Tyreke and Jimmer Watch, 2014-2015 Season Edition

[mac]

Evans with some terrible passes early on. Telegraphing them or throwing them way over his team mates.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

He's a gamer, though: I gotta give him his props, just for that. He probably shouldn't be playing on that ankle.

 

[kingsboi]

Pelicans in general have been injury riddled all season long

 

[Gilles]

A lot of good games tonight, and in one of them Tyreke is killing Houston Hardens.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Evans acquitted himself quite well as a point guard against Stephen Curry. Curry outplayed him, but Evans put up 12pts, on 4-8 shooting, 6reb, 9ast and 4stl. Any time a point guard has more assists than shot attempts, he had a damned good night.

He may be unavailable for the back-to-back in Memphis tomorrow, though: he took a hard knock to the shoulder making a game-saving dive for a loose ball, late in the fourth.

All thanks to Ryan Anderson and his brilliant WTH WAS THAT pass. I swear Anderson's made them worse since returning

 

[ESP47]

Wow just noticed Jimmer is shooting .188 from 3 this year.

He shot 49% last year from beyond the arc.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Jimmer is done. He's got no place in the nba if he can't shoot.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Quiet as its kept, the "injury prone" Tyreke Evans played in his career-best 76th game tonight, and made his 73rd start. He has now started in more games this season than he has ever played in any other season.

 

[jalfa]

has Ryan Anderson ever looked worse than this? sheesh, dude would have trouble cracking the rotation of a Euroleague team.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'll be watching tonight's game with great interest; the most important game of Tyreke Evans' career to-date.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

So far, so good for New Orleans: Evans, Davis and Holiday are playing for their lives.

 

[Tyndel]

Unless my eyes deceive me, I think they just got to the playoffs with Reke at PG... ...

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Shout out to Tyreke Evans, who played as well as he's ever played, in the biggest game of his career: 19pts, on 9-15 shooting, 4reb, 11ast, 3stl, 1blk, and no turnovers.

 

[Bricklayer]

yep, an 11-0 ast/to ratio, and I've still got a team to root for in these playoffs.

 

[Larry89]

What couldve been..

 

[jalfa]

that was a really fun game. looking forward to the Pellies winning....well, one game, I suppose...but still, progress!

 

[Darth Divac]

I love DeMarcus to death, but Reke will always be my favorite NBA player.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

What couldve been..

Is there a bigger indictment of Keith Smart than the fact that, in 2011-12, he had DeMarcus Cousins, Tyreke Evans and Isaiah Thomas, along with Marcus Thornton, JJ Hickson, and Hassan Whiteside, and only managed to win twenty-two* games?





*Granted, it was the lockout season but, still... that's only a .333 winning percentage: that still only projects to 27 wins in a full season.

 

[IfAt1st]

To provide fair coverage, it should be noted how Tyreke's year ended:

Tyreke wilted in this last home loss vs the Warriors.
Guy was scared to shoot the ball (with good reason - when they dropped completely off him and dared him to shoot, he barely hit rim) - and he was utterly ineffective at driving to the hoop.
He was relegated to simply making a little shimmy, then having to pass it off to a teammate. Most of his 5 "assists" were padded - the guy he handed off to simply made a shot (after a move - so why'd he get the assist?).

I guess I just don't tune in to all these great performances you guys talk up in this thread.... because every time I watch Tyreke, it's the same old thing.

So you didn't even watch the Kings Pelicans games?

 

[kupman]

He averaged 10 pts/game on 32% from the field for the series. He was 18% from beyond the arc and 59% from the line.

He is one of the reasons the Pelicans were swept. The Pelican guards simply looked like children next to the GS guards.

In 6 years in the league he has never been an All-Star and has never won a play-off game despite playing with the best centers in the league.

He continues to disappoint.

Asik is one of the best centers in the league?

It's not even worth the energy, man. There are people here who made up their minds on Tyreke Evans, years ago. As far as they're concerned, he'll never be able to do right. I mean, let's ignore the fact that Evans was the only real constant on that team (Davis: 14 missed games, Gordon: 21 missed games, Anderson: 21 missed games, Holiday: 42 missed games). Let's ignore the fact that, if it weren't for Evans averaging 17/10/4, en route to leading New Orleans to a 4-1 record at the end of February, without Anthony Davis, that they never would have made the playoffs in the first place.

Remember, this is sports. And, when it comes to a player that you don't like, you only have to judge them by their worst performances; fairness is not required.

So we're ignoring everything he did over about three months to help get NO to the playoffs in the West as NO's 2nd best player while also ignoring he was playing injured in this series and questionable to even play in game 2, while Holiday was also far from healthy?

Davis is a PF btw and if he doesn't run from the spotlight in game 3, NO at least wins one game.

And you're right Reke hasn't won a playoff game, but without Reke Davis still hasn't appeared in a playoff game which is the current situation Cuz finds himself, still not even close to a playoff appearance after 5 years. So you could easily argue a guy like Reke is what's needed to get a Davis or a Cuz into the playoffs since neither have come close without.

 

[KingMilz]

Pelicans have to decide who there PG is, it's Holiday (I think he could be very useful to us) or Evans you can't pay two guys 10+ million dollars to play the same position
