Suns @ Pelicans Tuesday game thread 3-15-2022

Timeout Monty jeez

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Monty so awful with the timeouts

 

[Finito]

Suns getting lazy

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Monty doing Monty type things...

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Ayton finally an excellent box out

 

[Finito]

Watching the Pels broadcast they just mentioned Phoenix backpedaling slowly after they score letting the Pelicans beat em down the floor

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 67 - Pelicans 59

Nice close to half after letting Pelicans back in the game.

 

[Cheesebeef]

That was a fantastic pass by Ayton at the end. Nice to get back a little of that lead after sluffing off when we pumped it up to 14.

 

[Finito]

Pretty damn good bounce pass by Ayton and moving without the ball by Bridges

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Ayton / McGee combine for 3 rebounds in 24 minutes.

It's just not good enough

 

[Mainstreet]

Tom Chambers says the Pelicans will beat the Lakers if they meet in the play-in. I agree.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I fully believe that if Ayton / McGee.combine for 16 rebounds a game this team wins every night.

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Book has it going. He forced a couple late but had pretty good shot selection in that half. DA needs to get more than 3 rebounds. I don’t understand how a 14 point lead drops to 2 and Monty doesn’t call timeout!?!? I would’ve called it when they cut it to 10. All in all, I’ll take being up 8 at half on the road.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns need to get more than 7 points from their bench: McGee 4, Craig 3.

 

[Mainstreet]

Pelicans with 22 rebounds, Suns 13.

 

[Mainstreet]

Some halftime stats.

27-2 when DA has 9+ rebounds in a game….that’s over 90%.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns lack of rebounding is becoming a problem.

 

[Mainstreet]

There it goes again.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Not crazy with our D tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

Three fouls on Bridges could hurt.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Monty needs to get this team’s head out of its ass on D

 

[Chaplin]

Nobody crashes on shots.

 

[Mainstreet]

Pelicans crashing the boards and McCollum hitting threes. Suns have no answer.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Nobody crashes on shots.

Everyone wants to score so they are running back.

It's a mindset at this point
