Chris Paul is PROBABLE for game 5.

Anthony Davis and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope are QUESTIONABLE.

Lets hope Phoenix fans can refrain from running on the court or throwing objects at the players...

It really feels like suns are due for a good shooting game.

but nothing about this series has gone as expected so far.

We all are. This is unofficially a must win game.

If they go back to Staples up 3-2 Lebron ain’t letting them lose.

The scary thing is that LA is due for a good shooting game as well, they've been pretty horrid from the 3pt line, even in games 2 and 3. They've had good looks as well, possibly even better looks than the Suns have had in the series.

 

[Hoop Head]

I'm much more relaxed about this game. I'm not worried about the series much, I'm confident we can take 2 of the next 3. I really don't want a game 7 vs LeBron though so it'd be nice to avoid that.

I'm thinking blowout. I just hope its in our favor.

Kuzma i have a bad feeling is going to do well tom im hoping pope remains out for la he is big for lakers

 

[95pro]

Now people are saying this Lakers team are similar to the Cavs team where LeBron has no help LOL

Seriously, these lakers fans will say anything

 

[Covert Rain]

You know what would throw the Lakers for a loop? Having a player like Cam just go off in this next game. They are going to focus on Paul, Booker and Ayton. Mentally....it would be a big hit because no matter where they turn someone is going off on the team.

A number of NBA Insiders give their take on the Suns-Lakers series in the linked article below.

This comment caught my eye.

By NBA Insiders ESPN:


Ramona Shelburne: Dennis Schroder. Schroder is supposed to be the Lakers' third-best player. In the Lakers' two wins, he absolutely has been, averaging 22 points and shooting 52% from the field, with the Lakers plus-11 in those minutes. In the Lakers' two losses, he has been a nonfactor, averaging 11 points on 40% shooting, with the Lakers plus-8.

And conversely, the Suns will need to make sure Dennis Schroder or another Laker not named Anthony Davis or Lebron James have a big game.

I find this interesting because it mentions the game within the game, alluding the to the dirty plays and officiating
