Is it me or is RWIII defending AD really well today?
Can somebody confirm AD's FG% being guarded by RW??

His length and athleticism have really forced AD to change his shots. You can tell he's thinking about it now.

2-14 from three. You would think that would change in the 2nd half for a C’s victory.

Davis has supposedly been a "non-factor" so far yet still has 18/5...  :o

Brown is 27% for 3 this year. And he is taking a few a game.

Guys. We're up 6 at halftime against the Anthony Davis Pelicans without our Big 3 and no Baynes.  :o
It reminds me of when the Spurs would rest Duncan, Parker & Ginobili and still win, except we have JT and JB
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but what's wrong with Kyrie?

if we could hit a few more of our 3s we would be solidly n control of this game.

He hurt his shoulder. I think it's just sore...

The team is competing with 5 players out. It could be a lot worse.

RW3 is an impressive defensive player, he's actually bothering Davis.

Beyond AD, we have the better team. Jrue Holiday and Julius Randle are solid players and Mirotic can go crazy from 3, but New Orleans just doesn't have a deep team.

I think it's shoulder soreness.
No point of letting him play and possibly hurt himself more.

That’s pretty much it. We’re 2-14 from three and still shooting over 50% from the field. So many dunks and layups. The team’s approach is so different than the first 10-15 games ... and the Pelicans’ defense is terrible.

Ah from the last game, right I forgot. Thanks all.

The thing is, it's better to play an inside game then. You shouldn't shoot 3s for the sake of shooting 3s. Playing efficiently is key to winning any NBA game, and 3s shouldn't be any 1 priority. Now, if we could start hitting the good look 3s, this game would be a wrap.
