Game Day Thread: Pelicans @ Thunder

Our entire offense to start the second is basically Rivers and Ryno with three guys standing around.

In what world does Ryno think he's good enough to hard dribble left and shoot a fall away jumper?

Ajinca's showing he's got a little something

and we know Cunningham has his spot

wait... Ajinca just hit a jumper from AD's spot... color me shocked

I'll say this ... Austin rivers has been balling the past two weeks

Jincy should never lose minutes to Withey. Did I say that already?

Leave it to five subs to get the lead.

Ajinca is a nice change-up at center. If he ever learns to keep from fouling (and putting himself in situations where he has to foul), he would be a fine fourth big.

our bench has been paying fairly well lately. they've brought us back into multiple games.

Ajinca taking the minutes away from Withey. I like this healthy competition.

I agree, plus the beast that is Ajinca !

Why is john salmons on my tv screen ?

Perkins gets away with so much crap under the rim.

Im not knocking their ability, just how little movement is going on. Thankfully Oklahoma's bench looks worthless so they aren't closing out on shooters and aren't playing well defensively overall. Like leaving Ajinca wide on that last play.

Plus I am just keeping an eye on hockey assists after I realized today that once again we are the only team that doesnt have at least one player average 1 secondary assist a game. I'd laugh if it wasn't so sad.

Somebody check the glass for cracks. That was a bad shot Rivers

RYNO FOR 333333333333333!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why is john salmons guarding Westbrook ?

Ryno with the corner 3333333333333.

ok... back-to-back bad defensive plays by Frenchie

Ajinca just can't not make bonehead mistakes.

That was a ridiculous grab on that alley-oop by Davis.

how did AD catch that. He even makes Rivers look good

This is a game we can win..really a game that we need to win

Stretch Armstrong needs tips from AD on how to stretch like that

Good play by Davis. When Evans(or Jrue) is on the floor I never want to see Rivers initiating the offense though.

Cunningham found his spot

Westbrook tripped over his own two feet .. Just awful officiating

The five out there now look much better than the starting unit. Better ball movement and spacing.

If Cunningham could just move his game out 2 more feet....

Not watching the game as I have to work.
Are we playing with some intensity?

If Ryno would stop shooting 3 feet behind the line, some of those shots might go in

We are letting the offense come to us a lot better. Loving the ball movement even if the last two offensive possession didn't result in points.

We haven't been able to run a fastbreak since cp3 left,

A rare poor decision by Cunningham and it leads to four OKC points. :(

AD just let Ibake demolish him on another missed FT.... Guy needs to man up and box someone out.

he's fine. The mid range game is a lost art. Everybody wants to be a 3 baller. I hate fast breaks where they turn down the 90% + shot for a 20 ft 3 pointer. That's crazy to me.

I just Westbrook kick the ball and dive on ad .. Nothing called

I was about to say yes but then we just allowed a OKC FT get offensive rebounded that turned into a three pointer(4 point play) and Evans turned the ball over immediately after while carrying the ball up the court.

He gets the same grit and hustle calls that Collison (and now Adams) get.

AD won the tip... but the Thunder player who got it just outhustled the Pel player to it

AD is playing well offensively... I want to see him pick it up a little defensively

Cunningham and AD hitting the long twos. The Thunder will give up that shot.

AD won the tip... Cunningham didn't box his play out, and Asik is too slow to get to the ball.

Doug Collins is that you? haha.

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

Why is Evans running the offense

I guess they see him having a larger advantage over his man than Holiday does over his?
