Cousins left in 2010, a year before Davis got there.
Weren't they teammates in college?
Damn #chemistry

9 games behind the 7 with 28 games left? No way. GS getting that 1st round
Regardless, the Dubs are getting a tough matchup in the first round. They prolly still win in 5 but it's better than the ing Nuggets.
Pels only 2.5 back of the 8, 9 back of the 7. So basically guaranteed 8 seed. Poor nuggets
The Nuggets have had the second best offense since they committed to Jokic. They probably should be competing for the 7th seed right now instead of 8th had they started at the beginning of the season and Jokic wasnt injured.
I don't think its going to be easy to catch the Nuggets.
I suspect the Thunder end up with 44 wins, Nugget 40...
You're probably happy Cousins isn't unpacking his on your front lawn, eh Cub? Phoenix radio would be talking into your ear for weeks.
Not a great deal for the Kings in a vacuum; but they needed to move on sooner rather than later.
Pelicans are 23-34
Twin Towers are back... so who's the PF and who's the center? Also who are the other 3 guys in their starting lineup?
Reminds me of the 2006 Kings & the 2007 Warriors, tbh. Make a blockbuster trade mid-season, come all the way back from the cellar to the 8 seed & pose serious threat to top seed in the playoffs.Pels only 2.5 back of the 8, 9 back of the 7. So basically guaranteed 8 seed. Poor nuggets
Great for New Orleans, obviously, but I doubt they make the playoffs. It'll be interesting to see how Davis and Cousins fit together on and off the court. Arguably the two best bigs in the league sharing a team, I guess their personal stats are gonna take hits, right?
Obviously. Who else are you considering? They're two of the top 10 players in the league regardless of position...a little redundant, as others have pointed out, but both are dynamic enough to make it work.
I assume it will be Cousins at C and Davis at PF, simply because Cousins is heavier and stronger. But honestly, it's a mostly arbitrary distinction in the modern NBA. Now there are simply "bigs," and every big wants to have guard skills. The traditional center is all but dead. Hence why the All-star game dropped the position entirely, instead opting for a frontcourt/backcourt dichotomy.
Not sure if they'll make the playoffs, but it'd be a fascinating matchup with GS if they did. All perimeter vs. all frontcourt.
Anybody else thinks that while it's a no-brainer for NOLA, this experiment can backfire terribly, tbh? Boogie was supposed to elevate the Kangs years ago, they've been nothing but trash, and AD, while putting up the numbers, was also leading NOLA straight to another lottery...
Yep. Now it'll be a one day flat eared tell off (Tuesday). Then they'll continue to pump up Bledsoe so somebody will take him off their hands.
what the ................
Twin Powers for the Pelicans, hey....
hmmmm, interesting.......
warriors-pelicans conference finals?.......not so fast. Has boogie ever shown that he can play
with anyone and be a consistent winner. Will he stay for the next contract? As the Spurs have
shown that team chemistry counts more than anything......what happens when Boogie has to
sit a game for too many technicals? What about the pouting? Then the most important
thing,there is the Spurs , Houston and Memphis they have to get past. Good luck with that.........
Pelicans versus the Warriors in the first round could be epic, hahahahahaha
wait till Cousins goes up against Draymond, wow
If they can trade for a Tony Allen-like perimeter defender who can harass and suffocate Eliancito, thus not allowing him any breathing room to get off his jumpers, they can actually win the series (). The object is, of course, to force feed the paint and spam the Holiday/AD/Boogie double screen such that the Dublets will be forced to pick their poison and give up a good shot or layup every time. Against a team like Golden State you can ill-afford to squander any possessions on isoball and poor shots so the focus will be shot selection and maximizing each offensive possession.
This is great talent wise for the Pels, getting a top 10 player, but a massive gamble at the same time. Cousins unfortunately, while frowned upon as being a cancer, crazy, etc may very well have a mental disorder which won't just go away by changing teams.
He's a rich man's Rasheed Wallace. Pretty much the exact same game except better... and same problems.
That's possible, Wallace was still crazy when he went to Detroit, but despite his constant beef with the refs, he was able to lock in defensively most games. Im still not sure Rasheed was in the same headspace as Cousins.
Cousins is a force on defense in the paint when he puts his mind to it. He's got the ability for sure.
