    There is a good reason why the league has moved away from perimeter players taking the long two.
    Kobe didnt get the memo

    By the looks of box score....we need to limit the fouls that put them to the FT line

    My theory is... I'd rather take 20 shots from 40-90% range than take 20 shots from 20-35% range. The 3 has its place in the game but young players have basically stopped practicing closer shots. Take Babbitt. He can make a 25 footer but can't hit a 15 footer. That's crazy to me
    The most overused words on Pelicansreport.com. Wrongly, I might add.

    ELITE - (often used with a plural verb) the choice or best of anything considered collectively, as of a group or class of persons.

    GREAT - notable; remarkable; exceptionally outstanding

    These words should not be used lightly

    Austin Rivers needs more minutes. Lately we've been much better with him on the court

    Well its not like every long two is a bad shot. Though most of Kobe's shots this year have been just that haha.

    Rivers, Reke, Jrue all with 5 dimes at half time. Starters minus AD all sitting at 1-4 FG and 0 FTA EACH haha christ almighty.

    edit: the way the ball is moving around, and even AD trying to play hot potato seems like someone lit a fire under the players after the last performance for ball movement.

    Except that isn't really accurate. League wide 3 pointers go in about 35% of the time while long twos go in roughly 37% of the time. And due to the velocity of three pointers they are offensive rebounded at a slightly higher clip then the long two over the long term - statistically speaking.

    That doesnt mean a guy like Davis who is knocking down a ridiculous 58% of his catch and shoot mid range shots should stop taking them. It just means that having a guy that can step out a couple feet and knock down a 3 pointer has a lot more value then a guy that can only max out at the long two. And int terms of a game wide plan I would prefer my perimeter players taking an equally open 3 point shot then a long two. And work toward open 3 pointers instead of an open long two.

    Like I said...Rivers passing is way better than him trying to be the scorer. He can break down the defense...take advantage of it.

    Bad shot by Tyreke but he made it lol.

  17. #117
    Speaking of long twos, Evans comes out and knocks down two of my least favorite shots he takes.

  18. #118
    trying to figure out how Westbrook can go through AD's arm to get that steal w/o fouling

  19. #119
    Terrible shot by Tyreke even tho he made it. Jrue had Adams on him right next to Reke

  20. #120
    I wish we had used a pick on PJ3

    I hate everything about the Thunder. Can't wait until they they cycle back to a period of suck.

  22. #122
    Take Holiday out of the game. Just take him out.

  23. #123
    Jrue Holiday is doing everything to give this game to the Thunder

  24. #124
    Our basketball ball team is soft . They melt as soon as teams take the punch to them. Super soft
    Dell Demps PLEASE get us some scorers!

    esp. the fact that 1 of the main reasons the Sonics moved there was OKC passed their "test" w/ the NO Hornets relocation after Katrina
