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

[Chaplin]

We missed 36 shots. He couldn’t grab a single offensive board? 11 other guys in this game could.

Is this the narrative you are going to concentrate on? We just beat the defending champs in the playoffs!

Meh

 

[dscher]

lol I don’t want to be that guy. As long as you guys give me scores And the play by play I am alright.

My point is... we've all been there with the curse thing as super fans. But I hear ya.. you gotta do what ya gotta do man.

No, but when people keep responding to my posts arguing, what am I supposed to do? It would’ve been done if you hadn’t just jumped in to criticize, right?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Meh

Excellent argument.
Here’s hoping we get more of games 1-4 from him against jokic.

I’m just glad we got some much needed playoff experience.

How many teams in the Western Conference tried to avoid the Lakers? The Suns didn't and won.

They did it the right way by playing the hand that's dealt you.

Yup. Ayton can’t be the invisible man like he was tonight.

I think if he brings the defensive intensity against Denver that be brought against LA, we're going to be alright

I don't remember how consistently he ran back to get set on defense, but if he was doing that consistently instead of crashing the offensive glass, that's a strategic trade-off that can be the right decision depending on the circumstances.

My disappointment with Ayton in this game was that he didn't show up defensively. He was caught napping a lot of the time and got at least two of his three (!) total rebounds in the opening minutes. Gasol played only 18 minutes, so what was Ayton doing so far from the basket the rest of the time?

 

[GatorAZ]

Book played his best game in his biggest game

Crowder showed me a lot today. He can go cold but he dragged his nuts on LA

Can’t believe ppl think Payne can be a PGOTF

I’d give the lower exception to Wes Matthews

**** LA

Maybe Lebron would be willing to come play power forward for us next season.

Chris Paul with 8 points and 12 assists.

Barkley chooses Denver to beat us.

 

[Chaplin]

And Kenny goes with the Suns.

 

[Chaplin]

Shaq has us in 6

Shaq picked suns in 6. Kenny picked suns.

Ayton 22/13
Jokic 26/11

Those are their head to head averages? Man if we get that we might win in 5. But jokic is playing SO well right now.
