Tough defensive battle so far, both teams battling. Me thinks this will come down who can score the most points when it’s all said and done. We’ll see.
Both teams having fun too.

Remember when Cam Johnson had a good shot?
He has a good fall still
One of the best. Always exciting.

Book has to step it up or we're gonna lose.
Not necessarily. They’re triple teaming him. The others need to get it done.

That's at least 3 hits to the head for Suns players by the Pelicans...after Ingram got hit in the head by a teammate and has a concussion. Craig may have one now.

I swear, Mikal always blue balls me into thinking he can become a true multiple all-star player and a proper running mate to Book…
And then he comes down to earth and becomes mid in the playoffs outside a couple of games.

That possession near the end of the third was beautiful. Loved the patience and ball movement, and of course the alley-oop finish was nice.

Encouraging to see us up 10 when Booker has been off (turnovers) and Paul has been nearly invisible. We play a lot better when Payne is hitting his shots & not turning the ball over.

Alvarado plays his heart out but the dude makes some dumb passes and just dumb shots.

He's Pat Beverley but doesn't say a bunch of dumb shit.

Perhaps our bench being dog shit was much exaggerated, maybe they’re just mid.

I mean, if you watch most of the league, nearly every bench is terrible. Some teams even have a terrible starting lineup (Lakers).

Bench has been a pleasant surprise this year. Payne getting back to his 2020 self and Landale/Lee being contributors has been the big reasons. Shout out to Torrey Craig who’s looked more like 2020-21 Craig than 2022 Craig as well.

Paul woke up in the 4th and has been dissecting the Pelicans' defense.

Weird Booker game, but man what a Mikal game. He was fantastic.

I love Bridges as a screener and short roll playmaker
