That literally is one of the most complete games (both ends of the floor) that I have ever seen from a Suns player in the playoffs. The box score doesn’t do what he did on the other end justice.

You guys talking about potential eastern conference opponents when we haven’t even gotten out of the first round in the west? C’mon man…

Wasn’t his elbow. He dislocated his right pinky finger.

No one is forgetting about the Pelicans or any future opponent.
They also played a Brooklyn team that basically gave up

Chris Paul about the technical foul he received.

I don't want to see Payne dance again unless we take the chip.

Did they give up cause Boston made them quit?

I want Cam Payne feeling his oats like Alvarado. The Suns need that. I want that swagger back.
No. They were never fully engaged this season. And with the Simmons and no-show it further demoralized them

I know the sideline reporter talked about his finger but on that one play late he clearly grabbed his elbow as if in pain. So maybe it's both?

I missed the second half but I am loving reading this thread after the fact. I’m getting a perfect picture of what took place in the second half, haha. So glad we won!

Ok I've got a question. In the first half, we were helping CP bring the ball up, setting screens, giving him outlets. Then in the second half, when he was exhausted, we left him on an island. Can anyone explain this to me? It's really bothering me.

It sounds like Mikal Bridges is ready to play tomorrow.

You know what gives you swagger? Playing well. I would still rather see Holiday.

Eddie Johnson said something like players get tired and forget their assignments.

He definitely grabbed his elbow. It is possible for pain to travel to a different location, depending on which nerve ends up sending/ carrying the pain, though. Hamstring pull can travel to the lower back, for example. I am not as up to speed on hand injuries as I am on leg injuries, but logically, it's possible to sprain or break a finger and experience immediate elbow pain.
He also fell on his tailbone few plays earlier, so it's possible that he hit his elbow during that fall, but his entire right side didn't look right the last few minutes. Something was seriously off.

It doesn't have to be either/or. We saw what Cam Payne did in the playoffs last season against the Clippers in the WCFs.
He had a 29 point, 9 assist game with 0 turnovers.

So tired and stupid. Ugh.... Monty should be getting into someone's ass for letting cp down like that. But it kept happening. And it was the whole team.
