Suns @ Pelicans Tuesday game thread 1-4-2022

[95pro]

Stix just needed some minutes and the opportunity.

He’s been so unfortunate. Last season to start he went down on preseason with I forget what. Then this year he got COVID when he had a chance. But now his chance is when both ayton and McGee are out. He’s stepping up as a center. Long ways to go before becoming a 4.

 

[Mainstreet]

Stix went to the locker room.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Johnson for three... two in a row.

 

[Finito]

Cam Johnson doing cam Johnson things

 

[Beaver]

Really hope we don't lose CamJ.

Elfrid Payton is terrible.

Really hope we don't lose CamJ.

Elfrid Payton is terrible.

EJ keeps talking him up, but I just don't see it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges for the layup plus 1.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Cam has taken the step this year.

Payne and Bridges not taking one forward and even sliding back a bit is what separates us from GS right now.

And of course, just as I say that he goes to bucket for a 3 point play.

 

[Cheesebeef]

EJ keeps talking him up, but I just don't see it.

Same.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Where was that foul on Stix?

 

[Mainstreet]

Now 3 fouls on Stix.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns need a handful of centers to guard Jonas.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Come on guys... let’s finish the half strong.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker is off on his shooting.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker with 3 fouls. They are roughing up the Suns.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 65 - Pelicans 54

Booker for three right before buzzer.

 

[Cheesebeef]

At least Book banged in that quick 5 to get the lead back up double digits to end the half.

 

[Mainstreet]

Some halftime stats.

[Mainstreet]

Three Suns have three fouls: Booker, Smith and Biz.

Suns don't have a lot of size especially with Jonas playing for Pelicans.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Book has to be smarter there.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Man... it’s tough to keep separation with so little depth and our guys getting in foul trouble.

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Book has to be smarter there.

Yeah just let him go. We’re gonna need one of Paul, Payne Bridges or Cam J to get going for us offensively.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Biyombo should be a permanent fixture on the team.

Good to see Bridges stroking it with Book out.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns have no help defense because they are worried about Jonas.

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Biyombo should be a permanent fixture on the team.

Good to see Bridges stroking it with Book out.

Agreed. I’d like to see Mikal get up to 15 a game. He can do it with how efficient he is. He’s just gotta be aggressive
