirotic just did.

Mirotic is even occasionally guarding centers, including Jusuf Nurkic for the last three games of New Orleans' humiliation of Portland, so that Davis can keep calling himself a power forward if he likes. (Kevin Garnett isn't 7 feet tall, either.)

All this has presented New Orleans with what looks like an obvious roadmap: Let Cousins walk, re-sign Mirotic to a more reasonable number after next season, and use draft picks and the midlevel exception to stock the roster with wings. With so many teams capped out, the midlevel is powerful again. It could net Danny Green or Will Barton this summer, and perhaps an equivalent player in the next one. Then, cycle through minimum-salary centers who can bang, and sop up minutes.
