Zion 6-8FGs for 15 pts in the 1st qtr. We're gonna have to figure out how to slow him down.

Rest of the Pels are 6-20

We can’t hit anything from outside

Nader sure does try. God bless him.

Jae Crowder should have to cut off a half inch of his hair every time he takes a step-back jump shot.

I knew this game was going to annoy me.

Ya, not sure why he ever takes that...it’s gotta be under 10% shot for him

He just shoots way too much.

Bridges getting that paint jumper to fall. His 3pt shot seems to be struggling lately though.

Needs to do that more and more. Great to see.

Cam is just not playing well. It’s not fair to ask him to guard Zion.

Again some awful refs out there

Cam's shot is still MIA

We clearly are making a conscious effort to whip the ball around which is more like the Bubble Suns but unfortunately we are not hitting
Another thing is CP3 hasn't come out aggressive tonight
Not sure if there's a way both these things happen at the same time though. I'm sure he will start attacking the PnR in the 2nd half

Suns would be up by 10+ if they just hit half of their wide open three point shots.

The need to make Zion a passer in the second half. None of their forwards can do anything with him on their own.

Not mine. I'm doing work on 2K!

4/21 from 3, luckily New Orleans isn’t much better, 3/14. A lot of wide open looks too.

Yea the offense looks good besides the shooting and I thought the Suns turned it up in the 2nd. Pels are tough tho and are defending well. Moore's been giving us some good minutes. He's a bigger combo guard with a good sense of things as opposed to Gallo and Carter who are really undersized SGs. Moore can run some offense or play next to Book in that Payne kind of role.

Felt like we made more of an effort to get in the lane coming out of one of the TOs in the 2nd. Bridges, Cam, Moore started driving a bit more trying to make the defense react which is a good sign. It should open up some shots if we keep it up.

If the Suns knew Saric would be out for this long they should have gone and gotten somebody with some bulk. They're getting manhandled again under the basket, especially with Ayton out.

Agree. Dump Jones and get a free agent in there. Heck, talk Marvin Williams out of retirement ...

They need to either make him a passer or an outside shooter in the second half. Letting post up their pee wee forwards just isn't cutting it.

Williams with another of his great halftime pep talks.
