Pelicans @ Suns Friday game thread 2-25-2022

[Mainstreet]

James Jone noticed Aaron Holiday back in the pre-draft process.

He said good players can suffer in the wrong environment.

He wants to stack wins but records take care of themselves.

 

[Mainstreet]

Here are the starters for the Pelicans.

[Mainstreet]

The Pelicans are a really big team. Suns centers will have to play better tonight, defend and rebound.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's getting close to tip-off.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton opens scoring with the SLAM. It was off a pick and roll.

 

[Mainstreet]

McCollum's shooting will be a problem. Now Pelicans have size and shooting.

 

[Mainstreet]

Hayes goes to the bench with 2 fouls.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with Suns leading 14-13 with Jae Crowder at the line for two free throws.

I like what I am seeing from Ayton so far.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chris Paul is on the bench.

 

[Mainstreet]

Payton enters the game playing beside Booker.

[Finito]

Turnovers

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Payton shoots an airball from three.

Missed it wide left too. Have to have some bad mechanics to miss that badly left or right.

 

[Mainstreet]

I think Devin is pushing too hard.

 

[Finito]

I think Devin is pushing too hard.

He just tried to go 1 on 2

He’s forcing it

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Pelicans 31 - Suns 22

Suns are missing another point guard.

 

[Proximo]

Not feeling good about this game.

The double team on booker is killing us.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns forwards are not involved enough.

 

[Finito]

Not feeling good about this game.

The double team on booker is killing us.

Him not passing out of it is killing us

 

[Mainstreet]

Needed 3 by Shamet.

 

[Mainstreet]

We are seeing point Shamet.

 

[Mainstreet]

Craig is down with right leg.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Omg, now Craig...
