Suns @ Pelicans Friday game thread 2-19-2021

Maybe so but Booker was at 23 for a long time.

I'll have to see when I re-watch. I remember a layup and free throw late (around the 2 minute mark) and another layup a few minutes earlier but maybe I'm wrong on that one.

It seems like mikal cam and Jae are never all playing well on the same night.

I like that Monty is now just riding the hottest of the bunch in the fourth lately.

Suns held Pelican to 12 points in 4th quarter.

I'm not going to dispute a couple of points. Booker was mostly quiet in the Suns comeback.

Great Defense in the 4th. Bridges on the bench the hole time.

Bridges hasn’t been a contributor in quite some time now.
He’s been invisible way more than he’s been a factor at any meaningful level... bummer...

Agreed, he was on the bench for that impressive second run until it became a 9 or 11 point lead. He did have an impact though when we stretched it to 19.

Crowder has been making his mins count! Huge contributions on both ends of the floor!

This is when the Suns started their amazing run, with Booker on the bench.

the reason for this is the ball movement is way better with booker out of the game - but that only works better when we are hitting our threes.

I got on a call with a friend with us down 7 in the 2nd and we just looked listless and was afraid we were on our way to blowout city. Finally got off the call at the end of the game and was STUNNED to see the score and then blown away to see the 4th quarter numbers.

wow.

great get back game to stop the bleeding and wash out the terrible taste in our mouths from the other night. Let’s get another manana!

It's no reflection on Booker but sometimes teams play better without key players being on the floor.

Portland is an example.

Chaplin mentioned it. It was kind of like the Nets game in reverse. This time the momentum swung the Suns way.

 

[Dr dumas]

And a good 4th from Ayton.

Played like crap the first three but the 4th quarter is what counts and he had a great 4th.

 

[Mainstreet]

It was nice way to purge the Nets game.

I was wondering what Chris Paul was saying after making a huge shot... "I know this place!"

This is amazing. I would have thought there were bigger comebacks but the Suns will take it.

There have been bigger comebacks, it's the comeback plus the margin of victory that makes it unusual.

Nice to see us lay some history on another team for a change!

I didn’t see the game, but just reading this and looking at the box score, it becomes clearer everyday to me that CP3 is the guy who belongs on the All-Star team to represent us this season. This team would still be middling to lost without him.

 

[Matt L]

I didn't get to see (stupid fox sports az) but lonzo looked pretty good in the highlights. It wasn't long ago that there were rumors that he was available for trade.

It is crazy to me that he is 35 and this effective

it’s also amazing how much better he looks in the last 10 games compared to the way he started the season.

yeah, Lonzo has become a pretty effective 3 and D player.

It’s just insane how much we won the cp3 trade for this team’s needs. We haven’t had a truly excellent pg for so long I’d forgotten how good they can be.

Anyone who compared CP3 to Rubio should be permanently banned. (All of the above)
