Game Day: Suns (16-13) @ Pelicans (8-23), Fri 12/26/25
Time: 6:00 pm AZ (5:00 pm PT/8:00 pm ET)
Place: Smoothie King Center, New Orleans, LA
TV: AZ Family 3TV/NBALP
Don't let the Pelicans record fool you. They had won five in a row before suffering a setback in Cleveland. Rookie Derik Queen has been playing fantastic basketball from the center position. Zion Williamson is also back and playing well. Grayson Allen will once again miss this one.

Yeah, DQ is real good. Not much of a defender but he'll surprise you on offense in the halfcourt if you're not careful. Zion had been coming off the bench which is interesting.
Go Suns!

Too many turnovers, many for boneheaded reasons, smh.
Now, Dunn is hurt. Time to play Fleming.

Just a frustratingly dumb game. Dumb refs, but even dumber mistakes by us.

Loved Book yelling at Ryan to score instead of running out the clock, I know he remembers that game a few years back against the pelicans where Zion did that nasty dunk to run up the score in the same situation lol. Love petty Book.

Geeez man
The guys really stressed me out just now
Glad I was watching on Playback so I could pause and go do something else when I was getting too annoyed
Jordan Poole.....
Alvarado is a nuisance yes but Poole is such a dumb player
His shot selection is atrocious and I couldn't believe we were losing to a team he's playing solid minutes on. It was only fitting that 107-106 with under 2mins to go
He airballs a 3, Collin comes down and scores on him then he goes Iso and turn it over. We score again to go up 5
Thank heavens cause dude just be flailing n flopping all over the place and was getting calls smh
Glad we got over the line
Having to watch him and Alvarado again tomorrow will take some energy
Sigh lol

I missed this one flying to Tucson for family holiday trip. But glad we got the W, and just wanted to say that I think Gillespie has become my favorite Sun. Am I insane? I love Book but nobody gets me jumping up out of my seat like Collin. Mark Williams has been awesome and is a close 2nd.

I'm glad Book got his mojo back in time for me to get his Funko. My sister in law lives in Minessotta and bought it for me in a sale. It's impossible to find it here, and I'll would be pissed if he was playing like shit still!
Re: Game Day: Suns (16-13) @ Pelicans (8-23), Fri 12/26/25
Let's go!
