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

[Mainstreet]

Booker getting the foul calls too late by referees.

 

[dscher]

No Booker hurt momentum lol

game ended the second he came back in

Admittedly not watching much this year....this game reminds me of the old book days where you can't rely on his in crunch time and it's just better to stick with the hot hand. Felt like that at the end at least

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

actually we can, but it will take much better output from mikal and Jae.

I don’t see it.

 

[Beaver]

AD with 21 FTs lmao

 

[AZ Native]

What did I miss?

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Lakers 109 - Suns 102

 

[Cheesebeef]

Booker’s scoring line will look good, but his turnovers early and stumbling down the stretch killed us tonight.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Still an epic season regardless what happens

Go suns

Plenty of gms left

 

[Proximo]

I don’t see it.

Do you not see lebron is just a jump shooter?

These two games show they are not that good.

 

[Raindog]

Really, we just need Paul back to about 90%. No one can say for sure whether he'll be at that level the next game, or even the rest of the series. But it's not impossible, either.

what old days you talking about Booker has always been among the leaders in “clutch shots” I could name a handful of big time Booker shots just off the top of my head

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Credit the boys with fight. But loss of Paul is just freaking awful luck. Suns are cursed.

The ball out on knee was a killer ouch

 

[Chaplin]

Booker’s scoring line will look good, but his turnovers early and stumbling down the stretch killed us tonight.

Bridges being a no show is a big deal IMO.

 

[dscher]

What did I miss?

A pretty good game..

 

[Cheesebeef]

but he’s making the big shots. Young team on the road without their captain is a tall order.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Yup. With Booker needing to step up, he didn’t. Great game 1. Bad game 2.

 

[Finito]

Oh God

did Anthony Davis day the game 1 loss was on him? I haven’t heard

 

[Evil Ash]

What did I miss?

The suns playing about 1/2 of a good game and still being competitive.

The 1st qtr and the beginning of the 3rd killed us

We missed cp3 down the stretch

First few seasons in the league before Monty. Just a feeling I had while watching there at the end.

 

[Proximo]

Bridges being a no show is a big deal IMO.

yeah I don’t know what is going on.

need to run some plays for him to try and get him going.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Yeah, but a clutch shooter. And his gravity and passing makes a huge difference.

they aren’t as good as I expected with LeBRon not 100%. But with this Paul we aren’t the 2020-2021 suns.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Bridges being a no show is a big deal IMO.

sure. Absolutely. But he’s not the guy who needs to be the superstar, especially when CP3’s out.

 

[SirStefan32]

Suns got nothing out of anyone not named Booker or Ayton in the first half. Got something from Payne, Johnson, and Crowder in the fourth, and damn-near won the game. They can take a game in LA and win this whole thing. Neither James nor AD look right. Lakers didn't beat the Suns tonight- Suns beat the Suns.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Ugh nauseous little bit man only if paul was playing
