Nobody even talks about Jrue Holiday when they’re talking about All-Star snubs. Given the “stacked” nature of the point guard position in the Western conference, it wasn’t even a snub; he’s fringe All-Star caliber, but there’s no way for him to make it in the West unless multiple dudes were to get injured. He should…

Jrue Holiday 28 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2018)
The thumbnail image is the face you make when you realize that DeMarcus Cousins isn’t coming back and you’ll be lucky to win ten more games the rest of the season. Truthfully, there’s still time for the Pelicans to figure this out. Cousins provides a lot of production that is hard to replace (it’d be…

Jrue Holiday is way more of an All-Star this year than he was the year he actually was an All-Star (friggin’ six years ago, where did the time go?), but he’s got pretty much a 0% chance of making it because Curry, Paul, Westbrook, and Lillard are all better than him. He’s averaging 19/5 on…

I don’t know what the deal is, but I don’t even really like Jrue Holiday. His brother Justin is so much cooler. Taller, better hair, looks like an emoji, he’s just got so many positive attributes. What does Jrue have. A laughable All-Star appearance, and the chance to be part of a big 2.5 with…

Jrue Holiday and E’Twaun Moore must have set some kind of tandem scoring/efficiency records tonight. 16 out of 21 for Holiday, 15 out of 20 for Moore, D’Antoni-ball was in full force tonight. Both of them cooled off a bit later in the game, for a while it looked like we were going to get…

Jrue Holiday’s contract is still insane, but if he keeps playing like he has been recently, it won’t be the worst one in the league. The Pelicans remain a big two with Davis and Cousins, but big three categorization is not too far off. 34 points for the second time in four games (typed out…

It’s taken a while, way longer than it should’ve, but Jrue Holiday is finally establishing himself as clearly the superior Holiday brother. Why it was ever a contest is a mystery, but Justin has been in a slump lately and Jrue is starting to play like the 25 million guy the Pelicans paid him to…

If the Pelicans want to be a playoff team, Jrue Holiday has to start playing like he’s part of a big three instead of like there’s a big two and he’s the third, vestigial and useless, wheel. That is my take on the matter. 34 points is a start, but it’s just that: a start….

I’ve lost track of how much money is “a lot” in the NBA these days, what with the wildly inflating cap space that teams have to play with. But 26 million for Jrue Holiday seems like it would qualify. Not only is he getting that this year, but he’s getting that for the next four…

One of the underrated storylines in the NBA here at the beginning of the year is that Justin Holiday is outscoring his way-better-at-basketball brother Jrue Holiday. Underrated as in I don’t think I’ve seen anyone mention it. They’ve mentioned that Jrue is kind of sucking and that Justin is kind of chucking, but they haven’t…
