Pelicans @ Suns Tuesday Playoff game thread 4-26-2022 - Game 5

[Hoop Head]

Boston has looked waaaaay better than us these playoffs

They played a decrepit Brooklyn team that doesn't play defense. They swept them but all but 1 of those games was close and could have gone either way. I'm not worried about Boston. Miami has looked better, IMO, and is more dangerous than Boston.

They were clearly out of gas in the second half of the fourth quarter. Every single one of them looked exhausted.

Avocado didnt

Wonder if Ingram’s elbow is gonna be an issue come Thursday

Pelicans indeed looked tired at the end.

We just need to get our asses tougher is all..

Monty used the bench which was huge. Payne showed flashes but he canceled out much of what he did and our leads started to evaporate for a couple of his stretches. I thought the spot minutes with Holiday, Biyombo were huge tonight. Gave others with foul trouble some breathing room and allowed him to limit Pauls minutes in the second half.

I like reading tweets from the other media.

He's still scared.... But I'll give him credit for realizing his fear and throwing in holiday for some play

I enjoy seeing Cam Payne so happy in post game interview.

Suns are 50-0 when leading after three quarters.

That literally is one of the most complete games (both ends of the floor) that I have ever seen from a Suns player in the playoffs. The box score doesn’t do what he did on the other end justice.

You guys talking about potential eastern conference opponents when we haven’t even gotten out of the first round in the west? C’mon man…

Can’t kill rodents easily…

Wasn’t his elbow. He dislocated his right pinky finger.

No one is forgetting about the Pelicans or any future opponent.
