Hey guys, I wrote a rather long break down of the Pels-Thunder 4th q. I put a bit of my heart and soul into and I'll appreciate if you guys give it a look and leave some feed back.

Very nice breakdown. This go to show multiple decisions by Monty and drawn up plays that worked. It also shows the potential on the defensive end by us.
I'd like to know exact what lead to Tyreke at the end of the game. I understand him having the ball, Jrue was locked in on defense and was expending his energy there. I'm just wondering if Monty was letting Tyreke be Tyreke and expecting put backs (we had 3 bigs in to clean up the glass) or if Tyreke was seeing something and turning down play calls.
Jrue's defense, Monty inbound plays, and going 3 big won the game for us. Really impressive breakdown. -

Kumar, this is exceptional.
When re-visiting those plays following those timeouts, it's obvious that Monty has more of a handle on offensive playcalling than I first thought. While AD was the primary recipient of Jrue's assists, it's clear that Jrue has multiple options (could spot both Rivers and RA open for three following the PnR) out of these sets.
Evans as the primary ballhandler down the stretch is a head-scratcher. My only guess is that, because Jrue must save his energy for D, Tyreke is charged with handling the offensive load. We call it poor bball IQ and selfishness, but honestly, he's hit shots like that in the past (game-winner against Portland, for instance), and he was pretty close to making that banker. Nevertheless, my biggest criticism is Monty calling these plays (which, in some iteration of their design, must mean Evans having the choice of waving off AD's screen) despite FORCING the ball to AD.
Overall, great breakdown my friend. Shame to those who choose not to read based on its length. -

Great read kumar, thank you. Reke's tunnel vision is a problem. Truth be told, when I learned that reke to the lineup in the blazers game, I knew pelicans would have a rough night and I was right
