re: Tyreke Evans is KILLING this team right now

What? So he had a game where he was allowed to get to the rim and unusual amount of times? Still missed some layups and turned it over 6 times.

Good game. Glad to see him playing well but hardly bump worthy.. I saw nothing in his play to indicate he had turned the corner. He's always been prone to a game like this every couple months.

1 game where he does well doesn't offset 4-5 that he plays like shite.

He only had 2 really terrible games in his last few(Was/Uta).

Other ones?

30/5/3(60% FG)

18/6/6(47%)

22/7/5(58%)

18/6/5(45.5%)

He hasn't been perfect but not "shite"

He took over late

Alright finished the game

He was on fire mid-4th

One good quarter hasn't quite made up a week or two shite sandwich he served up before this

I honestly wouldn't mind him doing that so often if he actually passed the ball to someone else on every other possession. There's times where its like 3-4 straight possessions where he's the sole handler and the only person to even touch the ball.

@ryenarussillo: I realize Tyreke went off in the 4th quarter, but I think it's a bad habit for New Orleans to run their offense this way.

I agree with this. I thought we got way too stagnant in the fourth quarter last night. It worked because we hit shots, but as we've seen, we can't count on that consistently. It also helped that we had a big lead going into the fourth. It's frustrating because for three quarters we moved the ball and got good shots.

He's missed a lot of gimmes this year. His at rim percentage last year was 54%, career 59.8%, last night raised his percentage to 49%.

The success is really tied to the defense. When they create misses and turnovers they get out running in transition and the energy of the team is totally different even in the half court sets.

ETA: In wins we average a combined 16.28 Blocks and Steals, in losses we average 11. When we have 15 or more blocks and steals we're 4-1, and that 1 loss was Portland, a game we should have won.
