Suns @ Pelicans Thursday Playoff game thread 4-28-2022 - Game 6

[95pro]

I had flashbacks of yelling at my TV with ginobili flops. Gladly I've chilled on sports in my older age. Haha.

I was explaining just that to my oldest. I used to jump and screen at the spurs series we were subject to.

 

[Covert Rain]

I don’t know about regular but he has to see minutes.

That would be regular. Giving him 5 minutes one game and none the next doesn’t solve our Payne problem.

Alverado is one of those guys, it appears, who if he is on your team you love him, on the other team you hate. Definitely channels some of Danny Ainge. Who he is probably too young to have heard of. Lol.

Pelicans rookies didn't play like rookies.

Paul's last basket seemed to defy physics. Ball looked like it hit the front of the rim, then slowly rolled up and dropped in.

Paul was huuuuuuuuge in games 1, 3 and 6.

 

[Chaplin]

Jae wore the "F*** Jae Crowder" shirt to his presser. LOL

Hate his shooting slump, love the guy.

EDIT: Book is wearing it also.

 

[Mainstreet]

NBA TV is showing interviews.

Say what you want he is and was our best defender on Ingram and it showed again tonight. Games aren’t always won by how many 3s you hit, and he did open the scoring tonight with a 3 which was a little ironic the way he has been shooting lol…

 

[Mainstreet]

And here is the shirt.

[Chaplin]

So the story is a couple Pelican fans were wearing it and wanted to talk to Jarrett Jack. He said, "nah" because of the shirt, but later he went over to them and asked for one that he gave to Book. So Book probably gave it to Jae. I have no idea where he got a 2nd one.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chris Paul loves New Orleans and the fans. Many of them were here when he played.

 

[Mainstreet]

We won!! Fly away you little bitch pigeons!

Those were some mean pigeons.

 

[95pro]

Pelicans rookies didn't play like rookies.

They were allowed to play free with guys like Ingram and McC on the team.

 

[Chaplin]

Let's not forget Willie Green and how much of a benefit it was to have him on the bench. He was a huge advantage that other teams don't have against us.

Suns win 4-2 but it seemed harder than that

A lot of teams would have been beaten by the Pelicans in the first round. The Suns stood tall.

 

[Mainstreet]

Lots of good remarks about Suns on NBA TV and Chris Paul. Saying the Suns are battle tested.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jae Crowder embracing the moment.

I‘s a razor thin line between 4-2 and 3-3 in a series like this.

Idk about razor thin but the suns had some battles to overcome.

It’s not like it came down to a dunk last year against the Clips.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chris Paul says he wouldn't be in Phoenix if not for Willie Green.

If Booker misses that 3 and Paul wasn’t perfect (which nobody could call)??? Yeah…razor thin.

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker is close to Willie Green as well.

Chris Paul wearing chain with New Orleans connection.

Pelicans may have forgot Devin Booker was on the court with open 3P.
