Its not Monty's fault. Its not Dell's fault. It's not Anthony Davis or Eric Gordon or Tyreke Evans or Omer Asik or Jrue Holiday or Austin Rivers' faults. It is Ryan Anderson's fault. This team lives and dies on his shooting performances. When he makes his shots, the Pels win. When he doesn't they lose. IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT. It has nothing to do with anyone else on this team or in this organization.

It is because of Ryan Anderson that the Pels have wasted so many masterful Anthony Davis 30 point performances. No one else. /discussion about Pels problems.

We rely on him to score big points, because he will give up alot of points on defense. He is the New Orleans Saints lol

I'm honestly really opening to trading him for a mid/later 1st and a depth piece.

We can just slide dante to PF.

Ryan has been up and down this year but it doesn't fall squarely on him. If you can't see how abysmal our coach is than I can't help you in understanding how the NBA works. Coaches are so underrated in this league and you can look at Boston as an example, no talent but great coach. We switch coaches with Boston and we would be 6 games above .500. Monty is by far the largest majority of the problem.

If Anderson isn't hitting 3s he's pretty much useless

Bad on D, below average rebounder, only average offensively around the basket

If he doesn't turn around his shooting he really serves very little purpose on this roster

This is just silly. Literally every Pelicans player other than Davis sees their offensive stats drop big time on the road. Meanwhile the defense goes from shoulder shrug at home to tire fire on the road. (BTW Anderson plays the same minutes at home and on the road). They lost because of defense. Even with Anderson off last night, they scored 107 points per 100, that's good enough to win in this league.

If fans really think trading Anderson when his value is at its lowest is a good idea, I'm going to go have a drink. Threads bitching about offense are omnipresent now, if they move Anderson they will be innumerable.

Been saying this for years. Same for Peja back in th day.
You can look at the box score of those two and tell if we won or loss more than likely.

id argue against it, and say its Tyreke. When he plays bad, we lose.

He's shooting 36% on the road, and 38% from the field in our losses. That's debilitating when you shoot 15x a game

I tried to get some numbers together earlier to make this same point, but what I found is that Anderson scores 17.5 in wins, 13 in losses. Wasn't nearly as spread apart as I thought it would be. So while he has had some big nights with big wins, it's hard to put the collection of losses on him.

I really agree with you here. Our 2nd team is bad, just bad. The only hope we have when our starters rest is for Anderson to hit shots. Otherwise, we just fall too far behind. Sad truth.

Ryan Anderson tonight = 6/12 and the Pels win. Not surprised.
