Suns @ Pelicans Thursday game thread, December 5th, 2024

[Mainstreet]

Tip-off.

 

[Mainstreet]

Royce fouls Ingram while shooting. The Suns can't afford foul trouble.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns fall behind 6-0.

 

[Mainstreet]

Beal finally scores as the Suns trail 8-2.

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin has hit two threes which helps.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with the Suns trailing 15-8.

 

[Hoop Head]

If I knew Dunn was out then I probably wouldn't have bet. The spread was 1.5 points so I figured $5 would make the game more exciting and at that spread it's essentially the same as moneyline.

Booker has back to back 52 point match ups against the Pelicans. Hope he goes for the trifecta tonight.

 

[Yuma]

They do have shooters. Would be nice to have Dunn out there to cover these guys.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns interior defense is simply not there.

 

[Yuma]

The Pels have some nice pieces. Too bad Zion seems like he is using up too many resources.

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin can't be shy about shooting tonight. The Suns will need his scoring. Same with Allen.

 

[Yuma]

Devin can't be shy about shooting tonight. The Suns will need his scoring. Same with Allen.

Tyus too. We are better when he looks to score.

 

[Mainstreet]

Royce ties the game at 17.

 

[Mainstreet]

Need Okogie to play like a PF tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

Grayson makes his first three.

 

[Mainstreet]

Okogie with a circus put back on a missed shot.

 

[Mainstreet]

I like the energy Okogie brings to the table.

 

[Mainstreet]

Oso is the only big man on the Suns bench, if Bol Bol doesn't play.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Pelicans 34 - Suns 33

 

[Mainstreet]

It's frustrating the Suns have assembled such a smallish team.

As I speak, Bol Bol enters the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bol Bol scores. We need production from him.

 

[Yuma]

We are really turning the ball over at a high rate. Only thing keeping New Orleans in it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Beal and Booker have 4 of the Suns 7 turnovers.

 

[Mainstreet]

And Bol Bol scores again. Even if he contests rebounds, he helps.

 

[Mainstreet]

Beal steps on a foot but he stays on the court.
