[BooksOrangePlanet]

beautiful ball movement outside inside outside

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

yeah baby suns rolling 16-4 suns on a run

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

suns go up by 5 in comes manman- let's see how long we can go

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

come on jalen - damn

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

we're settling for contested 3s instead of moving the ball - which was just working wonderfully

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

jalen went for it tho lol

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

freakin free throws man - everybody

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

suns not losing any ground with manman in there - still up by 5

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

i do like jalen getting to the line

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

don't pass it to maluach- pass it to the rim

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

hey manman is staying in for the remainder of the half - suns are actually increasing the lead with him in there

nope lol there's oso

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

OSO AND 1

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

dude everyone is feeding oso tonight - jalen - grayson - gillespie and book

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

end of the half suns 58 pelicans 52

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

oso is scoring and maluach isn't a problem

jalen is 5-13 has 18 pts and he's getting to the line with 7 free throws - that's a decent half even by book standards

gillespie with a quiet 9 pts - all from behind the line 50% 3 for 6

but the bell.if the ball is our defense- we're giving up paint points for sure but it's new orleans - that's gonna happen - same with second chance points but we made the pelicans work for everything in the 2nd quarter

very glad to see Maluach learning to block out his man quickly that secured many def. rebounds. His assist to CG's corner 3 was very nice too. He's just too slow reacting to imperfect passes and recollecting himself, which leads to TOs in such attempts. With time it'll come. And Green got his speed back following on final min of last night's game. There is hope for more.

the flemeister with only 4 minutes in the first half

exactly - manman technically had zero rebounds but boxed out and occupied pelicans giving his teammates a chance to grab the rebounds

maluach almost had a couple offensive boards too

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

oneale leads the suns in rebounds with 6 then it's gillespie with 4

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

I THINK THAT'S YET ANOTNER NEW VERSION OF THE BOOK 2 SHOES LOL
