Game Day: Pelicans (1-6) @ Suns (2-3), Tues 02/11/21

[Split T]

I think we need to play more for the 3….at least early in the clock. I know Book and CP3 are both masters of the mid range game, but you’ve really got to be on for those to be efficient shots. It’s a great skill to have when your other options are denied, but we need to play more for the open corner 3s and shots at the rim.

It also puts a bit of a cap on the offense. I still remember the Bucks beating us because they basically let us do whatever we want in the mid range and just didn’t let us get the easy looks from 3 or at the rim. Booker developing a pull up 3 would really go a long way for this offense. Someday

[Split T]

Does Booker ever make the 2 for 1 shot? He always seems to miss.

I can’t recall it happening

[LazarusLong]

Second unit shooters -- Johnson and Shamet -- firing blanks.

[ShadowHawke]

Too bad there wasn't a Moses Malone to call out Chuck in 94 and 95.

[ShelC]

Kaminsky starting the 2nd half...

[The Bobster]

Booker needs to get it together. 9 points on 14 shots ain't cuttin' it.

[LazarusLong]

Kaminsky playing very well. Solid D on the Big V.

[Split T]

It’s to the point where I expect every Booker 3 to miss, it’s crazy

[Split T]

Frank our best player

[ShadowHawke]

Sit Booker.

[ShelC]

Frank was the missing piece. Who knew?

[Split T]

Frank was the missing piece. Who knew?

A big that can make a play on the short roll is quite nice. Would love Ayton to develop this.

[The Bobster]

McGee 13 minutes, -19 tonight.

Javale McShitforbrains

[ShadowHawke]

McGee can't cover on the perimeter.

[ShelC]

JaVale and Elf come in and the Pels go on a run.

CP, Book, Mikal, Cam and Frank looked great during the stretch and our spacing and ball movement was back where it needed to be.

[specialsauce]

Javale is not a rotation player. He’s a third center who gets situational minutes. Unfortunately so is Frank but at least Frank is more fluid and less disruptive

[Flagrant Fowl]

Ugly box score for Booker. I only caught the end of the half when he took a dumb 2-for-1 shot and then pulled an ole on defense and gave up a layup.

[Flagrant Fowl]

JaVale McCircus

That’s about 3 posters tonight for McGee
