Game Day: Pelicans (45-32) @ Suns (46-31), Sun 4/7/24

Post by Superbone »

Time: 3:00 pm AZ (3:00 pm PT/6:00 pm ET)
Place: Footprint Center, Phoenix, AZ
TV: AZ Family 3TV, NBALP

Booker’s favorite team to bury comes to the Footprint Center Sunday afternoon. Booker has scored 52 points in each of the last two games these teams have played. This game has large playoff implications. Phoenix is currently up one game on the Pelicans and a win on Sunday would make it two full games.

Good thing you guys are all on top of it. Did you guys know that there is a Suns game in less than two hours? (I'm recording the Caitlin Clark game. No spoilers here please. Use Marty's thread.)

Stop feeding Nurkic. That's all I have to say about this game today. Just fuckin stop it.
Jones and Vogel out, Lue or Lee in, draft Grant Nelson or Tyler Kolek.

Nukic is such a fuck. And when he misses or it gets blocked, he whines and mopes at the refs. He tries far too hard to do 1 on 1, like he takes his matchups far too personal or something.

What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Entry pass to Nurk = Pels fast break.

Good 1st qtr, bad 2nd qtr. Alvarado changed the game with his defense and the Pels all stepped up. Willie Green also went small taking JV out and we had trouble with their athleticism. We couldn't handle their pressure, ball movement stopped, bad TOs and they started hitting 3s. Think we were up by 12 at one point, now we're down 6 at the half.

No one on the Suns can stop Zion when he's engaged and getting the superstar whistle. This game was lost because McCollum and Alvarado shot a combined 12-20 from 3-point range.

No answer for Zion tonight. Beal with a great game, Book solid, KD meh. No one else played all that well. Had a chance late in the game to take the lead but couldn't hit shots, still no reliable offense to go to.

Had a bad feeling about this one, didn't watch much more than 8 min of the first quarter. 1 loss closer to getting rid of Frank LFG.

I thought Bol deserved more time in this one. He was disrupting shots and rubbing hard
