LAL/GSW to face PHO

[Proximo]

Is Damian jones a free agent?

as much as he sucks he would still help us against the Lakers.

why? Game 1 is what worries me the most because of the experience factor. It’s why I think we have a chance to get spanked because we’ll put ourselves behind the 8 ball immediately and then press in Game 2.

Yeah, that game 1 is critical. Suns have to take that game to have a good shot at the series. Go down 0-1 on homecourt with a young team and I think it'll be a short series.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I just think the Lakers will be overconfident. But they will figure it out by game 2.

that might happen for a half, but we could also come out too amped up or tight.

look... I PRAY you’re right. I just don’t see it.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Key for the Lakers in this game was playing Anthony Davis at center and putting the screws down on defense.

Yeah, GSW played Drummond out of the game. If they go with Davis at the 5, Ayton has to be able to go at him and make him work on defense.

 

[Proximo]

One thing that will be critical is book and Paul splitting double teams. They don’t do that nearly enough.

 

[Cheesebeef]

This just bums me out. I’ve just been getting kicked repeatedly in the junk in every way possible so far this year and the Suns were the one great escape most nights this year. A constant bright spot during a very dark period.

was really looking forward to a fun month or two of basketball. Now, I’m grabbing a cup to get ready for another kick in the junk.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Yeah, GSW played Drummond out of the game. If they go with Davis at the 5, Ayton has to be able to go at him and make him work on defense.

good one.

 

[Cheesebeef]

First time a 7 seed is ever favored over a 2 seed.

 

[GatorAZ]

This is the Devin Booker series. There’s other important factors but if he doesn’t take over games offensively we’re toast.

 

[Suns_fan69]

good one.

Well we can dream, can't we?

 

[95pro]

that might happen for a half, but we could also come out too amped up or tight.

look... I PRAY you’re right. I just don’t see it.

We have three guys who have experience in CP3, crowder and Craig.

X factor is book. Can he keep his emotions under control. And can DA stay out of foul trouble.

Payne has some experience from his okc days? I’m not sure.

 

[nashman]

It’s pretty sad with the ridiculous talent the Lakers have they still get bs calls which allow them to win games. For Christ sake their team is stacked and you still feel the need to help them? And Lebron and his bs I saw three rims shut the hell up they even said in the broadcast longest shot made in your career in the final 3 minutes, it was a throw up a prayer shot. Like he ever makes those crazy long 3s. The Lakers got lucky and some help. Hopefully the zebras can control their BS calls and the Suns can challenge them. It is just horrible luck the suns get a 2 seed and Lakers wind up with the 7 just another terrible break in suns history I guess!

Is Damian jones a free agent?

Damian Jones was playing for the Kings in their finale. He scored 19 points and had 5 rebounds.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Well we can dream, can't we?

Sure... but I think this looks more like a nightmare.

Man if Curry couldn't pull it off don't know what Book is gonna do.

 

[elindholm]

Well, suns do have one thing going for them - Barkley picked the Lakers.

Sure, but what did Jared Dudley say?

 

[Proximo]

Damian Jones was playing for the Kings in their finale. He scored 19 points and had 5 rebounds.

Was he under a 10 day contract?

probably doesn’t matter, because A. Jones is to dumb to see the issue, and B. playoff rosters are probably already set.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Man if Curry couldn't pull it off don't know what Book is gonna do.

I expect a very frustrating series for him.

that was such a classic Lakers at death’s door tease game.

 

[Hoop Head]

This is the Devin Booker series. There’s other important factors but if he doesn’t take over games offensively we’re toast.

If bubble Booker shows up then I like our chances. He'll need to play at that level for us to see the second round.

 

[nashman]

Hopefully Monte has saric and Frank use all their fouls on AD because we all know DA ain’t up to it on his own!

 

[GatorAZ]

Man if Curry couldn't pull it off don't know what Book is gonna do.

Book doesn’t draw near the attention Steph does. He’s going to have plenty of opportunity to light it up.

Also Mikal needs to dial up his inner Bruce **** Bowen and nail those corner 3’s.

The same guy who started the season with the Suns, you mean, and most of this board was happy to see him leave? Because it was more important to keep six extra undersized combo guards who will never play?

 

[Mainstreet]

Man if Curry couldn't pull it off don't know what Book is gonna do.

Devin Booker has a better supporting cast with Chris Paul. The key is which Deandre Ayton shows up.

 

[Proximo]

If bubble Booker shows up then I like our chances. He'll need to play at that level for us to see the second round.

the best thing booker can do is pass early and often out of double teams.

 

[Mainstreet]

Was he under a 10 day contract?

probably doesn’t matter, because A. Jones is to dumb to see the issue, and B. playoff rosters are probably already set.

I'm sure the Suns released Damian Jones for a reason.
