Davis had no where to go with it once Bogut stepped it off and no one got open to give him a passing out.
Bad coaching.
What an absolute ****ing choke job by monty Williams and new Orleans...... Wow
This will be a sweep.
Hope the Grizz can take care of Portland in a sweep and not give them life and make it a series.

Monty Williams' job coaching the Pelicans tonight makes me want to argue for Scott Brooks' job.
Davis should've done something other than straight drive.

Whoever No. 20 is in this screwed up on the second change. How do you leave Curry unguarded in the corner?
How did nobody crash the boards on the entire team? That's a badly coached team. How does Gordon and Evans get to take so many shots when it is obvious that Davis and Anderson are your scorers? Badly coached team. How do you run an inbound play going towards your basket with your big man to let him get fouled instead of your best ft shooter who just made 2 the trip before? Monty sucks

quote:I am just watching the highlights and there was so much standing around and watching when Curry would launch those 3's and miss, and you had 3 or 4 Pelicans standing flatfooted while Green and Barnes would clean up Curry's miss. Terrible.

On the game tying 3, wtf was davis doing guarding speights out at the 3 point line on the first shot? I'm pretty sure that if the warriors want him to take the shot you let him all day. Better than curry or Thompson. Wow, what a choke.
Monty said the gameplan was for the Pelicans to foul on the last possession rather than let GSW shoot.
Didn't get to see the second half, but what a crazy game. In spite of the 60+ point first half by NO, GS was still in the game. I just don't see how anyone is going to be able to hang with the GS offense when they seem to be able to do this across an entire series. Maybe a bigger, longer defender on Curry will negate it somewhat like Kawhi or Lebron, but they just have so many other weapons.
Went to bed when NOLA was up by 20.
Ugh.
Ugh.
Monty Williams has consistently been one of the three or four worst coaches in the league this season along with Byron Scott, Randy Wittman and Derek Fisher. The Pelicans have lost a lot of close games due to his play calling. It's a shame he'll most likely get an extra year thanks to the Pelicans making the playoffs. If this team is coached by Thibs, Alvin Gentry, or Billy Donovan they probably win 5-6 more games and last night's game.

Game report on officiating.

With 30s left, Dray Green fouled the Unibrow going for a rebound. Should have been Pelicans ball. Warriors scored one point on that possession to make it a 3-point game.
With 14s left, Steph Curry traveled and it was not called. Curry made a three pointer to make it a 2-point game, but it should have been Pelicans ball.
Curry was fouled and should have had a four point play. But wouldn't have mattered if the previous two were called correctly because it would be a 7-point game, not a 3-point game.
Pretty big swing there.

I've been very unimpressed with the officiating in pretty much every series thus far. Far cry from the excellent officiating we saw in the 13 and 14 finals.
Aren't the playoff officials not a whole crew from the season, just the better?
Poor first round officiating is probably a factor of crews not having experience together.
Finals officials are the best right? That's why the last 2 finals had better officiating.

Stat just mentioned:
New Orleans is -26 with Davis and Asik on the court together in this series.
They're +3 with Davis and someone other than Asik.

What a horrible trade that ended up being for them. Dork Elvis strikes again, although it's not a gonzo pick.
I hesitate to type this, but NO making it slightly interesting.
12 point game.

Man, how did Gordon get that contract?
Not sure if the Warriors will lose 4 times in the WC playoffs, much less to 1 team 4 times.
quote:Yep. He's such a huge negative on offense because opposing centers can leave him and completely clog the lane. People who thought Houston should keep him over Howard were out of their minds.

quote:He was really good on the Clippers. 23/4 in his 3rd season. Then he banged knees with Grant Hill and caught Grant Hill Injuries from him. Gordon played nine games that year and Hill played 80. He needed microfracture and never really recovered.
Man, how did Gordon get that contract?
The Suns offered him a max deal and the Pelicans matched. If didn't, they would have only ended up with Austin Rivers from the Chris Paul trade after two years.
Well his knee still sucked and he did nothing but sulk as the Pelicans were terrible and demanded trade after trade, but no one really wants him because he sucks and is injured all the time while making the max.
His defense is on par with James Harden in 2013 and 2014. He posted a negative box +/- yet again this season.
To show how bad his knees are now, his first three seasons, he had about 100 dunks. This year he had 0. But I'm sure he is still mad that he doesn't get enough credit for getting the Pels into the playoffs and probably still wants a trade with a team that wants terrible jump shooter making the max that can't guard anyone.
Yeah......that's a really good summary.
He was third in the NBA in three point percentage this year and 12th in made three per game. He can shoot, it's just everything else that he's terrible at. That max contract was the dumb move of a team that thought all it needed to vault to contention was a great shooter at PG to go with Kaman/Landry/Okafor down low, Belinelli/Ariza on the wings, and Jarrett Jack at backup PG. So they gave a no-defense playing SG a max contract, not realizing that it would leave them with a bunch of bad defenders and no starting PG because at the end of the day they ARE the Hornets/Pelicans and that's the kind of thing franchises like the Hornets/Pelicans do a lot.
