Vogel asked Beal if he wanted to guard Ingram or Zion. Beal said they decided to put KD on Ingram. So Beal had to guard Zion.

We just scored so much they couldn't bring the physical power aspect into the game
Book scored like the defense couldn't pay all their attention on him - slowed down once they concentrated but he opened other's up

I think we have a big 4 - Pelicans respected Allen on offense

Yeah, Allen is untradeable now. He is that good.
You're not wrong. Our bench sucks.

Better off silent
Book had 52 points. Bench is secondary to the big 3.

22 times Book has had 6 threes in a game.
Both played great D on them, that's the main reason for the win. Booker was very attentive to switches and held his own on D. We didn't give up open 3pt shots much that disrupted opponents' shooting touch severely.

I liked the quick double teams the Suns threw at the Pelican players when they entered the lane.
This is a wrinkle the Suns defense has been missing.

Just so you guys know that when it seems like Ouchie and I are “piling on”, we’re probably not even aware what the other has written. We just scarily share the same brain sometimes. Almost to the second, evidenced by tonight’s text exchange:

Didn't matter who was defending Book tonight, he was just on one. And when they started selling out on him hard, he got a LOT of open look for others. But, what was more impressive was how locked in the team was defensively. It certainly helped that NO was missing some makeable shots, but the effort and intensity was there from the jump. Great team win.

It was so incredibly obvious how the team bogged down and failed to score when book and Durant went hero ball. When they didn’t it was beautiful. Vogel should pull the two of them aside and show them that.

I’ll say this as well - this isn’t the type of team that is exciting athletically or with dunks, but when they play like tonight it is entertaining to watch just really fundamentally sound basketball. I guess that’s what being a spurs fan felt like. Not flashy - just always watching good basketball.
I have to look again but wasn’t it just a minute more?

Okay.
Crazy Zion had 24??? He looked like crap tonight but still put some through the hoop.
He had 12 in the first quarter. I thought he'd be a problem all night but he pulled an Ayton, of sorts. Active early and then didn't do much.

Mostly because Beal got into foul trouble with these BS refs…

Dude looks like a shell of what he was. He’s either the super version of Ayton who just doesn’t have the drive to be be truly great but is so stupid talented that he can still flash or his body is just one of those incredible marvels that just somehow can’t maintain the nightly pounding of professional sports.
