Around the NBA: Feb. 2017

[PDXFonz]

Davis and Cousins are hardly dominating Nene and Anderson.

I'd expect them to control the paint and get every board. But in the first 6 mins the Rockets are out rebounding the Pels 5-3

 

[PDXFonz]

Cousins looks like he wants this to be a fit and is making all the right plays though. I think they will figure everything out and be a dominant force.

 

[PDXFonz]

Cousins would have been a fantastic fit for our system. I just think the Damon Stoudamire rule applies and there is no way that Cousins wants to play here. Neil knowing this probably showed no interest in trading for the big man. I think Cousins will stay in NO, and those theories about CP3 returning to the Pelicans make a lot of sense.

 

[PDXFonz]

Pels are so weak at the 2-3 now though. They would probably love to have Harkless or Aminu. They don't have anything we want though.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Definitely want to watch a bit of that NO/HOU game.

no, no you don't. Houston killing them.

 

[PDXFonz]

Lou Williams is a great fit in HOU

 

[PDXFonz]

I bet the Kings beat the Nuggets tonight.

 

[PDXFonz]

Cousins still up to his same BS. Missing plays because he's upset over a call on the other end and extremely slow to get back.

 

[PDXFonz]

That's the second time Cousins has scored an own basket tonight. Maybe someone should remind him that he is indeed a Pelican.

 

[PDXFonz]

Mase coming off the bench tonight for DEN.

 

[PDXFonz]

Kings aren't starting Caulie-Stein or Hield...

 

[riverman]

Mason still not in yet halfway through the first qtr...gotta suck for him to take a bench role

 

[PDXFonz]

Steph Curry is playing for the Kings tonight

Laugh all you want, but he's 4-5 for 10 pts in 7 minutes with a +/- of +11, and the Kings are winning by 8.

I wasn't being entirely sarcastic. He's looked great finishing tonight, kind of like Tyreke in his early years in SAC.

 

[PDXFonz]

I guess Denver traded us a first round pick because they would rather not play Plumlee than not play Nurkic...

 

[riverman]

I have to say though that when Mason was playing, the Kings made layup after layup after layup

I was surprised that Skal out rebounded him on that put back. Mase didn't even try to get off the ground.

 

[PDXFonz]

Everyone seems to be much happier in SAC without Cousins there. It's like they can have fun playing basketball again.

Yep. Cousins is cancer.

 

[riverman]

I'm much happier after the win tonight and the endgame with Nurkic...big difference..I think we got a hell of a steal

 

[KingSpeed]

Clippers shooting same as Warriors and are being outrebounded by Warriors but lead by 14.

 

[trailblazer18]

WCS with 19pts already at half.

 

[PDXFonz]

Why is Anthony Toliver getting any minutes when you have Skal and Caulie-Stein?

Who knows?

 

[PDXFonz]

Golden one center looks really nice. Gotta be the nicest arena in the league.

I agree. He's a stud so far.

 

[B-Roy]

I'm reading Nuggets forums and they're all trashing Plumlee and his defense wondering why they traded Nurkic for him.

 

[Boob-No-More]

When did NOP start wearing purple uniforms, or did they do that just to make Cousins feel comfortable to help ease his transition.

BNM

Plumlee has limitations, but he plays his fucking ass off every minute he's on the court. He deserves better than that.
