Whelp, the fact of the matter is that 15 other teams feel just as bad if not worse

I won't even argue it any longer bro. If you can't see how Evans is a negative by now...

If his shooting form has truly improved that means his shot IQ has dropped in proportion because that is actually lower then what he averaged his last year in Sac Town from long 2.

---

He is acceptable at spot-ups, but has to be one of the worst in the league when off the dribble.

22 FT to 9 FT... you figure out which is which, and we have been driving the lane just as much.

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

Maybe that 3 will get Ryno going.

I feel like there is a group of fans that don't actually watch these games and just look at box scores. Evans has been bad this game. He had a spurt a few games back where he genuinely looked like he was putting it altogether: smart decision-making, good shot selection, decent defense, good ball movement, good passing, finishing well at the rim again. But tonight is not one of those nights. He has been a negative on both sides of the ball.

how do they call that foul on Ajinca and not on Collison when he did the same thing to Anderson?

Put Davis on the court FFS

I'm tired of these refs.

Reke and jrue have played just as good as each other, yet Reke is the only one who cops it.

These refs man... WOW

Are you kidding me? Did you just start watching this team this year?

We get no calls

Cunningham was a great pick up

Davis and Anderson need to play better d

Our defense sucks

I don't think you watch much basketball and don't realize how often losing leads actually happens.

I'm sitting at work watching this game on my phone. Reke has done a tonne of good, as well as a bunch of bad. half of ADs points have come from Reke just about. and as I said, jrue has played just as good as reke, yet doesn't cop it.

Sure

How many fouls do you think OKC gets called for this quarter?

I'm guessing no more than 6. Pelicans? I'm guessing around 12.

Probably because they are both also doing their normal things on defense.

Foul on Perkins on AD's dunk... c'mon

Ryno stands so far away from the 3pt line. Like WHY!?!?!?!

Westbrook has more foul shots than our entire team

I dislike watching Westbrook play against teams I like. :mad:

I'm not even a reke fan, but the constant player hate is just tiring.

OKC player driving to the rim

Flail your arms and throw up a prayer.... get FTs. Westbrook as more FTs than the entire pelicans team... how is that freaking possible.

Ballgame. No defense what so ever

Game over....this team is just crap

CALL THE DAMN FOULS!!!!

It is beyond annoying how the Pels are tops in the league in drives and shots at the rim, but have super low free throw attempts.

RYNO FOR 33333333333333!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm telling you it's about to get ugly

97 - 94 does not equal game over...

If we got even half of the foul calls OKC got, we'd be winning this game by 10.

Maybe if Monty would get on refs, he just stands there with arms folded

He has been out of position for spurts all night defensively. He has killed ball movement by going into Iso mode far too many times. Taken bad shots that thankfully a couple of which went in. Dribbled the ball off his foot what, 3 times? And has been a non-factor for long spurts on offense.

This has not been one of his better games.

Just because they don't show it on TV doesn't mean he isn't doing it.

Does it make y'all feel good to say things like this? Like, we lost, but at least I can act smart because I called it? Just can't understand a fan having that mentality.

AD ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDD 11111111111111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He needs to get killed less for his offense and wayy more for his d

u guys crack me up.

If I see "Westbrook driving layup" on the tracker once more I'm going to scream.

AD baby, always hustling.

that was a nice play by Holiday & AD

Reke geez man

All Dems had to do was kick it back to AD for jump shot

I was told that this team was soft. How are they coming up with these defensive stops and finishing with contact?
