Tyreke Evans is shooting better than Russell Westbrook this season...
1: Inside the Arc
2: Behind the 3-Point Line
3: Both


More of an interesting stat than an undeniable truth, but:

Tyreke 46.7% on 2s, 28.9% on 3s
Westbrook 46.5% and 27.6%

This is less a compliment to Tyreke than it is an insult to Westbrook. Westbrook has to lead the league in usage rate by a considerable margin.

I say we help OKC out and trade Reke for Westbrook straight up.

I'm willing to fall on that grenade.

Nope, Westbrook is another A.I. Great player but not a team player.

Yeah. Not sure what Fisher's point is exactly.

Reke has 389 assists to Westbrook's 383. I didn't expect that.

Tyreke has also played 2078 minutes compared to Westbrook's 1564.

Russ has the highest AST % in the entire league according to BREF. He draws fouls at twice the rate Evans does and he makes them at a higher rate too (83% to 70%).

Stats are great, but they need context. I have no idea what Fisher is trying to do, if anything, with those numbers.

I think its pretty obvious. Tap the breaks on people crowning this incredible season of Westbrook without acknowledging that he hasn't been that efficient. No like you said, the FTs make him actually relatively efficient.

Was talking about this last game. Tyreke is just too tough and thick. He rarely gets knocked off his feet. It's sad that you have to sell the call, but if he did, he'd go the line much more. Evans got whacked in the head pretty good last game and just shrugged it off. Plenty of players would have rolled on the ground til the refs reviewed it and called it a flagrant foul. I don't know if there is a solution. It'd be hard to "sell" contact now after refs have seen him take so much before.

Tyreke is that American soccer player in Europe that doesnt grab his ankle and yells foul when he falls on his own

It's a 0.5 game race no matter what the Pelicans do tonight. Not too worried.

I hope for both of our team's sake we stay injury free to the end of the season
