Tyreke and Jimmer Watch, 2014-2015 Season Edition

[mac]

Eric Gordon is utter garbage for his contract. I feel bad for the Pels.

 

[peacelate]

Pelicans look scary. If they can get rid of Gordon and move Tyreke to the 2, wow...

Well ... as much as I oppose having him at the 3 it's pretty clear that they've been having success with it, because at the end of the day he's still handling the ball and not just stuck in the corner. But Gordon is inconsistent ... they'd be better off switching him for a JJ Redick sorta guy who can run around and catch and shoot (they've got Jimmer on the bench but he doesn't have the same kind of quickness and is a bit smaller).

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

God help the league if they can move Gordon for a real small forward.

 

[206Fan]

I hope the Pelicans get worn out tonight........... back to back games FTW!!!

Gordon for Iguodala. Make it happen.

 

[Tetsujin]

God help the league if they can move Gordon for a real small forward.

God help the league if they get a coach who isn't Monty Williams

To me, Tyreke is too short to play SF.

 

[206Fan]

Wow............. The Pelicans have gone into me ball in the last 2mins... Tyreke is probably the main culprit.

 

[Chubbs]

Pelicans blow a 16 point lead in Portland tonight.

Lol I've just watched the 4th quarter... I hope this is how they play tomorrow. AD is overrated as hell.. there's a reason why the Pelicans don't go to AD down the stretch. He can't create his own shot... Tyreke forcing everything too

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Evans gagged it up something awful down the stretch: 0-5 , no assists, and 1 turnover in the fourth quarter.

 

[peacelate]

Tyreke was just awful in that 4th. Missed layup after missed layup.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Actually, in the fourth, it was missed jumper after missed jumper. And, after three very good quarters, he suddenly couldn't see Anthony Davis any more.

 

[rainmaker]

Reke looks heavy to me. Lacking explosiveness and doesn't have that acceleration he had a couple years ago. Did he bulk up to play the 3?

Too many Po' Boys and Beignets

Rudy Gay 13mil >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Tyreke 11mil

Rudy Gay 13mil >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Tyreke 11mil

Depends on the needs of your team. Tyreke has been playing very well this season, aside from missing some layups that he normally makes. His passing is vastly improved and he leads the Pelicans in assists. It would probably be fair to say Rudy Gay 13 mil > Tyreke 11 mil, but not to some clearly obvious extent. And of course, we haven't seen Gay's production when he's actually earning 13 mil a year.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Rudy Gay 13mil >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Tyreke 11mil

I wouldn't go that far, but I admit to being biased on the subject.

Dieting advice from Eric Gordon

 

[VF21]

I've moved the spin-off discussion of Anthony Davis to the Anthony Davis thread. (Go figure...)

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

FYI, lost in all the Anthony Davis hate, Evans was 0-2 in the first half, 5-9 in the second. All eighteen points, and all five of his assists in the second half.

I pointed this out in the game thread at halftime, though nobody else acknowledged it. Evans/Davis is the engine that runs that team and we kept both of them in check in the first half but our guards aren't strong enough to stop Tyreke and Davis is especially dangerous operating in all the open space created when Tyreke drives the ball. If Rudy and/or Ben had a big second half it might not have mattered. Most of the discussion after the game seemed to revolve around Ryan Anderson torching us from three but 4 for 12 on the game isn't exactly world beating. More worrisome was allowing Tyreke to do whatever he wanted to the tune of an 18 and 5 second half.

 

[rainmaker]

Gordon separated his shoulder yesterday. Might see Reke at the 2.

 

[Section 101]

Gordon separated his shoulder yesterday. Might see Reke at the 2.

Maybe he can get his PER above 15 now.

 

[Tetsujin]

Gordon separated his shoulder yesterday. Might see Reke at the 2.

I don't know. They still have guard depth. If they moved Reke back to the 2, that means they'll hav to start Babbitt at the 3 and I don't think that's a good thing

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

This game is a perfect example of Bad!Evans. Not hitting shots, and he's being selfish. If they were playing at SKC tonight, he'd be getting booed right now.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Egad. Evans just looked off a wide-open Davis at the rim, and blew the layup, got the offensive rebound, looked Davis off again, and got blocked.

 

[KingMilz]

Tyreke shooting 36 year old Kobe Bryant FG%'s, what on earth occurred to his ability to finish lay ups?

 

[mac]

2-15 .. yikes.
