Tyresus has Career Night

For those of you who missed it, and judging by the game thread it was most of you, Tyreke had a huge night 41 points 9 rebounds 8 assists 3 steals with 1 turnover and no fouls. But beyond the numbers he just dominated on a night when MVP candidate Kevin Durant disappeared. Tyreke also was coming off of a bone bruise in his knee and wasn't looking likely to play after limping through the morning shoot around.

Here are a few highlight videos, nothing super spectacular, just Tyreke doing his thing of making it look easy getting to the rim at will.

“It was one of those nights where I felt like no one could stick me, nobody could guard me,” described Evans, who missed Saturday's loss at Houston due to injury. “I was finishing strong. The knee was sore, but I was fighting through it. Coach did a good job of getting the ball in my hands so I could operate in pick-and-rolls. When (the Thunder) helped (on defense), I was finding open guys.”

Scary that 25 pts qualifies as disappearing for KD. I did barely notice him out there though.

..bu..bu..but tyreke can't finish layups and can't shoot a jumper!
He also can't get guys involved!

Was witness... we bowed the entire time he had the ball under three mins to go.
Love seeing games like this.

Last night only re-affirmed: A) We absolutely have to get rid of Gordon. B) We absolutely need Monty to grow up or ship out.
People like Roberts/Aminu/Steimsma shouldn't be on the floor AT ALL. All of a sudden, they don't play much and the vastly underrated bench steps up for the 2nd night in a row vs a very good team.
Dell's collection of talent is pretty crazy. Let's figure out a way to jettison Gordon (even if it's a negotiated buyout), keep Morrow/Rivers and say goodbye to the aforementioned 3 players (1 down).
What Tyreke did last night was silly. Bum knee and he has a career night. He's also showing to be more than a capable defender.

It just took 3 backcourt injuries to get him the role and playing time he should have had all along.

Some good quotes on the game.

quote:
“Kevin (Durant) came up to me in the first half and said, ‘What are you doing playing?’ ” Evans noted in the postgame locker room. “ ’You’re supposed to be hurt!’ ”
...It was his first official NBA game since April 13, 2011, but what center Melvin Ely will remember most from his return to the league Monday won’t have anything to do with his time on the court. Not long after the New Orleans Pelicans’ 101-89 stunner over the Oklahoma City Thunder, a smiling Ely was discussing his plan to watch a replay of the game, specifically so he could see Tyreke Evans’ 41-point, nine-rebound, eight-assist performance again.
“I think I had more fun watching him play than actually playing,” Ely said. “And I hadn’t played (in the NBA) in three years. I was over there on the bench trying not to act like I’m watching TV. He was amazing. There aren’t many players who could make me want to watch a game again – maybe Kobe, LeBron and a couple others.”
...“You knew he was fast. You knew he had the game,” said Ely, briefly a teammate of Evans in Sacramento. “But he was in a whole other gear from everybody else on the court. I’m having a hard time thinking of someone who can stay in front of him. He has a football player’s body, a track star’s speed, and he can handle the ball. He’s a difficult matchup. When he has a mismatch and we need two points, he does what all All-Stars do, he goes and gets it. He was amazing tonight.”
