Of course we beat the Rockets tonight, are 7-1 in our last 8, and look like the 3rd best team in the Western Conference, & then Cousins gets an achilles injury. This team is cursed.
That can be a career destroyer if it's bad, tbh.
This game was already BS with the amount of FTs the Rockets were getting and then this . It's whatever at this point.
Just a huge blow for a small market team. It’s hard for Spurs fans to understand, because they are the exception; not the rule. The Pels had a chance to win a series this season & put a scare into a team in the 2nd round. That kind of success could have drawn a big name to come play with AD & Cousins next year. It’s a trickle down effect. Pels are 1 & done now, Cousins won’t re-sign, AD will eventually want out due to lack of team success, and the team will have to start from scratch. The margin of error for a franchise that will always be 2nd fiddle to the city’s NFL team is tiny. This was their chance. It’s gone now.
Your fat cirrhotic re ed ass whining with all them tears
Horrible for the Pels, but http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yaqdxvmp
The Achilles didn't work out so well for the Lakers last time, but now you're trying to sign up for Round 2?
Spurs aren't exempt from it anymore. They were blessed with Tim for 19 years, but now they're on the verge of descending into the abyss as well. The NBA, despite the great ratings now, is close to imploding as well with all these super teams forming.
Awful news, prayers up for boogie.
Damn, now the man-lesbian towers apologists gonna have an excuse.
Spurs are not immune to anything now that Kawhi is acting crazy.
Sucks man...injuries are the make or break of the championship formula
We know who the Warriors are facing in the first round now.
Such a shame - if he had made that free throw, this never would've happened. And up 4, he really didn't need to go for it...but can't fault him for hustling.
Best player on the Pelicans done for the year
That truly does suck. I posted in the Spurs forum yesterday/last night that I thought the Pelicans front court would absolutely wreck the Spurs in the playoffs and could upset not just the Spurs (even if fully healthy), but also other teams too. Five minutes later I read in another thread that Cousins got that horrific injury. Wow. That is terrible news.
Was Cousins talking about coming back next season? Was there any kind of commitment from him? If he was planning on leaving, you think Davis will want out?
sad
yes very sad and it sux for him to happen before he was extended by Nola or signed elsewhere.
I was on record saying i didnt want him for Lakers but he was starting to change my mind ...(only LeBron is a sure yes to me but highly doubtful he comes...)
i say this injury makes anyone even nola crazy to sign him to a max deal ...unless somehow, its to convince Davis to stay...
cousins already cant defend pnr on the perimeter (great at taking a charge tho) or rim protect ...my guess he eill be even worse at it now ...
and on offense though he doesnt play explosively his agility
at his size is what made him special and it will suffer...
i feel for him and Nola fans ...
they are not getting in the play offs.
If only it was Durant
Cousins has been very good defensively this season. He's easily the Pels best defender protecting the rim, blocking shots, and rebounding. His value offensively takes a hit because he settles for too many threes and turns the ball over too much. His loss will kill the Pels defensively which is already bad. The Pels offense won't suffer as much because AD and Jrue are much more efficient offensively than Boogie.
I heard people say he was the Pelicans best player this season? I haven't watched any of their games, but I would have thought that would still be Davis. Now that you mention he was playing well on defense, I can see why people said he was your best overall player. Not sure if you agree with that, though?
Davis is easily the Pels best player. Cousins has been better defensively but Davis has been clearly much better offensively since he doesn't turn the ball over nearly as much and shoots at a much higher percentage. It's laughable to see anyone think Cousins is better. Cousins is too careless on offense. Settles for way too many perimeter shots and routinely has games of 5+ turnovers. You won't see those things from Davis who's a true franchise player. Only an AlexJones would think Cousins especially when he recently started a thread asking if Davis was on the decline
