    I hope EGo can find his stroke again. Dude is in a funk. Maybe Lou's shooting will inspire him. Once he gets back on LOOK OUT!

    I ran the numbers on that when he had 4 assists and 4 blocks.

    If he got the 20-10-5-5-5, it would be the first one ever in less than 40 minutes.
    It has only been done 3 times in regulation, all by Hakeem. It has been done 4 more times, but each required overtime.

    Lou Williams is top 10 in the NBA when it comes to filling up the points, he can go off any time and create on his own. Harden is going to seriously relax on many nights from here.

    If this is boring to Calvin, would he get so bored and just watch other NBA games if Harden also scores 25 to 30?

    epic performance. should be a sign of good things to come. hopefully we can get bogut although it seems unlikely now that GS is in the mix...

    pelicans will be much better in a couple games. they looked really out of sorts. happens when you make a big trade like that

    Put up big stats, lose game.
    Put up big stats, losing team.
    Losers stay losing?

    Windhorst looks like he overdosed at the buffet table.

    Rockets 129 points total and James Harden just scored just 13

    No single person could have predicted this happening

    I was only able to catch the 4th Q... all this offensive power this team has now, I can see the overall defense improving. It has already been on an upward trend since the start of the season.

    Morey has really set this team to compete with GSW.

    Outside the two super bigs, the rest of Pels are meow. Where were they thinking keeping so many bigs and not having enough outside guys. What a waste to have Asik on the pine. We could use him by giving them something.

    Ego can take a page from what harden did tonight . With Lou in the fold there is less pressure on Eric to be the lockdown shooter. Eric has other skills , he's a great defender if he's giving effort ... And with the pressure off him on offense , he may be able to play better all around.

    Don't forget to mention Vlade's great assist to the Pelicans management.

    Maybe. Who cares? Eric already got a trophy this year and he was unimpressed.

    The last time this franchise got a trophy that meant anything besides a pat on the back everyone was laughing and doused in champagne.

    I'd rather see Ego do that then say all the right things and smile for the cameras.
