Man AB can really sky for the ball this year.

my man bae

Better arc on that last made 3 by IT.  Some of his shots this season have been really flat, especially when he takes those pull-up 3's in transition.

[esel1000]

I don't get why people on this board are so quick to want to trade IT... since the trade deadline last season he's basically been this team's identity and he's playing at an all star level on a great contract. That's a piece you keep.

[KeepRondo]

sully has 10 rebounds already!

It's because Davis has been out by the three point line all night. Absolutely ridiculous that he's not down there in the paint dominating.

yeah. Great observations tonight. Davis should be getting the ball 10-15 feet out and facing up.

So let me throw this out there: Ryan Anderson is the best current player on the Pelicans. I don't say this because I think he's actually better than Davis, but I think right now Davis is being so misused in Gentry's system that Anderson is the better player. He's a walking mismatch, and he's better suited to play out on the perimeter than Davis. Outside of the alley-oop, did you see Davis down low at all the first half?

Nearly PERFECT first half out of Isaiah. ZERO turnovers and 19 points on 8/9 shooting. He's also playing impact defense. He's been frustrating at times, but overall, so good this year.

Agreed.

He's worth much more than Ainge gave up to get him.

If not for AB killing it recently, IT would be our best play by far.

And they don't even need to put him on the post. Just face him up 10-15 feet and let him put the ball on the floor or use his nice jumper from there.

Yeah that was a crazy steal... enough so that Ainge risked making the playoffs to make that move

There's a strong contingent of tankers here, hoping against hope that Danny will take a cue from the success of the Sixers, despite every indication that he won't.

[jpotter33]

Some pretty high praise for our boys on the Halftime show, especially our backcourt and our defense.

Lol especially considering the fact that he traded for IT knowing it'd make us better. No way he trades him now to tank
