Pelicans @ Suns Sunday Playoff game thread 4-17-2022 - Game 1

[Mainstreet]

Step on them.

CP3 is such a basketball savant. Dare I say he has a better basketball brain than Steve Nash?

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Chris Paul has been unbelievable. This 4th has been his game. He’s dominating and controlling everything. This is unreal. We were teetering and he just slows everything down.

 

[MrYeahBut]

Paul's game is a thing of beauty tonight

 

[Chaplin]

The beauty is if the Pels start defending him different that opens the door for someone else. Rhymes with “Took”.

I think for all-around I say yes. Nash might have been a flashier passer and better shooter but CP3 is wayyyyy better defensively and as you said a savant in his own right.

 

[Mainstreet]

Mikal.

McCollum pushes off every play. Extended arm too.

 

[Mainstreet]

McCollum was pushing off on drive.

 

[Chaplin]

17 point game with 4:25 left. Looking good.

 

[Dback Jon]

16 point lead 4 minutes

 

[82CardsGrad]

Good timeout there Monty.

He's the smartest player we've ever had and that's hard to say for someone that was a diehard Paul Westphal fan.

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Valanciunas has 19 rebounds, DA has 7…..over the course of the series, we can still win but DA has to be better.

 

[Dback Jon]

Ayton hurt

 

[Mainstreet]

I hope Ayton is okay.

 

[Dback Jon]

Flagrant foul should be

 

[mjb21aztd]

Dammiiitt please be ok ayton jeez

 

[Dback Jon]

That should be flagrant two ejection

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

That’s a flagrant 2

 

[Mainstreet]

That should be a suspension as well.

 

[Chaplin]

Definitely flagrant something.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

THATS SOME ********

 

[Dback Jon]

********. Refs hate the suns
