Game Day: Pelicans (2-1) @ Suns (2-1), Tues 12/29/20

[Flagrant Fowl]

Is Joe Klein still alive?

Forget it. His corpse would do.

[Oatmeal]

Pels know they can get shots in the paint all night, we gotta hit 3s to stay in it

I would've expected them to watch the Kings games.

[Wally_West]

Good start.

[Oatmeal]

We missed Dario.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Dario is rusty like I expected he'd be, but he's still a huge upgrade over the Jones/Smith/Kaminsky option.

[ShelC]

I like the pieces we have, just need more time to get better. Having Dario off the bench makes a difference, tho we'll be undersized with just him getting minutes. The bench runs the 0.5 offense well and plays hard defensively. They gotta hit shots tho.

[Wally_West]

Payne guarding Zion effectively???

[Oatmeal]

Payne boxes out Zion, gets the board buries the 3 on the other end. Love it.

[Flagrant Fowl]

LOL. SVG just sonned Reggie Miller when asked about the Pels "low" 4 turnovers in the first quarter.

[Wally_West]

Reggie Miller is annoying.

“They need to get the ball down low to Ayton”

They have have been trying, Reggie

[AmareIsGod]

Cam Payne can ball.

[Oatmeal]

I'm liking this always having shooters on the floor to keep everything open. Nice to watch

And Ayton

[Flagrant Fowl]

I don't even care that he doesn't dunk it at this point. Catching the ball and putting up a decent shot is now the bar.

[Wally_West]

Other than putting Payne on him, I don’t know how you can guard Zion. He’s a monster.

Hack him.

[Oatmeal]

What happened to Carter's shot?

[Flagrant Fowl]

Cam Payne can ball.

I was listening to the Locked on Suns podcast this morning and the host was talking about the future PG and never brought up the possibility of Cam Payne. Seemed like an obvious talking point he missed to me.

[specialsauce]

Extend Cam Payne. I’ve seen enough. This kid is a winner. If he’s willing to lock in long term at a reasonable rate (7-8 m) you can’t let him go.
