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

Can’t lose this game… whatever it takes in the 4th. Even if it means keeping Payne on the bench the rest of the way.

Oh yes we can!

 

[Chaplin]

He should. IMO.

Disagree. This is the playoffs.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

We have been outrebounded 46-30. That’s a killer.

 

[nashman]

Holiday needs minutes this forcing Payne BS is gonna cost us if Monte keeps doing it! It’s pretty clear when he is off and that should be the key to sit him and give Holiday some run this is ridiculous!

 

[ajcardfan]

Disagree. This is the playoffs.

Ok. Tired player coming up short on shots and defense can lose games too.

Book’s not doing that.

 

[Bufalay]

Hey everyone. It's ok. Payne is having a terrible game, but the Suns are clearly better than the Pelicans. And Playoff Ayton is back!

 

[82CardsGrad]

Pelicans +16 on the boards! Wow!

 

[Chaplin]

CP3

 

[Mainstreet]

Keep leaving Chris Paul open.

 

[Dback Jon]

CP3

again

 

[Finito]

Now we can’t get stops to save our life

 

[Finito]

Get a stop!!

 

[Mainstreet]

Chris Paul putting on a show.

 

[Dback Jon]

CP3 taking over

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Anyone still worried what Paul does to our offense?

 

[Chris_Sanders]

That was an epic run

 

[Chaplin]

This may be the best 3 minute stretch of Chris Paul as a Sun.

 

[Finito]

The Point God just like nope not tonight

 

[Cheesebeef]

CP3

 

[Mainstreet]

Chris Paul felt insulted they were giving him that open three.

 

[Bufalay]

Willie Green thinks full court pressing is the key to stopping CP3. CP3 took that personally.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Anyone still worried what Paul does to our offense?

Not in the 4th quarter that's for sure, he's always been terrific then.

 

[Mainstreet]

Paul like a safety waiting for that pick.

 

[Mainstreet]

Someone has to help Paul. He has been carrying the load.
