One positive for New Orleans moving forward is that rookie forward Anthony Davis is back after missing 11 games due to a stress reaction in his left ankle. The No. 1 overall pick returned Tuesday and finished with 13 points, eight rebounds, three block and three steals in 25 minutes off the bench.
Davis missed the Dec. 1 matchup but scored eight points with 11 boards in the first meeting with Oklahoma City.
Long story short, if Hasheem the Dream cant get his shit together, we are ****ed. But in all honesty, its nice to see AD finally play games again and hopefully he continues to develop into a monster of a player we all know he can (just not tonight).

OKC has already blown them out twice this year, in New Orleans. Even though this game is in OKC, I'm going to go with the law of averages or some other bullshit, and say this game will more competitive. I mean in both games OKC had a 30+ point lead in the third quarter, surely they can't do that a third time to the same team can they?

Perk wasted two possessions when he went into "I'm Shaquille O'Neal" mode. OKC shooting 4/12 from the floor (started 2/10) and New Orleans can't miss right now. Still, if Ibaka makes this FT it's just 14-10.
