Suns @ Pelicans Sunday Playoff game thread 4-24-2022 - Game 4

[Chaplin]

They do have one on the bench in Holiday.

Now that’s using the term “scorer” loosely.

But wWillams isn't going to.play him. With Landry more miss than hit. It wouldn't hurt to start Holiday in the 3rd and see if he can do anything

 

[Proximo]

Suns are actually even on the boards and shooting 10 percent better.

should be ahead by more than 2.

believe it or not NO is shooting worse from 3 than us.

It's a bit redundant but I would play Payne with Holiday.

 

[DJ Tabooh]

If someone wants to take a folding chair and hit Alverado in the face WWE style, I would not fault them for it.

This is the perfect game for Holiday. CJ and Devonte Graham primarily play the 1 and Alvarado is the third guard off the bench. He’s an irritant.

You’re telling me Holiday can’t give you a 5 minute stretch of just annoyance and possibly get a few baskets?!?

The refs are keeping them in the game

 

[82CardsGrad]

30-28 rebounds. Encouraging to be only 2 down. The Pels have 3 more offensive rebounds than we have so that’s the difference.

I see 22-22 in rebounds?

 

[Proximo]

Pelicans don't foul.

It’s not that, they drive hard, only cam Johnson drives hard on the suns.

 

[Chaplin]

I see 22-22 in rebounds?

I probably read it wrong. App says 22 rebounds, 6 offensive for the Suns. I didn’t interpret the 22 as the total of all rebounds.

 

[Proximo]

Not buying that, they are less content shooting jumpers than the suns.

 

[Mainstreet]

It’s not that, they drive hard, only cam Johnson drives hard on the suns.

It's like Cam Payne has become reluctant to drive and take the punishment.

Bridges will drive when he gets an opening.

 

[az240zz]

I would also move Johnson back to the 6th man.

 

[Dback Jon]

Suns have driven the basket been down and no fouls have been called

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I don’t understand why we don’t post bridges when he has McCollum guarding him. He showed during the season the ability to post shorter players. Make McCollum on the defensive end. He mostly just sits and watches as bridges just sits in the corner.

 

[Proximo]

Yep, he throws up 10 foot floaters if it looks like there is going to be any contact.

Phoenix has fouled after giving up offensive rebounds as well, preventing easy baskets. I feel like that's happened at least 3 times. Gotta clean that up

 

[82CardsGrad]

Payne is a serious liability… At least if he’s not turning the ball over, he can be acceptable… but he’s been a wreckless turnover machine.

 

[Mainstreet]

Some first half stats.

Really who? Crowder once maybe.

He looks like the guy that was forced to play in China.

 

[Mainstreet]

It didn't use to be that way.

 

[Mainstreet]

Another foul?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Dude we take like the fewest FTs in the league or close to it. It’s not our game. There’s no league wide conspiracy to deny suns free throws.

 

[Mainstreet]

Good job DA.
