Suns @ Lakers Thursday Playoff game thread 6-3-2021 - Game 6

[Chaplin]

Never.

what’s stopping them from reviewing every play of the first half at halftime and making calls retroactively? That was flat out ridiculous.

Right. A foul is a foul right? How was that not a foul in real-time but a T well after that part of the possession was over?

 

[Covert Rain]

The Suns can’t play around. They need to come out like flamethrower in the 3rd.

The team has gotten away from the pick and roll.

 

[95pro]

Little mental lapse there on allowing them to score at the last moment.

 

[Mainstreet]

Wait why did Craig get a T?

Craig ran someone over (James) on the way down the court before all this happened.

I didn't know they could go back that far.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Need to come out aggressive again in third. Don’t let Lebron set tone.

 

[95pro]

So can they retroactively take away points since lebron travels or gets fantom calls?

 

[dscher]

Well. Good half, even though I am disappointed lead is down to 20.

got to start third strong.

We hit ALOT of shots that we can't rely on hitting the second half. This one will come down to playing lockdown defense. Keep the Lakers under 80 or 90 and the offense will be enough regardless.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton with 2 rebounds and 0 points in 15 minutes.

Under the referees logic they could.

But that’s not a technical. It’s a regular foul. But they can’t go back and call a regular foul. So they made up the T, which even as a T I’ve never seen that.

yup. We hit 10 3s in the first quarter. That wasn’t going to continue. We need to stop blowing easy layups and dunks, fumbling the ball away.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ayton with 2 rebounds and 0 points in 15 minutes.

Yup. Someone needs to tell him we need him to slam the door shut for us.

This was the wrong call but nothing can be done about it. The referees could do this in every game.

Doesn’t look like KCP is ejected, but got confused since he walked off the floor and toward the back right before halftime.

Agreed. I want to see book attack. Make a parade to the FT line.

Great goobly mooby

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Payne needs to get going. Only 1-5 for 3 points.

 

[Hoop Head]

Never been so pleased to turn on the game just before the half.

I hope the Suns keep doing what they're doing.

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder needs to control his temper in 2nd half with a technical. The same with Craig.

 

[Covert Rain]

Ayton with 2 rebounds and 0 points in 15 minutes.

They went small to run. Then they completely went away from the pick and roll because of the threes. I would like to see them work for inside shots.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Yup. Right now we are riding the book train. His level of heat isn’t likely to continue. Payne and Ayton need to step up this half.

Foot on the pedal suns!!

It's not really the wrong call, just rare. The refs have the right to look for an act that instigates a flagrant act.

lol... meanwhile most of watching are a little grumpy because we were up 30 before we lost focus.

well and stopped hitting every 3 we took.

rev those engines BACK UP! End this EARLY IN THE THIRD!

Ayton wasn't even rebounding or defending.
