Corndeaux, what's the numbers when we win?

I agree Anderson isn't the main reason, but if he plays well, we very rarely lose. AD or tyreke can play there arse off and we can still lose.

Anderson can go 3-9 from three and score 14 points, but if the three are timeout causing threes or late game threes, I feel better about the chances of us winning.

Back when games were only on cox I'd check the box score and if peja/Anderson shot well from three or scored 20+ points, it's very likely we won.if they shot poorly, we most likely loss.

In wins, the team shoots 50% on 84 FGA and 39% on 19 3FGA.

Anderson: 47% on 14 FGA and 41% on 7 3FGA

Holiday: 47% on 13 FGA and 41% on 3 3FGA

Evans: 48% on 16 FGA and 38% on 2 3FGA

Anderson has the biggest jump, but all of them see a healthy increase in shooting performance.

Interestingly, Anderson has the same DRating (102) in wins as Holiday.

I agree. When Anderson shoots well from deep that means the Pelicans are likely having an efficient night on offense. He gets hot from deep and games can change in 90 seconds. And he has been less than what we are used to seeing. His shot has been hit or miss.

I don't agree with premise of the thread: that Anderson is the sole reason the team wins or loses. That his defense single handedly sinks the team's defense. Or that they are better off trading him.

This sounds to me like Ryno is more the reason we win than the reason we lose.
