How many times did Bogus block Asik last night? Anderson actually defended Bogus fairly well in limited opportunities last night.
THIS.
If we are playing an offensive center (Gasol) play Asik. If we are playing a defensive center (Bogut) lean Ryno.

dude was working his arse
He always works his arse off (unless that work involves rebounding out of his area). The problem is he's often overmatched in the role he's slotted into at backup center. Did you watch the Blazers game? Kaman was making him look silly, he just couldn't hold his ground. In past years his offense has been enough to offset his defense, but his offense hasn't been good this year, especially on the road. Hopefully he'll get right in the offseason and be a net positive again next year.

Reke hate
If Holiday was healthy and Tyreke was the 6th man and allowed to dominate 2nd units rather than being forced to be one of the most inefficient players in the league in clutch time, that hate would turn to love. Tyrke has a lot of positives, but he has a lot of negatives too and those are hard to minimize with the role he's been asked to take on.

Cole looks like a boy amongst men when he sees the paint.
Cole's strength is actually his midrange game, he's shooting 48% from 10-16 feet, 53% from the midrange and 38% from 3. He really is like a mini Jrue. You're not really complaining about people liking Cole compared to Rivers/Jimmer are you?

He did get off to a slow start shooting, but he got hot pretty quickly and was crucial to keeping us in the game
He shot 5/15 and had a few wide open 3s he missed in the 4th. He also had a crucial TO at the end of the game. Sorry but he was dog shite last night on offense.

I think he has the impression that people want to see Cole over Evans.

He only missed 2 in the 4th and guys miss wide open 3s all the time, that's why they're worth more points.

It wasn't too crucial.

I'll admit that I'm basing a lot of this on how well I do with those players in NBA 2K15 on xbox. 
ETA: I understand Cole is playing point guard and they are not interchangeable players - I was just bothered by the fact that so many times Cole drove into the paint last night and looked like he feared for his life, whereas Reke would have taken it to the basket.

Imagine having Holiday and Cole both playing perimeter defense on the court

Gordon and Holiday are a pretty formidable defensive backcourt, as well. A lot of Gordon's apparent defensive struggles come from the fact that he is often forced into tough rotations.

I rather Cole over Gordon dramatically, recently, since Cole has joined
Beginning of the season and parts of last year I could agree Gordon is on Cole's level
All this obvious odd calls on Gordon cant be a coincidence, or naybe the refs really do hate him

ok whatever you say. That was one of the worst possible times to turn it over. We were tied with 30 seconds on the clock and 12 seconds on the shot clock and instead of being able to possibly get a 2 for 1 or even just some points on the board and Ryno throws a horrid pass right where iggy could get it and if it weren't for tyreke laying his body out for it, he would have had an easy easy dunk and we would have been losing.
If that's not a crucial TO I don't know what is

Sitting near the court and watching it on tv are two different things, and I'm not sure which of you guys were there and which weren't. Yes, that TO near the end could have been very costly, but it worked out. He had another bad play around the same time, but he also had back to back baskets right before both of the bad plays, and the net was positive. I don't mean statistically, I mean the energy it created in the stadium, the way his team responded, etc. Likewise when he nailed some 3's earlier in the game. As stated, he started slow, but when he hit a few shots in the first half it got us back into the game. I don't think there was a person in the arena who would count Anderson as a negative last night. If there were, they weren't watching the same game as I was.

I actually just read the rest of your post, which is even better. The situation you described above was 100%, absolutely, unequivocally, unquestionally, undeniably NOT a crucial turnover, because it wasn't a turnover at all.
Now, if you want to talk about the tough rebound he grabbed then had his outlet pass to AD picked off, that was a turnover, but not exactly crucial.
We can also talk about the silliness of thinking that a late turnover is worse than an early turnover. A FG doesn't become worth 4 points late in the game, so they are all equally "crucial."

Thanks to Iggy for not coming up with it, and/or thanks to Evans for attempting to recover it

You serious? He single-handedly lost that Blazers game. That was literally the worst I've seen an NBA player be. They went at him like it was 2001 Shaq playing against high schoolers.
You misinterpreted what I meant. He was used well in that he only played 18 minutes against Portland and barely saw the floor when Kaman and Aldridge were both on the floor. I agree with your assessment that he looked awful on defense against those two.

Perfect point. Ryno played more minutes last night due to Bogut playing more and being less of an offensive threat. When you have bigs like Gasol and Randolph out there Asik needs to be there if for nothing else than rebounding and preventing putback baskets.

How can it be a crucial TO if it wasnt a TO?? Are you having a stroke?

In life their is Cause and Effect
Cause: Ryan Anderson throws a Potential bad pass in the closing seconds
Effect: Iggy and Evans fight for the loose ball. Pelicans ball!!!!!
