Boogey paired with a top 10 player and after 2 games can't get any closer than losing by 16(they lost the first game by 30). Having a hard time seeing Boogey making the playoffs this year, ecen with a change of scenery.
Not entirely making excuses for him, but besides AD, they need some more help.
They did lose Evans in the deal too (and he was one of their better scorers).
I do think the Pelicans still miss the playoffs THIS year though.
Well, even the Sixers were winning games and staying close in loses to good teams like the Cavs with just Embiid. Cousins may not be what some of us thought he was. He may just put up stats but negatively impact winning.
NO has Anthony Davis, Cousins, Jrue Holliday as 3 legit scoring threats. Motiejunas, Frazier, and Hill are also decent options on offense. At least as good or better than what the Sixers have.
Well another part of it, at least for now, could be that they are getting used to the rotations and everything.
You don't just add someone, lose another few, then immediately get going.
Warriors are obviously a great team, but even with KD added, they weren't as dominating the first 10-15 games as they were still getting used to him. Now it's working for them.
I'll wait until the Pelicans play like 5 more games before passing judgement. For now though, yes you are right.
