Pelicans @ Suns 4-5-19

[Mainstreet]

Overtime.

Crawford's last second miss was contested.

 

[Hoop Head]

Overtime? Well at least Igor didn't cost us the game. Was he animated enough for everyone at the end there? He showed emotion AND got a technical, isn't that what his critics have called for?

Joking...

Was it even a legitimate play, or was it another Igor special?

Gambadoro said we are going after Tobias Harris.

God I hope not. He’s not a good small ball PF and is the definition of any empty stats guy.

I’d rather keep Oubre and sign some cheap PF like Maxi Kelber or find a solution in the draft.

 

[Shaggy]

Jackson is on fire. Why wasnt he giving the ball at the end of regulation?

 

[Hoop Head]

Jackson has 32 points, 8 boards, and 5 assists. Really looking good tonight. These are the games that sort of reset the "Got to trade him" feeling he brings on so often.

Ask our "brilliant" coach.

Probably his best night now with 35 points.

 

[Hoop Head]

Jackson is playing like a legit starter if not a borderline star and Bender is playing like a legit starting Center. Melton is playing like a PF with how he's getting big offensive boards also. This is a weird game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are playing tenacious defense.

Weren't you a huge Tobias Harris fan a few years ago? What happened? And it wasn't that long ago that he was being hailed as the next big thing in Clipper town. I've always had mixed feelings about his play but even still, he'd be a big improvement for us. Probably not enough to take us anywhere but he'd make us better.

It's great to see Jackson play well but is anyone else a little sick to their stomach right now?

 

[Hoop Head]

Bender with 11 points, 10 boards, 7 blocks, and 6 assists tonight. Best game of his career, no doubt.


Shot 4-7 from the field, with his 3 misses being the 3 3's he attempted.

IIRC, Bender and Jackson triggered that third quarter comeback with their defense so I don't have a problem with it.

Final:

Suns 133 - Pelicans 126

No Jimmer tonight? That's a little surprising.

Good win, even if it was without the majority of the household names on both teams. Jackson, Bender, and Spalding all had career games for the Suns and given Jackson and Bender's draft position they should have huge games in these scenarios.

 

[SunnyBaller]

How did that lineup actually win a game?????

 

[Hoop Head]

The Suns won their home opener and home closer this year. Got to celebrate the small victories.

We lose this game if Jimmer came in.

Westhphal will enter the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

You had to have seen it to believe it.

::Championship!::

G-League Championship, maybe?

I was just going to post about that. Leander and Chambers started talking about it.

I don't know the Pelicans roster very well but looking at their roster and tonight's box score, they were as short handed as we were. I believe they were missing 5 of their top 6 minutes eaters plus others.

Well it's about time. Westy should have been in long ago IMO.

I got excited and visited Adrian Wojnarowski on twitter for details.
