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
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.
Westbrook is playing like Kobe.
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.
Kobe has taken more contested mid-range jumpers this season than 12 whole NBA teams. Just sayin

Bad shot by Tyreke but he made it lol.
Speaking of long twos, Evans comes out and knocks down two of my least favorite shots he takes.
trying to figure out how Westbrook can go through AD's arm to get that steal w/o fouling
Terrible shot by Tyreke even tho he made it. Jrue had Adams on him right next to Reke
I hate everything about the Thunder. Can't wait until they they cycle back to a period of suck.
Jrue Holiday is doing everything to give this game to the Thunder
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!
