Suns @ Pelicans Thursday game thread 12-5-19

[Mainstreet]

Suns build 2nd half lead to 84-73. Timeout Pelicans.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Booker being aggressive and I like it!

 

[CRC83]

Instead of the second half can we just do some sort of 3 pt contest? Similar to the all star game. 5 head to head battles.

And, like All Star weekend, I'd watch the slam dunk competition and skip the 3-point shooting contest.

For some reason I like the 3 pt contest more. But to each their own

 

[Mainstreet]

Feed Booker!

 

[Mainstreet]

And another Booker 3 pointer.

 

[TJ]

Booker going for fitty tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 107 - Pelicans 91

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker going for fitty tonight.

He just might. Booker has made scoring look easy with 38 points.

This Devin Booker is a Top-10 player in this league.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns doing what they do. Give up big leads.

 

[BC867]

Suns lead is down to 10 with 9:47 to go.

This will be a good test to see if Devin's
stats hold the victory for the Suns.

 

[Mainstreet]

Needed that 3 pointer by Cam.

 

[BC867]

Devin's shot is blocked. But Cam hits a '3'. Suns up by 10,

 

[Mainstreet]

Oubre is shooting 5-15 tonight.

I think Ayton will help this issue quite a bit. Both defensively and offensively.

 

[BC867]

Booker blocked again. But Cam with a clutch shot.

 

[BC867]

Book hits one.

 

[BC867]

Book misses a '3'.

 

[BC867]

Rubio with a clutch '3', which puts the Suns back up by 8 with 5:00 to go.

Granted, we wouldn't be there without Booker's 40 so far.

 

[dscher]

Oubre with his hero ball.. if he was straight about his fundamentals, he would be amazing..SMH. He drives me nuts.

 

[Mainstreet]

The ball will not go down for Oubre tonight.

 

[AzStevenCal]

The ball will not go down for Oubre tonight.

I don't mind the misses, it's the stupid things he does that irritates me. Twice now, late in the game, he's picked up the rebound and gone straight back up when using the clock would have helped us far more.
