Suns @ Lakers Thursday Playoff game thread 6-3-2021 - Game 6

[95pro]

Harrell was the 2019-20 NBA NBA sixth man of the year with the Clippers. A team has to know how to use a player. He is a good rebounder, defender and can score inside. The Lakers have used him as an afterthought which has taken him away from his game.

Not to mention the energy he brings, rebounds and put backs. I will say this, lately he's been kind of a black hole when he gets the ball.
I'm wondering if its more of statement he's trying to make to the Lakers though, like, see you should have put me in.


Side note, isn't weird how Marris got playing time over Harrel.

82 game player not a 16 game player like DA. He got played off the floor by Denver last year.

No discussion of report that Paul wants to opt out of 44.2 and sign 3/100ish extension. I do that in a heartbeat and structure the money so I can give Payne 4/50ish this off-season.

I think Harrell fell out of favor with the Lakers and it is hard for him to get playing time and establish a rhythm. Morris is a better outside shooter so it shows the Lakers favors someone who can shoot outside over someone who they can feed inside.

Harrell is mainly a backup center and sixth man who can wreck havoc inside when a team realizes his limitations.

That’s a great picture, but not for Ayton. Other than on the bench I don’t think there’s a worse position to be in for rebounding purposes. Lol.

Bc he has a jumper. Lakers have been trying to play the spacing game with size all series.

Harrell is a crumb bum looter in a riot that cannot score when the chips are down and gets targeted on defense in the playoffs more than Enes Kanter. Lol Pelinka.

this racist trash has no business on this site.

This picture reminds me of what I have seen from Ayton lately. When he is jockeying for position and playing defense around the basket he has been keeping his arms close together at the chest with elbows extended naturally. My thought this is a way he has been trying to limit fouling.

He destroys guys that don’t get any run in the playoffs. He is like a louder Dario.

lol get real

Saric is the same

does the Laker Morris move and look older than the clipper Morris or is it just me?


I mean you have an energy guy willing to rebound and defend who’s hungrier than Morris.

What’s funny about the spacing is that the suns packed the paint anyway allowing no easy drives to the bucket.

I'm not getting the comparison. The Suns could use a louder more involved Dario.

In the stupidest way possible, he is saying he is stealing minutes. I am not sure that slang qualifies as racist here

yeah, maybe not but I’ve seen those kind of guys referred to as garbage men as basketball players. Never a crumb bumb looter in a riot.

If AD plays we should immediately run pick and roll directly at him with Booker in space. Let’s dance.

Yep. Force him in lots of side-to-side motion.

It's great for getting to makes quickly and a fast inbounds.

I don't know. He looks a minute or two younger to me.

I’ve always thought that. Is drafting markieff over Marcus solely due to height was a head scratcher at the time for me. Marcus had always been the more talented twin.

He wasn't early in their careers. Even with the Suns, Markieff was clearly the better player. They both went in opposite directions once they left the Suns though.

Cam Payne's signature move seems to be to attack the basket and score a layup without elevating at all (or slowing down at all). Because he does not jump, defenders cannot seem to time the block correctly. it is an interesting move.

Look at their college games - Marcus was better. I think it surprised a LOT of people that markieff went first (by a single spot if memory serves).
