This is not the best news. Let's hope he is okay to go.

It was unprofessional to walk off the court no matter how they try to spin it.

 

[Muggz]

What a game! Crowd was Nutz. Its been soo freakin long since i've seen that kind of energy in the arena.

Shout out to Bridges tonight with 3 steals, 2 blocks and 3 3ptrs!

Couldn’t have asked for much more. Let’s finish them at Staples.

coulda asked for Paul not go down in a heap! Otherwise I agree.

End this in 6. Hope Denver goes 7. Give CP3 5 days rest before Game 1 round 2.

One could tell Paul was worried about his shoulder by his immediate reaction. There wasn't any extra contact.

This and hope Denver wins. Paul will have much easier matchups against them compared to Portland. I'd also like to avoid playoff Dame.

I kinda hope LA keeps it within 20 just to get more mileage on Lebron.

He still played 32.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Big bad superhuman Lebron is so scary!

He played pretty well, 6/10 from three, but he can’t take every shot and play every position on defense. He also cannot account for our elite energy.

same. Even though we’ve handled Portland this season, Dame is still terrifying. Murray-less Denver doesn’t scare me as much.

we came out with our hair on fire. Was great.

True, but he could certainly come out with more energy and a more aggressive mindset in hopes that his teammates would follow suit.

Instead he came out being passive and happy to take threes instead of attacking the basket.

Booker on the other hand came out super aggressive and set the tone for all the other players and they all followed suit.

Good win.

IMO CP3 took a bit of a flop. LeBron was starting to make shots and the lead went down to a 24/26 point lead? It helped stopped the momentum the Lakers were starting to get. It was a good “timeout”.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Lakers starting guards scored zero points.

LeBron with a -24, worst on his team.

AD would have not made the difference in this game.

Suns were up 33 when CP3 "flopped". His free throws made it 80-45 (35 point lead).

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

BS you know they are trying to play Paul physical hoping for just what happened. How about if crowder kicks AD in the junk the next game that would just be accidental right or retaliation for when AD did it to him lol

It is ironic that AD is out with a bad groin after that stunt in Game 2.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

How is DA NOT dominating this game??

Perhaps you noticed the acres of space we were attacking all game? Direct byproduct of their fear of DA.
