Pelicans @ Suns Tuesday Playoff game thread 4-19-2022 - Game 2

[Finito]

If Paul doesn’t go nuclear we’re probably down 0-2 they’ve completely outplayed us in the hustle categories

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Pelicans 125 - Suns 114

Lol be az luck suns lose in round cause book hurt....

Im just disapointed really expected a w ton

 

[82CardsGrad]

CP3 with an airball... Poetic...

 

[Suns_fan69]

Meh they’ve called more fouls on the pels. Officiating had ZERO to do with this. We let Ingram go nuts on us and crowder sucked offensively, Paul sucked offensively, Ayton just essentially disappeared, and we lost our flamethrower.

Not to mention a complete inability to rebound the ball.

 

[Sunburn]

Right because muscle fatigue and dehydration is not a thing when it comes to Booker.

What's the max amount of minutes Booker should play in a game?

 

[TJ]

And just like that, 64 wins means ****.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Crowder and Craig killed us tonight. Absolutely nothing from the PF spot. 3 points on 1/10

Yup they are killing us. But Paul could drop it in the ocean tonight. And they’ve kinda neutralized cam Johnson. And cam Payne sucks through two games. And Ayton is the opposite of 2021 playoff Ayton. He’s been wuss Ayton.

 

[Raindog]

Bleep... every time in history the Suns have entered the playoffs as a big favorite, they have cruise controlled themselves into disaster, one way or another.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Well, that's on Monty then. His "mellow fellow" act does us no good when the other team cranks it up a notch AND the refs are punking us.

No punking.

 

[sdscard4]

You let them destroy you on the boards in game 1...to allow it again is just overconfident bullcrap...maybe a loss is what's needed

 

[Finito]

Ingram 37/11/9

He had the game of his life tonight

 

[AZ Native]

So, let's go win games 3 and 4. Best road team record.

 

[Covert Rain]

Lol just accept it. My gosh.

Oh I have. LOL. Monty is mismanaging the bench like he did last year. It’s like you didn’t watch the playoffs last year. This board was lit up about bringing Frank in the entire playoffs.

 

[SirStefan32]

I still think they'll be fine. They just didn't take this team seriously. On top of that, Pelicans aren't gonna shoot 54.8% from the three point line, and the Suns are not going to shoot as badly as they shot in the first two games. It will be fine, but they just needed to lose this one. They just need to get back to their basketball and they'll be fine against the Pelicans and Dallas/ Utah. Theoretically, Book should be back by then.

 

[SoonerLou]

So I just lost a live bet on the under.

Did Nance really just score a basket up 9 with 16 seconds to go??? ?

 

[Proximo]

What's the max amount of minutes Booker should play in a game?

Just shut up.

with your logic every player that plays 25 minutes should be having hamstring injuries - that’s all he played.

with that logic every starter in the nba should be pulling hamstrings constantly.

you just sound dumb.

 

[Mainstreet]

Pelicans shoot 17-31 from three (54.8%).

 

[Finito]

55% from 3 that won’t happen again

The tweet was taken down but said "Chris Paul has now lost his last 14 playoff games officiated by Scott Foster" with a picture of Foster and Paul.

Here is the picture Bleacher Report had before it deleted the post.

 

[jf-08]

Lousy hustle effort - defense and rebound lacking.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

The last 4 weeks weren't an aberration. The lack of rebounding...the awful shooting...the constant mental lapses. The team is off, and has been off for a long time now. Once the 1st seed was clinched...they have not been the same.

 

[Covert Rain]

What's the max amount of minutes Booker should play in a game?

It’s not about the number of minutes as much as giving guys a breather. There is a reason you bring guys off the bench. The number of minutes in a row matters or every coach in the NBA has been doing it wrong…since forever.

 

[Dback Jon]

No punking.

It’s amazing how you are unable to see reality

 

[Chaplin]

Oh I have. LOL. Monty is mismanaging the bench like he did last year. It’s like you didn’t watch the playoffs last year. This board was lit up about bringing Frank in the entire playoffs.

That was only in the finals after Dario went down.

Good lord blaming this all on Monty is lunacy. Blaming Books hammy problem on Monty is plain delusional.
