Pelicans @ Suns Thursday game thread 2-27-2025

[Mainstreet]

Would have liked to see Dunn in there for Tyus for rebounding purposes.

Dunn seems on the outs. The Suns are starting to miss what Okogie brought to the team.

 

[Mainstreet]

Opponents look at the Suns defense and think, easy money.

Supposedly that's why Bol Bol is in there according to guys following the team. He's supposed to be the energy guy now.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

It’s comical how bad the Suns defend the 3 point shot.

 

[Yuma]

That's why we are still losing even though our scoring is getting better. We just try and outshoot the other side. Except we give them more cracks at it with more rebounds for them and turn overs by us. Then we play no D on top of all of that. Honestly, I am amazed we keep games so close.

 

[Yuma]

Just validated my point. Turn over off a time out.

bol bol growing up before our very eyes

 

[Yuma]

Bol Bol's form on his threes reminds me of a trebuchet.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns miss the toughness Crowder brought to the team.

 

[Yuma]

Murphy the third shoots from so far back. How do you guard that?

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Hahaha, both of these teams are so terrible on the defensive end. It’s like watching a high school game. Suns turning the ball over and playing worse defense than the Pelicans thus far.

 

[Mainstreet]

It doesn't matter. The Suns don't cover the three… nor the interior.

 

[Mainstreet]

Yea, Gillespie is getting minutes.

 

[Yuma]

It doesn't matter. The Suns don't cover the three… nor the interior.

In transition they stray so far away from their guys and leave them wide open for three.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Pelicans 35 - Suns 30

 

[Mainstreet]

Inside or out, the Suns leave everything open.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dunn should have passed the ball to an open Gillespie.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

wife: hey dunn's playing

 

[AzCardsfan76]

This is so hard to watch.

 

[Yuma]

wife: hey dunn's playing

You: The Suns are done playing, too!

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with the Pelicans leading 45-30.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

whatever focus and determination the suns showed just two days ago has gone out the window - houston must be so happy

 

[Yuma]

We can't run anyone off the three.

 

[Mainstreet]

We can't run anyone off the three.

That would require running.

 

[Mainstreet]

Maybe Annie should coach. She was telling Dunn to bring his hand up on the ball on defense.
