[Game] Kings @ Pelicans - 3/31/17 - 5PT/8ET

[Tetsujin]

Okay, we get it Grant. Boogie doesn't want to come out. Jeebus.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

surprised Cousins didn't roll in protest after that was called a block. He knows Grant will go off as soon as he complains to a ref. Peaches is in his head.

Cousins has been on good behavior since the trade: he's only been assessed two technicals (one was rescinded), and IIRC both of them were of the cheapie, "double technical" variety.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Round one to the rookie, round two to the All-Star.

He's Heating Up!

That's a tough call against Cunningham: I didn't know that rookies got those calls, on the road.

 

[Kingz19]

I'm a big Boogie fan but I predict he's moved from NO before next years deadline. They just don't have very much talent outside of Boogie and Brow and they go into the offseason with not a lot of money to spend and likely to lose Holiday. No assets. No money. No depth.

While from our end..we probably didn't get enough but you could argue it was a pretty stupid move by NO to give up a player that in the future is more ideal compliment to Brow(Hield), what was on its way to being a high to mid lottery pick this year, and 11 million off the books(Tyreke)

It might be one of those deals where Kings regret trading Cousins and the Pelicans regret trading for him.

They just don't look very good right now. We look even worse.

 

[SLAB]

Lol PapaG getting schooled. Whoda thunk it?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Did Cousins just hit Papagiannis with the Harden special?

 

[SLAB]

Breaking News: I still love watching DeMarcus Cousins ball. Such a special player and I will always carry a little grudge.

But at least when Big Papa takes the bait he takes all the bait!

He's going to smash a small guy under his flying body on a pump fake soon.

It's funny that you mention that, because when people were quick to bring up how New Orleans got their first win post-trade without Cousins, and some actually seemed to want to make the argument that they were better without him, the unacknowledged part of that argument is that, when you look at the Pelicans' roster post-trade without Cousins, you might as well be saying that they're better without Hield, too.

 

[SLAB]

Goodness I love DeMarcus.

 

[SLAB]

LOOK DEMARCUS IS LATE INTO THE PLAY BECAUSE UE WAS ARGUINH!!!

 

[SLAB]

Why take him out, Alvin?

 

[Kingz19]

I wish these black uniforms were our standard road unis. Probably the nicest in the league.

Purple should be the alternate. I thought they would have come to their senses on this by now with all the discarded versions of purple uniforms but this insistence has been going on 14 years.

Not that they were bad outside of the "SACRAMENTO" ones but they are batting 1000 on black unis.

 

[Tetsujin]

Buddy apparently trying to show the Pelicans what they AREN'T missing tonight.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Team isn't playing well enough to inspire hope

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

What's really alarming to me about the Pelicans is how a team that has two of the ten best defensive rebounders in the league could be so ****ty at rebounding?

 

[SLAB]

Grant can go kick rocks, and DMC's jersey deserves to hang in the rafters the second after he retires.

With his rankings within the franchise it would be criminal if he wasn't..even if he retired after this season. Numbers don't lie.

DMC needs to throw some popcorn at Grant or something

Pelicans win by 45 and he giddily waves goodbye to Grant like he did to the Lakers bench that one game earlier this year.

Pelicans 58, Kings 38 at half. Cousins 17 pts 7 rebs, Davis 13 pts 7 rebs. Hield and McLemore each with 9 pts for Sac

 

[SLAB]

I actually like how DMC is playing within himself and just acting like a man in this game. It would be easy for him to take 45 shots and go nuts but he's looking for his teammates.

I miss Boogie, BTW.

[Kingsfan23]

Papa needs to show more

 

[VF21]

This is gonna get painful before too much longer.

 

[theclash4u5]

I wish somehow, someway, we could have had the team we have now + picks + Boogie

Putting a bunch of guys on the floor who haven't played much together and watching them throw the ball away 15 times will knock the hope out of you.
