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

[82CardsGrad]

Jonas with 25 rebounds… 13 offensive boards… that’s domination. Wow…

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I'm sick of opponents injuring our players in the playoffs. Ayton probably has a concussion. ******** that was incidental. Dude launched his shoulder into DA's jaw.

I wonder if the home office will review that? If I were the suns I would send that in and complain. He’s got eyes on Ayton the entire time, unnecessarily walks into his path and jumps for absolutely no reason placing his shoulder in Ayton’s head.

 

[Russ Smith]

Ayton isn’t right… wouldn’t be surprised if he either had a concussion, or a broken jaw… or both.

valanciunis hit him in the face on that putback. I don't think it was intentional he has a weird habit of flailing when he shoots but he hit Ayton right in the face it looked like.

CP3 was unreal in the 4th

5 to 25 disparity in offensive rebounds.

TWENTY FIVE OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS.

Living dangerously

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns need to watch tape on Valanciunas (18 points and 25 rebounds). He doesn't do this to other teams.

 

[Finito]

Our rebounding is going to be a problem

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns may have to get nasty if Pelicans are going to throw elbows. No more Mr. Nice Guy.

Good 1st w to start poffs

Mr cp3 was awesom so was book da

420 puff to w

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder with only 1 point, 1 rebound and 1 assist. If he wants to be a power forward he needs to play like one.

 

[95pro]

Horrible third. Craig and Payne weren’t great. Where’s our bench depth? Monty going back to playoff Monty.

That was a cheap shot on aytons jaw. Why did he jump? Just run by if you’re going to guard someone else.

Crowder sucks.

 

[Mainstreet]

Torrey Craig with 0 points, 0 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and a costly turnover.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns may have give Biyombo some minutes at power forward.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Torrey Craig with 0 points, 0 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and a costly turnover.

Having his bucks poffs champ nvm hangover i guess still .... ughh

 

[Vacard]

Payne, Cam, and Craig has to be better. Suns need to box out.

 

[Mainstreet]

Having his bucks poffs champ nvm hangover i guess still .... ughh

I don't think he has been there to have a hangover. He last played for the Pacers.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Rebounding is going to cost this team the championship. They got destroyed on the boards 55-35...that's concerning.

I thought he got a ring cause he was on bucks a littl?

 

[Mainstreet]

I thought he got a ring cause he was on bucks a littl?

Yes. He was entitled to a ring. I'd guess he accepted.

 

[Raindog]

Suns may have give Biyombo some minutes at power forward.

I was going to say they need to get Biyombo in there, if just to put some hard fouls on Valanciunas, Nance, etc.

But Monty probably going to Monty and make things tougher on us... sigh.

Rebounding is going to cost this team the championship. They got destroyed on the boards 55-35...that's concerning.

I hope trading for Torrey Craig isn't the price.

 

[Mainstreet]

I don't think Monty shrinking the rotation is a good idea. Suns need to look at who didn't come to play.

[1tinsoldier]

Craig only played 11 minutes, took 1 shot but did have 2 steals and an assist.
Payne and Crowder were the most ineficient and unproductive.

obviously it was a great defensive first half
but the Pelicans outplayed us the 2nd half
sure we'll beat, maybe sweep the Pels.
but the offensive rebounds and the fact that Paul had to do that much to get it done tonight is a little concerning considering the competition ahead

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Crowder with only 1 point, 1 rebound and 1 assist. If he wants to be a power forward he needs to play like one.

I give him big credit defensively. He was into Ingram. But he, Payne, bridges, and Craig can’t go 0-for from three again.
