Game Thread: Boston Celtics @ New Orleans Pelicans - 03/16/14

There was one time where he did have a WIDE open shot, but froze up it seems. He ended up passing. A minute or so later, it looked to me like AD was yelling at him about him. So it's good to see AD taking charge on things like that, and hopefully it will help Withey get more comfortable shooting. Hate to see a guy get yelled at by a teammate, but I get a feeling it will get results.

You are correct. I heard that too. I was also yelling at him to do the same so I just laughed at it...

Same. But hey, he's a rookie. He's gonna screw up. If AD yelling at him is what it takes, so be it. Withey got a lot of playing time tonight regardless. he just needs to learn to use it more effectively offensively. And he will.

Last 3 players to have a 40-20 game AND go 10-10 or better from the free-throw line- Moses Malone, Larry Bird, Anthony Davis

I agree 100% about Withey. And, even if it was AD passing up that shot someone should yell at him to shoot it.

This x100,000,000,000! Pierre the Pelican!

[AD23nEG10]

these injuries were a blessing in disguise. no way we run this much through AD with everyone healthy. Huge for our future. his improvement alone has made this years team struggles worth while

[jgman]

guys Davis hasn't missed a FT in 3 games

[FlyGirl]

Don't jinx it!

[AUSSIE_PELICAN]

Is 21 rebounds a career high for AD as well as his points?

Batum's contract sucks.

[AUSSIE_PELICAN]

Batum's contract sucks.

9.2M compared to 11.8M....I wouldn't say sucks, but he is nearly 2.5 years younger.

Green has a much more diverse offensive skillset than Batum. Also, Batum's one on one defense is extremely overrated as well...people see his length and automatically assume he's an effective 3 and D player. Either player would fit well with a lineup of Holiday, Evans, Ryno, and AD. Individually, I like Green more due to his versatility and talent level. The argument is pointless nevertheless; we're not getting either of them anyways.

[FlyGirl]

He only just turned 21 last week ... and @AntDavis23 averaged 30.8 PPG in the five outings BEFORE tonight's eruption

Brad Stevens on Anthony Davis: "I think he's unreal... If there are 10 better players in the league I haven't seen them."

I go on a tour, AD goes on a tear.

Noice.

[smcgull]

Awesome to see that career night for AD.

[Kurgan]

This kid is unreal. Second year in the league and he's putting in games like hall of famers did. Wow

[carpo]

Anyone else notice how vocal Gordon was in some of those huddles late in regulation and ot? AD called that one going back out on the floor late in regulation and Gordon just went in and laid down the law. Nice to see

After all the losing I think we're beginning to see what is hopefully the formation of roles on our team. Guys seem more vocal, players seem to be playing a little harder, etc. Hopefully when Jrue returns he can just fit right in.

No! sure didn't! because (like an idiot), my dvr settings are set to record :30minutes after the theoretical end to the game. How many overtimes am i going to miss before i change the setting to an hour?!
