Tag: Jrue Holiday

Jrue Holiday had a slow start to the season, dropping a sick 4/4 line in 38 minutes in the opening game of the season, but he’s slowly been working his way back to form, and his 29/7 on just seventeen shots is one of the meatiest, most satisfying point guard performances of the nascent NBA…

In the midst of all these teams imploding, I would’ve liked to see the Pelicans beat the Raptors tonight. Man, I beat the Raptors would’ve imploded so hard. Team-only meetings with Kyle Lowry not invited, angry quotes to the press, cloaks and daggers involving separate posses in the front office, riots in the streets of…

If anyone who knows more about college ball than I do (which should be anyone who has watched even a second of an NCAA game) could tell me how worried I should be about Aaron Holiday making the NBA, that would be great. And don’t get it wrong this time. A bunch of people told…

The Pelicans are 19-28 after they beat the Spurs last night. Not a good record, but still good enough to somehow be in the playoff hunt in the West because of the insane dropoff after the seventh-seeded Grizzlies. But when you only count the games in which Jrue Holiday plays, the Pelicans are 17-15. That’s…

Where’s Tim Frazier? I want Tim Frazier. I don’t care if he didn’t lead his team to wins. He was one of my favorite role-players in the league, and now he doesn’t get to play at all. Jrue Holiday, the selfish one, has taken all his minutes and more, and for what? So the Pellies…

Usually I agree with Adam Silver’s decisions. In general I support him as commissioner. But he really dropped the ball on this one. Simply put, the Christmas game schedule is a travesty. How could you not put a Pelicans vs. Knicks game on there? If you’re too dense to figure it out, I’m talking about…

I’m getting tired of doing all these videos with all these assists in them. Only rarely are more than 2 or 3 of the assists worthy of being highlighted. The rest are just “pass the ball to a guy who shoots a jumper” or “pass the ball to a guy who dribbles a few times,…

What the hell kind of name is Jrue, anyway? Just something that somebody (probably the mother, you know how they can be) just made up for fun? I can’t find any reference to any other “Jrue”s. Is Holiday the only one? That would be kind of cool, but not really, because it’s mostly lame, because…

That’s it. I’m done. The NBA is under the thumb of a vast conspiracy that reaches deeper than feared. I can hardly stand to support this rigged league any longer. For those who missed it the first time: Jrue Holiday returning to the Pelicans led to one of their few wins of the season. Maybe,…

I’m not much for conspiracy theories. A bunch of un-factchecked nonsense supported by believers who mindlessly gulp down any swill that is forced down their throats. A product of a strange new era of media consumption. But some things are just too coincidental. Jrue Holiday comes back after a host of injury and family issues,…
