Did Capela just blow out his knee via flagrantly fouling someone else?

 

[Phrazbit]

Wow... they didn't call that a flagrant foul? That is laughable, refs felt bad because he hurt himself.

 

[Finito]

Trae Young makes so really head scratching passes

It was an obvious flagrant foul from my perspective.

 

[Finito]

Young gonna take over this 4th

 

[Mainstreet]

Garland had the shot at the top of the key.

 

[mjb21aztd]

To bad good try cavs feel for garland good young player will make poffs soon

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm surprised Kevin Love didn't play more for the Cavaliers.

 

[Proximo]

Glad the suns don’t have to play Atlanta in the first, they are a really dangerous team.

 

[Proximo]

The pelican lineup is really big. We are going to need to run on this team.

Ingram is a real problem at forward as I anticipated. The Suns will have a problem matching up with him if the Pelicans prevail.

I highly disagree the Cavs have no offense at all

Cleveland has a good young team.

Cavs get: Lebron
Lakers get: Evan Mobley, Kevin Love
2023 #1

It works out money wise. Lebron goes home where they will kiss his ass till the day he dies and probably even draft his kid.

Lakers get a good young prospect and can start the rebuild.

Yeah and the Cavs would be stupid to do that deal. You don’t give up a young stud like mobley for a 38 year old with a year or two left.

 

[Folster]

Our guards should be able to abuse Valanciunas in the pick and roll.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Pelicans found a solid backup point guard in Jose Alvarado who went undrafted.

 

[Proximo]

Our guards should be able to abuse Valanciunas in the pick and roll.

Yeah, I’m not really to worried as long as we shoot a decent percentage.

their size is going to hurt us mostly on the boards.

and this game is already over, clips do not have the offense without George to win.

Clips play well from behind. I wouldn't count them out just yet. They had a ton of comeback wins last playoffs.

In February, the Suns didn't match-up well with the Pelicans with Ingram being a particular problem and the Suns tried to play big.

Chris Paul was out at the time.

Yeah they killed us on the boards and we shot 43 percent, and 30 percent from 3 While taking 40.

we will lose most games if we shoot like that.

I happened to be checking out stats on Reggie Jackson who I think is underrated. He turns 32 tomorrow.

I'd absolutely love that deal if I were a Lakers fan. I'd be apoplectic if I were a Cavs supporter.

 

[Dback Jon]

Not sure who I want to win

Pels choking it away a bit
