Suns @ Pelicans Friday game thread 1-19-2024

[Yuma]

17 point lead. This is shaping up for a Pelicans run.

Suns need to pick up the pace, they are going back to the slow pace

Refs…

17 point lead. This is shaping up for a Pelicans run.

Pels are good enough to do that, are the Suns good enough to weather it?

 

[nashman]

Willie Green smart told them to ugly it up get physical and see if the refs call it and of course they don’t! How many blatant fouls at the rim can they ignore? Next one Vogel should lose his freaking mind and run into the floor and take a T just to show the team this is BS and these refs are freaking trash!

 

[clyde2tw]

As long as we keep the def. focus, our scoring power is mightier than theirs!

 

[Mainstreet]

Some halftime stats.

Nurk with 8 boards in the first half and I haven't had to re-learn how to spell the one guy's name tonight - Mount Zion ain't erupting neither - McWho? Dare I say defense? With an all time great performance by one Devin Booker? If I keep smiling is my face going to stay like this?

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Pelicans don't ride in the passenger side of their best friends ride either

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns need to continue playing defense.

The defense can always be there. Shooting comes and goes.

Good first half. Went a little stagnant there towards the end. Hate this but the refs were trash and influenced the trajectory of the game.

1. Book was on fire.

2. Beal played great defense on Zion. He didn’t try to crowd him, kept a distance and cut Zion off on where he wanted to go.

3. Willie Green could play Kang.

 

[Cheesebeef]

That was the best half I’ve seen all season. Let’s see if they can sustain this for 4 quarters.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns bench only produced 8 points, however, the Pelicans bench only produced 3 points.

Zion can be contained to some extent this way. Okogie did it last season. Both Beal and Oko are strong enough to still catch up with Zion after contact.

Here are the officials tonight.

Needed three by KD.

 

[Mainstreet]

Yes, Devin Booker gets the three.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

4 on Beal...

 

[Mainstreet]

Four fouls on Beal.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Amazing rebound and pass by Nurkic. Wow

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker gets the plus one but Nurkic was fouled on the other end.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Booker has the NBA Jams fire

 

[Mainstreet]

Oh my gosh... DEVIN BOOKER IS ON FIRE.

 

[Chaplin]

Superhuman

 

[Proximo]
