Suns @ Lakers Thursday Playoff game thread 5-27-2021 - Game 3

[Cheesebeef]

With everyone else healthy? Absolutely yes.

I don’t. I think we need another VERY GOOD player. Like fringe All-Star level. And a healthy CP3... which just can’t be counted on in the playoffs sadly.

 

[AZ Native]

Are you watching how Paul is laiboring? HE SHOULD NOT BE PLAYING.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Lol Booker.

 

[Proximo]

You think all we need is a big?

we should never be this sorry offensively in a game again. This is a fluke.

 

[Chaplin]

I don’t. I think we need another VERY GOOD player. Like fringe All-Star level. And a healthy CP3... which just can’t be counted on in the playoffs sadly.

His last injury in the playoffs was 2018. You act like he never plays in the playoffs due to injury.

 

[Finito]

With everyone else healthy? Absolutely yes.

so we’re going to rely on a now 38 year old Chris Paul

We need another perimeter player who can get his own Shot. Booker is clearly flawed and it’s showing

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

You think all we need is a big?

If we had a big and Paul was healthy, yup. Where did all of your bravado go?

who you shipping out? You obviously think they’re all wusses right?

 

[Cheesebeef]

Also, LeBron is starting to look like LeBRon again.

 

[Germz249]

Why is Crowder back in the game? Keep Craig out there

 

[FB94]

Just take Booker out he is trying to do too much on offense and grabbing in frustration on defense.

 

[Chaplin]

we should never be this sorry offensively in a game again. This is a fluke.

Nice sentiment, and we weren’t as bad in game 2, but we still were pretty terrible then too.

 

[Finito]

His last injury in the playoffs was 2018. You act like he never plays in the playoffs due to injury.

since 2015 he’s had 4 big injuries in the playoffs they showed the graphic

 

[nashman]

Uh yeah it is.
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Gentleman's Sweep

a back door sweep is 4 in a row dude, a gentlemen’s sweep is being up like 3-0 and gifting a game but winning in 5 technically but again whatever don’t want to see it either way!

 

[Raindog]

I don’t. I think we need another VERY GOOD player. Like fringe All-Star level. And a healthy CP3... which just can’t be counted on in the playoffs sadly.

I can't say I disagree. But is that a realistic possibility?

A nice season has made everyone forget we still have one of the worst owners in the league. I don't see a lot of chance of locking down our own guys on extensions PLUS bringing in another elite star.

 

[Cheesebeef]

This is where you need to just bench your starters and just teach them a lesson.

 

[Chaplin]

since 2015 he’s had 4 big injuries in the playoffs they showed the graphic

2015, 2016, 2018 and the shoulder this year. My point stands.

 

[Mainstreet]

Put Stix out there and give him some experience as the Lakers play volley ball.

 

[Proximo]

We need two more big men for this Lakers team.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

If Ayton is this guy, we have our fringe all star. We would be battling for 3-0 right now if Paul was right.

 

[Evil Ash]

No better shot of today's game .. 3 suns surround the ball and none of them get the board

a Rasheed Wallace type. I don’t know who that is in today’s NBA or how we would get him.

 

[Covert Rain]

This team has offensive amnesia.

 

[FB94]

If a was crowder and got linked twice by lebron I would foul his ass as hard as i can

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder not even looking good on defense.

 

[Finito]

Lots of blame to go around tonight.

Monty sucks

Booker REALLY sucks

all our forwards suck, but Craig has shown some balls

Ayton missed 3 shots

oh he’s only 10-13 for 20/11

seriously Ayton missed 3 shots...3. He ain’t the guy to look at tonight or in this series period

 

[FB94]

I f’ing hate LB, how is that a foul
