[BirdGangThing]

[BirdGangThing]

[Mainstreet]

Allen is missing some key shots.

 

[nashman]

Allen got to knock down that open 3 geesh that’s a bad miss….

 

[BirdGangThing]

every possession counts every pass

 

[BirdGangThing]

[BirdGangThing]

[nashman]

Book or KD or Beal need to step up and shoot we don’t need the role players bricking shots right now!

 

[Yuma]

I expect to lose at this point.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Allen doing his best JJ Reddick impression… money with the 3… except when the team needs it most.

 

[Mainstreet]

Zion pushes Beal out of bounds.

 

[BirdGangThing]

D-FENSE!

 

[BirdGangThing]

not looking good

 

[Mainstreet]

No wall for Zion. Too easy.

 

[BirdGangThing]

more like zion barkley - geez he's good

 

[Yuma]

Zion just blindly threw it at the rim....

 

[nashman]

Zion pushes Beal out of bounds.

Yep he was over aggressive all day and they barely called anything on him ridiculous….

 

[Yuma]

Looks like we needed fifty point DB today...

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Pelicans 113 - Suns 105

 

[nashman]

BS game wouldn’t let it deter what we’ve been doing well! fudge the Pelicans and the refs for calling a crap game!

 

[Mainstreet]

Some final stats.

[nashman]

They went small and Vogel had no clue how to adjust. No Bol or little bench use in general in the second half makes zero sense!

 

[Cheesebeef]

This team does a great job of tempering any expectations.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Zion going off was somewhat expected, but what really cooked them was CJ and Alvarado going off from 3 in the first half. Put them in a hole they could never really recover from.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Also, when teams go small against Phoenix, Vogel has to give Thad Young a look. Drewbanks can't do anything on the offensive end against a switch everything defense, whereas Young has good touch around the rim, and is much better at making decisions in the short roll
