lou williams fits well with houston so far

Yeah, that's a good fit for Houston.

Boogie doing the "fall over really slowly so I dont have to run back on defense"

Lazy. Simply lazy.

Boogie is just getting abused out there and the refs letting it happen

The switch onto Harden at the 3 point line where he couldn';t be bothered even putting his hand up to look like he was making an effort is classic aswell. Horrible habits.

Nene was just baiting him for that technical and he almost got it a few times.

It's only one game, but if Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins don't work together, Al Horford and DeMarcus Cousins certainly wouldn't have.

This should come as a surprise to nobody. I equated it to the NY/Chicago big signings/trades before this season.

Sure, Cousins has a lot of talent...a LOT, but now being in the spotlight will either make or break him. He has a real opportunity here. Hopefully for his sake he doesn't totally blow it.

I am, they're getting slaughtered but that's expected. The pelicans are still many pieces away from being truly dangerous. For one they're gonna need better guards tbh, but I honestly feel that will come.

lou williams hot hands, houston got a great sixth man. him and eric gordon opens the floor a lot for james harden

[jdz101]

The guy has some horrible habits that he needs to shake immediately if he wants to be a centrepiece on a contending team.

Well you also have to factor in our guards and wings that are superior to the Pelicans.  Moore and Hill wouldn't start on most teams as they do there.

Defensively they were definitely a questionable fit. I don't see any way Al and Boogie couldn't work together offensively, though. They're two of the better playmakers and passers in the league from the big position, probably top 4 or 5 alongside Griffin and Gasol. And with both of them extending their range, I don't see any way we wouldn't have been even more elite offensively with them.

A lot of that is going to depend upon how Gentry uses them, too. From what I've watched so far tonight, he looked clueless how to pair them together out there, which isn't really unexpected given its their first game together. He hardly ever attacked the mismatches on the bigs, and he's seemingly really hurt Davis offensively with making him so perimeter-oriented.

Brad does an excellent job with exploiting mismatches offensively, especially on the post-up, so I can't imagine that he wouldn't have them humming offensively. But certainly defensively they could've presented a problem together.
