One thing Boogie Taught Us

AD is simply a very good complimentary player. AD hides in the 4th. Boogie has the killer instinct. Boogie is the star of this team. I hoped that AD would learn from Boogie. It’s evident from the last two games that he has not.

I agree

was pondering what this team would like like if it were AD that tore the Achilles during the game
i hate to say it but i think you're right

Boogie wants the ball in the 4th, AD doesn’t

It feels wrong and reactionary to think this way but I kind of agree. AD refuses to step up. He's too laid back and too chill. AD obviously has the talent to be the guy and have that killer instinct, but he doesn't show it. Jrue shows it and it electrifies the team (i.e. Jrue's defense against Chicago). But Boogie is the heart of this team and Dell better do all he can to bring him back. Because unless there's a change in AD, this team isn't going anywhere without Boogie

This isn’t an anomaly. This is who he is. He’s a great player but he doesn’t have the ability to close out a game on a regular basis. He’s not a closer.

quote:I agree with you that Jrue was an absolute animal defensively in that game and in the past month, in general. With that said, he didnt have that killer instinct at any point in New Orleans until about 2 months(ish) ago when he started to play up to his contract. Jrue was terrible the first month of basketball. But he has been solid, no knock on him.

Perfect match

I guess none of y'all ever watched the Pelicans BEFORE Gentry was the coach. Anthony Davis was an absolute killer at 21-22 years old and stupid clutch at the end of games. 2 monsterous performances against San Antonio (1st one game winner, 2nd one carried us when it got stale towards the end and got us the 8th seed). Took over against the Bucks dropping 43 on 74% and scoring in double digits during the 4th. Carried us to victory against the Warriors when they said pregame "This is a scrimmage for us"..Oh let me not forget the monsterous performance against OKC including a 37 foot double clutch 3 ball to win the fricking game. Is it AD or Gentry? Its obviously Gentry cus he always draws bullshite up for a Holiday iso at the end of games that he never finishes. AD is a coachable young SuperStar whos putting up numbers that ONLY Kareem up WHILE HIS TALENT ISN'T BEING MAXIMIZED!!!!!!! He needs a better coach. Sign Cousins long term and can Gentry 5 minutes after the ink dries.

Gentry aint perfect by any means but...
Davis averages the same number of shots (~2) and has almost exactly the same FG% (60%) in CLUTCH situations this year as he did in 14/15.
Last year he averaged almost twice as many shots than in those 2 years and hit them at 43%.

AD is my favorite player and I hate to say it, but I agree. He doesn't have the killer instinct and have the want to take over games like Boogie does, or like Jrue has done lately.
Posted on 1/31/18 at 9:08 am to BigPerm30
Yal are reactionary as hell. Myself included, but seriously.
AD has looked this way since the turn of the year, he's looked tired and not putting a lot of juice on the dunks. Maybe its being weary and tired playing 36MPG at this pace. Maybe its trying not to overexert himself to get injured.
But either way, we know one thing for sure. Boogie is needed on this team. We're a team with no depth and was top heavy.

Yeah, like someone else said, they're a perfect match. Fire and Ice. Even if Boogie loses a step he's still going to be a big enough threat to get other guys open shots and he's still going to be a good enough passer for those beautiful unstoppable alley oops.
Posted on 1/31/18 at 10:51 am to TPecoraro23
I just don’t think you can blame AD’s reticence on Gentry. At some point, AD has to self- motivate.

I'm not super educated in the basketball world, but this just makes too much sense to me. How in the world can the FO or ownership not see that Gentry is not a good coach? I know we like to joke about Benson being old and senile, but surely someone like Loomis can see this? Even Demps? What am I missing here?

Boogie wants the ball every possession with little regard for much else. He goes rouge often, resulting in TOs or forced shots that arent there. But hey, he's aggressive and wants the ball! Maybe if he picked his spots better like AD, everyone would be better for it.
"Taking over a game" in today's NBA in reserved for perimeter players who play with the ball in their hand. Guys like AD or Boogie trying to take over and force shite ends badly. See AD in GS playoff series and boogie half of his possessions

Sounds a lot like Russ vs KD
Posted on 1/31/18 at 3:19 pm to PortCityTiger24
Except KD is terrible in the clutch.
Went ICE fricking cold in 3 straight 4th quarter meltdowns against GS once OKC took a 3-1 lead in that series. Still pisses me off. Q
