Pelicans @ Suns Tuesday Playoff game thread 4-26-2022 - Game 5

[Mainstreet]

Suns need a PF beside Ayton.

 

[Finito]

Great pass by Ayton and good moving without the ball by Crowder

 

[SirStefan32]

Ayton is playing like Shaq! I love it!

 

[Mainstreet]

Nice fast break off defense.

Suns lead 14-8.

 

[Finito]

DEFENSE LEADS TO OFFENSE!!

Now keep it up.

 

[dscher]

Great start! I'd still love for Ayton to not be such trash under the bucket on rebounding...

 

[nashman]

Like the energy so far

 

[nashman]

Keep passing playing Suns ball move it around and score don’t get stagnant

 

[Proximo]

Like what I’m seeing. This looks like the suns.

 

[Covert Rain]

This looks more like our Suns!

@Ouchie-Z-Clown - here we are at the 6 minute mark, and I got the DA / Jonas matchup at a virtual standstill... With one time DA guarding Jonas at the hoop, Jonas misses and guess what, NOBODY picked up the weakside and Hayes had the put back...
Jonas also had a nice put-back another time when DA should've done a better job boxing him out. And another time DA did just that and kept Jonas from the rebound...

 

[Finito]

Basically what I’m looking for are possessions where Ayton is playing how any other center plays (like guarding his assigned man) verses plays where he’s clearly playing away from the basket because we ask him to defend differently than other centers (which I agree, but I don’t believe it’s to the extent y’all do when excusing his poor rebounding and denying Jonas). I mean, that’s the crux of y’all’s argument. Correct me if I’m wrong.

But his rebounding is not “poor” he’s literally averaging more than the regular season in this series.

I wouldn’t call that poor at all. Even your whole he got 9 rebounds and not his average 10 that’s still not “Poor”

It’s not gonna matter

 

[Finito]

No. But go ahead and tell more lies. I’m just capable of finding cracks in any players game. None of them are infallible in my eyes like Ayton’s fanboys.

Nobody is telling lies and nobody said Ayton is perfect

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Johnson finished that drive.

 

[Finito]

Cam is attacking

 

[82CardsGrad]

Interesting to see Willie Green take Jonas out at the 6 minute mark. Monty follows up taking Ayton out at the 5:20 mark...

 

[Mainstreet]

Chris Paul looking good.

 

[Finito]

Pass it out McGee

 

[Finito]

Starters looked great now is the test how’s this bench going to look

 

[thirty-two]

We are getting so many calls lol

 

[82CardsGrad]

Jonas back in at 3:30...

 

[Cardsfan77]

Holliday please Monty

 

[82CardsGrad]

And DA back in as well... WITH MaGee!!

 

[thirty-two]

Another Payne layup miss.
