What did Monty do so bad tonight? I'm not his biggest fan but the picking on him at times is obsessive.

Sort of like what Bill Simmons is doing right now...dude is just picking on him to pick on him. If Boston and Brad Stevens pulled off this game dude would be banging the drum for Stevens for COTY.
Educate me...

Is Ryan Anderson still hurt? I just don't see why he's playing so big against GS with Asik and Davis on the floor and not even spacing the floor more with Anderson. Tyreke is good at getting in the paint, why not give everybody more space by putting more shooting on the floor? Asik also, gave them absolutely NOTHING offensively, dude had more fouls than points.

Reke
Gordon
Pondexter
Anderson
Davis

That lineup does much better against this GSW team than the shyt he was putting out there.

Is Cunningham good? I couldn't figure out why he took Asik out down the stretch when his rebounds were keeping them in the game.

I honestly hope Ryan is still lingering from his injury because he has been GARBAGE since returning. I can't speak for Monty but I assume he's simply tired of Ryan's ineffectiveness and benched him today because of that.

He does provide spacing though. Asik offers us a lot of things, but Ryan offers us more vs a team like GS. But Ryan, who's job is to score, has done such a shytty job at it that I think coach would just rather have a big body in the paint.

Look, either way we not winning this series. Any lineup we put out there isn't ultimately going to beat GS. I agree, I like your lineup more and it's the one I would go with but I don't think the one he went with tonight was bad since we were playing much better with it plus the fact that Ryan has been atrocious on offense lately if you look at his numbers.

Cunningham is a good defensive/hustle player. Again, I think coach has had it up to here with Ryan's shytty offensive outpouring so he put Cunningham into the lineup instead of Ryan at that point because of his frustration with Ryan.

Can the Pels take on that extra 9 million? If so I'd do anything that's not adding salary and brings picks back.

To make the salaries work, you'd have to take Pondexter(he'll be making about 3.5 mil/yr from now til 2018)

@NOSaintsFan02 @SubZeroDegrees
You think the Pelicans Front Office would agree to a trade for Joe Johnson in exchange for Eric Gordon; Pondexter, and a future lotto protected 1st?

If they wanna be dumbasses and ensure AD eventually bolts us like CP3 did, sure.
