Game Day: Suns (18-43) @ Pelicans (33-26), Mon 2/26/18

[The Bobster]

Davis in February - 34.0 points, 12.2 rebounds

[EDC]

Pacers on a 10-2 run to get back into the game.

[Split T]

Davis should get some MVP consideration if he keeps the Pelicans in the playoffs. I wouldn't vote him over Harden, but I'd put him 2nd

[Split T]

Mavs with the first victory by a tanking team over a non tanking team since the all star break. (Nets also won, but beat fellow tankers Chicago.)

[Charlie Smithy!]

So those are my "nights off" hehe.

Mori will soon learn there is no such thing anymore.

Marty, to his wife:

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines..."

[Superbone]

Also noticed that Elfrid gets smacked in the eyes with his own hair every time he jumps. WHY DO YOU HAVE THAT HAIR!?!?

I noticed tonight that he shoots FTs to the side of his head. BECAUSE OF THE HAIR!!!

Did you read that article? He's not going to cut it until his high school wins the championship.

Get Sean Miller there, STAT.

We've got a big game against the Grizzlies on Wednesday. Both with 10 game losing streaks on the line

And a record-breaking entire month with no wins on the line.

Mavs with the first victory by a tanking team over a non tanking team since the all star break. (Nets also won, but beat fellow tankers Chicago.)

It's absolutely surreal to feel that we have to lose every single game after the allstar break, because one win could raise us 6 or 8 spots in the standing. We are looking at closing the season with a 30 game losing streak. Gross.

8/10

Len ejected and runs through the tunnel. Keep going pal. Run to whatever team wants to waste money on you this summer!

*runs to Suns bench

Suns executive: We'll give you 10 million!

Other Suns executive: WE'LL PAY YOU 15 MILLION DOLLARSSSSSSS!!!!

Hilarious because it's so, so, so, very true....

[Mori Chu]

Anthony Davis is having a heck of a season here. If he really does decide that he wants out of New Orleans, teams should do absolutely everything to get him.

[specialsauce]

I would throw every single pick we currently have for him.

Our 2018, Miami 2018 + Milwaukee first + Chriss + Warren.

It’s not even close. I would just love him or Kawhi next to Booker. Dreaming is free

[Split T]

I'd also give up anything on this team, except Booker, for Davis. And the only reason I wouldn't trade Booker is we'd just be replicating the Pelicans roster that AD wanted out from.

[O_Gardino]

Yeah, that's why I keep telling myself that he's going to ask to be traded. It's fun to dream.

[In2ition]

Remember when INF was adamant that Davis would never be a #1 option guy?

[In2ition]

I'm watching this game again and these refs are ridiculously bad.

[In2ition]

Booker's defense and the rest of the team's attention to detail on the offensive end with 3 minutes left was really bad. Bad closeouts, bad box outs, bad everything, just not wanting to win.

[Mori Chu]

Unrealistic hypothetical trade question: Would you trade Booker straight up for AD? Like, no picks, no other players, pretend the salaries worked with the cap. Would you swap them?

I *love* Booker, but yes, I would. I think ultimately you can find another SG more easily than a generational big man. AD is probably one of the top 5 players in the league for the next decade. Booker may get to that level or close to it, but AD is a sure thing, a 100% unicorn.

(Kyrie trade haters, this is your chance to jump in and say that you wouldn't trade for Davis because you're scared that he'd leave us in 2 years, or whatever twisted logic you would like to offer.)

[specialsauce]

AD is 3 years older and has questions about durability, so I wouldn't. Plus I just love Booker.
