G21: New Orleans Pelicans at Oklahoma City Thunder | 6PM CST

[spearsy23]

What's with Westbrook and the high TOs? Product of trying to force the triple doubles?

Trying to create 100% of the offense and we're trying to play as fast as possible. His tov% is right in line with his career.



Also, clutchbrook gonna clutch.

He ignited a run with his TOs that almost gave up the lead though. I actually thought the Thunder were finding pretty good offense from other guys too tonight.

My unpopular opinion is he's been worse over his recent triple double games than he was before the streak but the team keeps winning so
shrug

Shot has been off the last few but he's making up for it in other areas and hitting clutch shots. he Made or assisted on 22 of the 41 shots we made tonight and was +13 in a win so i think we can overlook a bad turnover game. Don't really care about his efficiency or turnovers, it's clear he's the reason we're winning again. 5-0 during his streak.

I really need to stay off facebook, this guy just said Adams defense isnt much better than Kanters

[Osirus89]

Domantas was much better against Davis than I thought he would be. Had a few good stops on Davis even when he was left alone against him. Domantas is a special rookie. Wonder what the center rotation is going to be against Atlanta. If Coach Donovan goes with kanter and lauvergne, I hope they hit their shots because that defense is going to be sketchy.

[QPR]

Sabonis has surprisingly quick hands defensively - that block/steal of the Davis alley-oop was a very heady play. Adams is also very quick with his hands down low, which is pretty rare for a seven footer.

[Pillendreher]

What a weird game. I think we were the clearly better team, but couldn't keep the lead 10+. Our defensive rotations were crips for once and it shows that Donovan is moving towards a more diverse style of offense.

I like how we've bounced back from that very ugly stretch.

[Bergmaniac]

Yeah, pretty weird game. Both teams couldn't make a three to save their lives until the last several minutes and the refs really let them, they allowed so much contact without whistling.

Sabonis' defence was impressive. His defensive ability will become even more apparent when the refs stop whistling him for phantom fouls so often because he's a rookie. Last night they didn't and it showed. I hate this idiotic NBA custom where you got to "earn the respect" of the refs.

He was like Nick Collison out there, calling out defensive rotations, telling his teammates where to go. Really impressive for a guy in his 21st NBA game.

Domantas seems such a smart player. Not surprising given who his dad is.

Funny stat I just noticed - Roberson has made 1 FT in the last 14 games (out of 12 attempts). 26% for the season. Small sample size and all, but I wonder if we'll see teams attempt "Hack-a-Andre" soon.

What a weird game.

The Pelicans have a habit of getting in to weird games.

I was expecting to see a reason that Westbrook is better than Davis, instead I saw that the Thunder are better coached and have a better supporting group. Thunder have a great great big rotation. Think Thunder's path to success is great defensive team and then just let WB be WB.

But the basketball fan in me would love to see Westbrook play on a 5 out 3point shooting team.

They have in the past...

It's really cringe worthy watching Roberson shoot free throws. Even when he's in a good night from three-point land, he goes to the free throw line and just bricks 'em both...
