Lakers @ Suns Tuesday Playoff game thread 6-1-2021 - Game 5

Have to come out aggressive after half. Don’t get content. Let lakers know we are here until it’s done.

I have a feeling they're going to shut Lebron down in the 2nd half...

Big bad superhuman Lebron is so scary!

I mean he is in his 17th season.

he’s clearly not the player he used to be

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

If Bridges had hit that 3 this place would have gone berserk.

And it was halfway down.

It was half way down too.

 

[Finito]

What I do not want to see is this team get lazy and just chuck up 3s stay attacking

I assume he would at least come out to start the half, but could be shut down if it doesn't look like they are going to make a big run.

The lakers or the suns?

Do not let up lebron is capable of anything

Go suns unreal 1st half

And it was halfway down.

Booker's pass was out of the shooting pocket, otherwise I think Bridges would have canned it.

I would. I don't think he's at full strength.

Exactly. Keep the pressure on. We haven’t been great with that in these situations this season.

Lakers. We already know Phoenix is shutting him down.

Here's all you need to know: Cam Payne 14 pts, Lebron 7pts

Agreed. This is where you start getting some guys going in the lane to start drawing contact so we can get to the line for the easy stuff. DA will be important this next half for that alone imo

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Booker's pass was out of the shooting pocket, otherwise I think Bridges would have canned it.

Agreed. He was ready to jack it if the pass was online.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Exactly. Keep the pressure on. We haven’t been great with that in these situations this season.

Hopefully it being game 5 of a playoff series will make a difference here.

It was half way down too.

And it was half way down!

I can't tell you how hilarious this is at a Lakers bar. They showed up late as hell and are like "but how?"

 

[Mainstreet]

Craig's block on Lebron was amazing.

Did they just say we got 48 in the paint? That is crazy. Out on the patio smoking a cigar.. thought that is what I heard.

28 in the paint.

Superstar performance in the first half by Book. Now close the door on them RIGHT FROM THE START OF THE HALF! Hang 40 on ‘em Book. Eat their soul!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Interesting that lakers went deep into bench (8 players with double digit minutes and 58 minutes off bench compared to 27 for us) but Lebron played 20 minutes.

would be great if we can step on them in third and rest starters some in fourth.

 

[WisconsinCard]

28 in the paint.

Thanks I didn't think so with all the 3s.
