When it comes to finding and sustaining success for the New Orleans Pelicans, big man DeMarcus Cousins has the formula.

Simply find consistency and accept being a ‘boring’ team.

“Consistency,” Cousins said when asked about what the team needs to do to improve, according to William Guillory of the Times-Picayune.

“We might play the right way three games, then play the wrong way four games. Just finding that consistency, being OK with being a boring team that plays the right way every night. I think it’s just consistency. That’s our biggest struggle.”

The Pelicans are currently 18-18, which is good enough for the 8th spot in the Western Conference.

Cousins is certainly doing his part, is averaging 26.2 points, 12.5 rebounds and a career-high 5.2 assists per game this year.
