Anthony Davis gets two bad calls in under 15 seconds. AD goes berserk and rushes at the ref. Demarcus Cousins has to stop him from first-degree murder
[removed]
boogie was never the same after that. 😞
ya it’s sad when they go injury young like that
when they go? WHEN THEY GO?
20 games on the Pels and not a peep
I can’t have this conversation again
Refs being bad? That’s a stereotype, and it’s offensive!
You know Quasimodo predicted all of this.
Neither were the Pelicans
Cousins was playing probably the best ball of his career during that stretch smh
Idk he was putting up some massive numbers with the Kings. I know because he was on my fantasy team.
Nah Pels Cousins was his stats peak. 25/13/5 with 1.6 steals and 1.6 blocks per game, plus over 2 threes a game.
Would’ve been an all-time fantasy season if it weren’t for injuries.
yeah he was always a beast. I just remember him having like a 40 point triple double and crazy stocks a game or 2 before the injury
>Quick reminder that this Pelicans team was on a 60 win pace before Boogie’s Achilles injury
What? They were 27-21 (46 win pace) the night Boogie tore his Achilles
Yeah I have no idea where that came from lol, Boogie and AD were both thriving but the depth still kind of sucked, and they were being run into the ground in terms of minutes. I remember the team having a ton of potential against the Warriors but were still good to middle of the pack as a playoff team.
They were going toe to toe with the Rockets that night though. And I think we could have had Mirotic with Boogie healthy.
On pace for 61 if you’re just looking at the loss column. (Assumes they win all remaining games)
Yeah, maybe they meant they were on that pace extrapolated to a full season right before he got injured since they had gone 7-2 (or 6-2) leading up to that game.
It’s a stretch; the alternative is they are just regurgitating something unchecked or misremembering details (or making stuff up).
I think they might be mistakenly parroting some version of the AD/Boogie/Mirotic stat.
I think prior to Boogie tearing his Achilles, when those three all played, the team was something like 7-1 or 8-2.
Jrue and AD held the KD Warriors to their lowest ortg in any series.
It’s absolutely a fun what if scenario. That team was good, really good…and fun to watch. The twin towers that could have been.
Boogie was dope. He was peak with AD. Feels bad, man.
You’re straight up making shit upÂ
This was my favorite team to play on 2k
Have we seen two big men be put together like this since?
Ihart and Chet? lol
Same concept but different…
I know KAT and Gobert isn’t really the same thing, but they are both big and paid a lot
Those injuries literally changed to course of NBA history. I do think it was a terrible matchup for golden state and if they bounce that team nba history is changed forever. Does Lebron leave for LA? You know AD doesn’t. Does Klay or Dray get traded? Fallout would be massive.
Completely untrue, they went on a run when they got mirotic from the bulls and had Rondo completely take the reigns of the offense instead of splitting with cousins. All after boogie got hurt
I absolutely loved watching that team play. So sad.
I genuinely plan on telling my kids about this team. Injuries are heartbreaking.
Omg i forgot they both had Rondo and Jrue kn that team. I hate injuries so much
You know it’s bad if Cousins has to be the voice of reason
File it under Takes One To Know One
Hitting a ref would get a nasty suspension
God I miss that glorious frakenstein monster team.
Ridiculous crazy team. If they didn’t have injuries I could see them being a real problem in the west.
They just needed a SF. They had E’Twaun Moore who was like 6’3” playing there and nobody behind him.
E’Twuan Moore is the only 42% 3 point shooter that I expect every 3 to miss
The Solomon Hill erasure
That was several years of no decent SF crazy
Iirc, they ended up paying a bunch of money for like 3 mediocre wings. A baffling decision at the time.
Me too..
Without injuries they make some noise. They were so good the short time they were healthy
They were fun but I wouldn’t call them good
Amen. One of my all-time favorite teams to watch.
AD was a bad man, hope he can get healthy again
he moves totally different now. doubt he is spry enough to chase a ref with that much vigor these days
He is noticeably much bigger now than in this clip, he bulked up and now doesn’t move the same.
We call that getting older
You don’t tend to see people get healthier and more athletic with age
Barry Bonds did.
His head also doubled in size for no obvious reason. *
Just excirsied his brain more.Â
I know you’re joking …but he most certainly didn’t. He bulked up like AD and just focused on hitting the cover off the ball. He was such an insanely talented athletic player tho before he got on the juice
Unfortunately, he’ll never be this mobile or vigorous ever again.
Yeah, would like to just see him playing in important games again. Feel like he’s been underrated because of his health which is obviously a real factor, but when he’s at his best he’s a top ten player in the league
Man I forgot they played together. Fun duo
Not just fun. Productive. What could have been
Replays would be nice. None of these look particularly egregious without replay. Vertical contest by KAT and looks like Davis got wrist before ball.
Most often with clips like this, we are seeing the 7th and 8th things that got the player upset, its rare that it’s a single play or two plays that set someone off.
I agree. Not sure why AD is throwing a tantrum here.
2nd degree murder because it would intentional but not premeditated. It would be considered a crime of passion.
The two best bugs at there position would’ve been a fun playoff matchup against the warriors if boogie never got hurt
Giant grasshopper and Hercules beetle
Fuck sakes I was wondering why you commented about bug damn misclick gonna keep it in though
Rhino beetle for days bro tf u smoking??
Hercules beetle is a species of rhinoceros beetle.
Well look at mister fancy pants entomologist college boy here
Butterfree to setup the status effects and Scyther to finish them offÂ
Okay but KAT didn’t even foul him on the first one.
you contrarians are exhausting. you can’t see from the angle shown but the announcer clearly says “they’re coming under him and I agree” meaning kat is contesting but pushing into AD’s landing zone , which is a foul (now flagrant with rule updates)
why do you think a player would be getting heated for a non-call??
I was at this game and convinced a few coworker to go and then AD got booted in 15 seconds.
Tought times.
Not often you see KAT on the beneficial side of a bad whistle
I mean the first one wasn’t a foul and the second one was. What’s he complaining about?
Yes UNBELIEVABLE how bad these refs are with literally no consequences for bad calls.
It’s a good thing Cousins was there. AD would’ve hurt himself and been out 8 weeks.
What a formidable front court they were. Good lord
The nba is entirely unwatchable.
Bad bait
Dude better be careful, he could roll an ankle and miss 6 weeks walking at the ref like that!
He won a championship.Â
When was Houston’s last championship?
