Interesting! The Pelicans' last win was seven games ago . . .
against the Suns . . . in Phoenix. And this one is in New Orleans.

The crystal ball doesn't look too good for this one.

#Suns are listing Aron Baynes (calf strain) as doubtful to play tonight in New Orleans.

10:53 AM - 5 Dec 2019

As expected Baynes is out. No soup for you!

#Suns-Pelicans about to tip:
Phoenix starters: Rubio-Booker-Oubre-Saric-Kaminsky
New Orleans starters: Ball-Redick-Holiday-Ingram-Hayes
Nice ovation for former Pelicans coach Monty Williams, who is back in New Orleans for the first time as an NBA head coach.

5:07 PM - 5 Dec 2019

For the third telecast in a row, Eddie Johnson
is wearing his usual spiffy suit with an open
collar dress shirt.

I think it would look sharper with a designer
shirt vs. plain white. The plain white shirt
sorta defeats the informality of no tie.

I am all for the no tie, BTW.

 

[Mainstreet]

Pelicans open the game with a 3 pointer by Ingram.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns give up two layups in a row.

 

[BC867]

Booker rethinks shooting a '3' and Rubio misses his '3'.

Guards shooting 3's. Boring!

And the Pelicans jump out to an 11-4 lead,
including two layups.

Luckily Kaminsky hits his '3'.

 

[Mainstreet]

Pelicans are 3-3 from 3 point range early.

 

[Mainstreet]

I wish the Suns had drafted Jaxson Hayes (selected #8).

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Pelicans 40 - Suns 38

Dialo looks solid every time he’s in the game.

Bridges looking like the player the Suns traded for. He has 7 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam is on fire with 11 points (3-3) from 3 point range.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 74 - Pelicans 70

A real defensive struggle tonight.

Classic defensive battle.

Classic defensive battle.

If only the offense could show up now.

 

[BC867]

Here are the Suns scoring stats in a shootout half. Saric became an observer.

You must be registered for see images attach

Cam, Bridges, Diallo and Rubio with the plusses. Booker and Jerome with +1 each.

Man i hope suns defense pics up when ayton baynes return flat out embarrassing giving 70 pts to pelicans in first half

 

[Mainstreet]

Both Jerome and Okobo have received minutes at backup point guard. It will be interesting to who sees time in the 2nd half.
