Suns @ Pelicans Friday Playoff game thread 4-22-2022 - Game 3

[95pro]

NO can’t sustain the pace and percentages from game 2

 

[ajcardfan]

Sure we are… But the less deep, #8 seed is outplaying us.

We have won 2 games they have won 1. That isn't outplaying us.

I worry about the toll this is going to take on CP3 with Book out. He played 40 mins today, mostly because Cam Payne couldn't do anything positive. Why not dust off Holiday for a spell?

Wrong… they have outplayed us in all 3 games. Unfortunately for them, we have a Point God who knows how to close out games.

 

[Finito]

I legit have a headache from this game

 

[AZ Native]

HUGE WIN.

 

[Mainstreet]

The way they are playing they are as good as either Dallas or Utah right now. They got hot. Ingram is proving he's the real deal.

It doesn't get much better than Ingram and McCollum, a top ranked center in Valanciunas plus very nice role players.

 

[Raindog]

Pelicans are very close to being as good as it gets.

I think it's more of a case of us making them look that good.

You didn’t mention Alvarado!

Ingram for Anthony Davis. Who says no?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

The leading after three quarters streak is stronger than any jinx!

Well at 1-2, they aren’t.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns only shot 15.4% from 3P, 4-26.

Drink more beer.

We led Game 1 end to end and I’m guessing had the lead for over 75% of tonight’s game.

Indeed, why not? Well, I know why not... because Monty never changes what he does. It's going to be sink or swim with the same rotations, lineups, and minutes no matter how bad guys are playing.

They sure have. If you pay no attention at all to points and wins.

 

[Covert Rain]

Good win and we needed it. However, there are so many players still struggling that shouldn’t be and this is Game 3. There is plenty to worry about with this team right now Booker or no Booker.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Well Paul counts as a part of the suns. So they haven’t outplayed us in 2 of 3 games.

 

[Mainstreet]

I think it's more of a case of us making them look that good.

I don't think so. McCollum and Nance Jr. were huge trade acquisitions.

 

[Chaplin]

Sure we are… But the less deep, #8 seed is outplaying us.

We’re up 2-1 but if going negative makes you sleep better, then more power to you. They’re not outplaying us enough to actually beat us, so that has to mean something.

This is the playoffs.

 

[Mainstreet]

Alvarado is playing like Cam Payne used too.

 

[Chaplin]

I think it's more of a case of us making them look that good.

4-26 from 3 isn’t making them look like anything.
