Lakers @ Suns Tuesday Playoff game thread 5-25-2021 - Game #2

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I don’t understand saric instead of Craig.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I really would have loved to see what a healthy CP3 would be doing to this Lakers team.

I think he’d have torn them apart.

 

[Proximo]

I think I was wrong. I think with CP3, we would be spanking these guys.

Booker wants to be a superstar, he’s got to be one in the second half if we’re gonna pull this out.

Yeah, we would be winning right now with a healthy CP3.

only thing good about this game so far is Lakers look very very beatable.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Being down only 6 at half is a testament to the grit of this team. The offense looks out of sorts with Paul's injury, but they are playing well on defense. If it wasn't for the offensive rebounds the Suns might be in the lead.

Ok, so they weathered the storm, now can they come out and put the pressure back on LA

 

[dscher]

Book has to just get aggressive if CP3 your sidekick is out or hobbled yo unwed to step it up! Book has not been sharp passing and led to multiple dumb TOs. And if we can make and better yet attempt some more theees that would be huge!

Hesitancy becomes contagious. We need a guy or two to start getting a little hot and others will follow imo.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

We can’t have Booker be our point guard. CP3 is obviously hurt. More Payne and probably Moore in some spot minutes.

Easy on Ayton, he essentially has to guard and Drummond, AD and Lebron. Also he’s the only one who can effectively challenge them as well.

Crowder picked up some Bs calls as well as Ayton on the AD drive.

Cam and Dario need to step up. I’m not sure why Craig isn’t getting more minutes.

This is my biggest criticism of monty in the playoffs right now.

 

[Mainstreet]

No one on the Suns has more than 2 rebounds.

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

We would probably be winning this game if Saric wasn't subbed in for Crowder early on. Saric has been been disaster at the 4. Craig should be the first one in.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Someone has to get some freaking rebounds not sure the numbers but seems like we have zero offensive boards.

You weren’t far off . . . 1.

lakers have 8 offensive boards.

that’s a killer disparity. Ayton needs to find his inner monster.

 

[Suns_fan69]

We can’t have Booker be our point guard.

Totally agree. Booker looked to be trying to facilitate a bit too much early and had a rash of turnovers. I wonder if he was psyched up that he was going to be doubled hard all game.

Once he decided to just attack he looked much more comfortable.

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ugh right off the bat 6-0 run

 

[Mainstreet]

Three fouls on Ayton.

 

[82CardsGrad]

With AD, Drummond and Lebron on the floor, the Lakers are SO much bigger than the Suns...

 

[dscher]

Too easy already. Poop

 

[thirty-two]

If you’re gonna foul him, FOUL HIM

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Book is crapping the bed

 

[AZ Native]

Great start to the 2nd half.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Well, this wasn’t the start we needed

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I don’t see a road back in this one fellas

 

[Mainstreet]

Paul has missed 2 free throws.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Have to take Paul out. He can’t play

 

[Mainstreet]

Terrible passing and turnovers.

 

[Evil Ash]

And we come out of the locker room comatose

 

[nashman]

Jesus why do we look so discombobulated can’t even make a crisp pass and just stupid turnovers...
