Game Day: Pelicans (5-9) @ Suns (7-6), Thurs 11/21/19

Post by Superbone »

Time: 8:30 pm AZ (7:30 pm PT/10:30 pm ET)
Place: Talking Stick Resort Arena, Phoenix, AZ
TV: TNT

Not the best time for our national TV debut. It's a tough time for the Suns injury-wise. Rubio and Baynes are out. Cam, Kaminsky, and Saric are banged up. Jerome is still a couple weeks away. The Pelicans aren't in great shape either though. Favors, Hart, Miller, Williamson out. Ball and Okafor questionable. Should make for a compelling game.

Go Suns!!!

It should at least be a fun game, since the Pels play fast but don't play defense.

If Ball plays, we could struggle with to guard both him and Holiday. If Okafor plays, we don't have anyone who cant match up with him inside.

But Booker / Oubre is still the best 1-2 punch on the court, so I expect we can win this one.

Keep an eye on Jaxson Hayes. Real active rookie big who could hurt us. Played well last game. I picked him up in our fantasy league along with Melli just for tonight's game... :grimacing:

Diallo needs to play more tonight.

Saric and Kaminsky on the court together is an awful combo.

Only when they are not hitting their shots (I know, happens a lot).

You mean when they aren’t hitting their shots and we are getting killed on the boards.

FYI, I may be offline for a few days. Birthday tomorrow and our first baby born anytime between now and December 2nd! If not late, of course!

this will be an amazing time. You won't remember much of it once he/she is there, because you will be a zombie, so take a lot of pictures. I mean, way more than you think you should. Way more than is healthy. You will thank yourself later.

the moment my first born was set on the warming table and her face was wiped clean, her lids opened and we just locked eyes for what seemed like forever. It was probably only a couple seconds. And I know she couldn't really see me or focus on my face because it was too far for her little eyes. But I will never forget that moment.

congrats spiveyisgod. :)

Zero defensive resistance so far.

Other than having 3 of our top 6 out with injury/suspension?

Saric is awful at finishing at the basket.

Someone mentioned in the last game thread that Okobo was a shooting guard previously. Well he ain’t good at that either :lol:
