Suns @ Pelicans Friday game thread, December 26th, 2025

[Mainstreet]

Sometimes Gillespie rushes his shot.

 

[Proximo]

Not a very good half. Luckily New Orleans has been worse.

 

[Proximo]

I have never understood why more players don’t throw it off the backboard. For quick jumpers it’s almost cheating.

fun game tonight - be a lot funner with a 10 point lead but we keep dicking around- sometimes they double/triple book sometimes they don't- he needs to make them pay either way

williams and oso are having stellar defensive games - but williams is also rebounding and scoring

gillespie 3 for 5 from 3 - we wanna see him get up 10 attemps in the 2nd half

Crazy how better the depth is this year compared to last year. Having stars isn't enough if you don't have a good supporting cast. Hopefully we learned our lesson.

Gillespie's lobs were way off twice early and then he lost confidence and missed to pass to open MW in the paint. Goodwin was again passing too carelessly for TOs. MW is really good with soft touch in the paint, we need to explore his more. Fleming is athletic but raw.

That and a HC that isn’t afraid to use his bench.

Definitely. Or one that knows how to run a modern NBA offense

gotta focus and go on a real run but the pelicans play so random it's hard

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Isn't Williams 10 / 10?

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Odd that they posted on TV 10/10 but not on espn

 

[Mainstreet]

Ryan Dunn is AVAILABLE to return to play.

[Mainstreet]

I didn't see that Gillespie foul.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

we're playing defense and scoring - whatever we do at halftime usually works

 

[AzStevenCal]

I love watching this team when we get Impact Williams.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

I didn't see that Gillespie foul.

Same, there really wasn’t much there.

You must have been on Planet Earth.

brooker only 14 points combined

 

[clyde2tw]

Ott told Gillispie to watch for MW's whereabout, and made the perfect pass for the dunk that sent Pels into timeout
