It should be clear to anyone watching this series that if Paul doesn't get injured, Suns were winning this series going away. They are better than the Lakers.

Maybe that's only due to Davis and Lebron being sub-optimal this entire season, but nevertheless.

They were 21-6 and really starting to play well when they went into that Denver game where AD got injured and subsequently missed the next 30 games. They were never the same again. But yes, whether we win this series or not, we are the better team with Paul healthy. We're still having to fight uphill against the stripes but any team facing Lebron has to deal with that crap.

Even our good stuff looks sloppy... I guess I'll have to take it. I'm a picky fan :)

Suns won ugly which is a good sign going forward. This has been a trademark in close games this season.

Two things. Did you hear post game with Paul? The Suns were going to sit him. Paul told the Suns hell no. He convinced them to give him a few minutes to see what he can do.

Second thing. With Paul being hurt and the rest of the team being up and down?!Ayton is the MAIN reason we are in this series.

Let that soak in.

It’s sad to me that it seems monty is the last to come to this realization, if he’s even realized it at this juncture.

So glad Monty didn’t listen to everyone (including himself) and let our MVP candidate do his thing.

I think we've had bad coaches here for so long that questioning their decisions became a natural response. Earl Watson, Igor, Hornacek, Lindsey Hunter. None of them are head coaches in the league today, which isn't a coincidence.

Crowder, Bridges, and Cam Johnson shot 12-28 from the field and 7-20 from 3. Not quite up to what you'd want but an improvement over what they'd been doing, especially from 3. Both Bridges and Crowder were 3-8 from 3, which was big.
