Go Pels.

Without Booker it’s not going to be easy for the suns

I blame Scott Foster.

Wait, he's not reffing? Damn.

He will probably ref game 5…40-12 free throws

Nance was the perfect replacement for Hart. Dude's a worker.

ninjacookies · 04-24-2022, 11:14 PM

Alvarado has completely dismantled CP3's confidence and soul.

I'll take 'Things one never anticipates happening in their lifetime' for 500 please, Alex.

Chris Paul got Mobb Deep'ed. He shook.

Unwrapit · 04-24-2022, 11:16 PM

Paul doesn’t look too happy and Booker is ready to enlist, Suns gotta step up next game

Rebounding. This is not going to be an easy problem to fix. Suns are going to have to match the energy.

rippev · 04-24-2022, 11:16 PM

42-15 free throw attempts.

Kingofkings1281 · 04-24-2022, 11:16 PM

So is it Zion not being able to play, or is it the Pelicans not wanting him to?

Destruction. I don’t remember watching a game with one team having this big of a free throw difference and have more FG attempts

Zedlaw · 04-24-2022, 11:21 PM

Got the split on the road. Bring it at home boys

ninjacookies · 04-24-2022, 11:23 PM

I was so adamant that the Suns would steamroll the Pels sans Zion and regardless of injury because of their regular season dominance.

I'm eating extra servings of crow. And damn it shol' tastes good.

Ferg1945 · 04-24-2022, 11:24 PM

I'm sure this doesn't factor in...but

The Suns are 2-4 in Playoff games since they changed the name of the Arena to Footprint Center.

Saraste · 04-24-2022, 11:24 PM

NOP played with the heart that the Hawks wish they had. Don't care if Booker is out or not. Since the McCollum trade, the Pels have not looked or played like an 8/9 seed. Having said that, I think the Suns will win game 5 in blowout fashion.

I'll be watching the game expecting to see Zion with a WWF style run in at any moment.

My Gawd.... what will happen if somehow round 2 in the West is Zion vs Luka!!!

Blowout will be split and it'll be the biggest meltdown we've ever seen around here.

Zedlaw · 04-24-2022, 11:33 PM

Not having that second ball handler in Booker is really showing. You hound Paul and the entire offense falls apart. Need to play faster. There’s no reason to have Paul walk it up the court. They simply can’t breakdown a set defense regularly. Let Payne get it up the court fast and get Johnson and Bridges cutting. After that Paul and Ayton can slow things down. But this has become a nightmare matchup. Nola’s strengths lineup very well against the Suns weaknesses. Bridges needs to step up. I just can’t get over how terribly the Suns rebounded

hairyangryfella · 04-25-2022, 12:47 AM

From the end of last year's Finals, I've been rooting for the Suns this year. But now there's that little possibility of Zion coming back next round (which, let's be honest, isn't happening... but there's a chance...) and I've kinda changed to wanting the Pels to advance!
This year is pretty much anybody but Philly for me. Preferably not a Bucks B2B but Giannis is that good and likeable that it's ok. And of course I'm assuming the Nets do get knocked out first round...

In order to win it all I'd probably like it to be:
Suns
Hawks (lol)
Grizzlies
Warriors
Heat
Nuggets
Celtics
T'Wolves
Raptors
Pelicans
Bucks
Mavs
Bulls
Jazz
Nets
76ers

gomiamigo · 04-25-2022, 10:08 AM

Let's check in our the most overrated player, how'd he do yesterday?

3-11, 5 turnovers, -27 in a 24pt home loss. Looked like a dime store Kevin Knox.

But hey, he's played 1.5 good quarters out of 16!

Nothing funnier than BO and IG bois complaining that his cards aren't as highly valued as Luka, lmaoooooooooooooo.

indyguy · 04-25-2022, 11:00 AM

Do we get a vintage KD game tonight?

Is Embiid hurting enough that Toronto can capitalize?

Can't wait to see the games tonight!!

brothertona · 04-25-2022, 11:05 AM

Remember that time Embiid lost and cried like a bitch, then the following year got eliminated by that overrated guy?

sportzluvr1 · 04-25-2022, 11:27 AM

Call me crazy, but Zion added to this starting 5 (in place of Hayes) is a legit contender to make the finals this year.

I've stated this prior, but really a shame to the city and NBA fans.
