He simply isn’t a naturally gifted rebounder. No instincts…. No passion… He’s literally just lollygagging and day-dreaming while Nance and whoever are busting their arses and schooling him. He should feel incredibly embarrassed, but I’m sure he doesn’t.
He had a great second half defensively. Picked up his intensity considerably and kept scoring. And we didn’t get crushed in the boards. Great win!

Can’t believe how you are underrating them. I’ll give you Maybe Memphis and definitely GS but can you say confidently that Dallas, Minnesota and Denver are better?
Agree. This Pels team is excellent. And for the life of me I can’t understand why we kept rotating off the Murphy kid who’s been blazing from 3 all series.

They’re prob a little better than Denver and even with Utah. But I think they’re miles away from Memphis, GS, and Dallas and not as good as the Wolves either.
Disagree with you. I think they’d have a war with the wolves and they’re better than Dallas, but doncic would make it interesting.

Devin Booker with 13 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
I was wrong about not playing him. I was amazed he played under control. Didn’t let anyone speed him up and the Pels didn’t hunt him on offense. I would’ve. I would’ve tested that hammy.

Eh, I bet that Pelicans aren't any better next year. They are one of those franchises that's just never going to get ahead for very long.
Weird comment considering how they finished post trade and getting everyone healthy and three impressive rookies and either getting zion back or a haul for him.

This is a good comment. If it was possible for the last five minute version of this suns team to play entire games they’d be like 76-6 and maybe lose 1 or 2 playoff games. They’re clutch time play, on both ends, is ridiculous to the point of insanity.

At the expense of several of their players. I question the chemistry on the floor along with the spacing and defense.
Wouldn’t kill the spacing so much as he’d be taking Hayes spot on the floor and he’s no shooter.

Chris Paul was 14-14 for 33 points!

He also had 8 assists.

It’s one of the most insane games I’ve ever seen by a player. 33 points isn’t any huge amount, but not a single miss in a closeout game? Cmon. We are so spoiled with Paul.

Chris Paul's stats are so amazing. I'm trying to get my head around it.

He shot 14-14 from the field, 1-1 from 3P, 4-4 FT, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and only 3 turnovers.

A total of 33 points.

Paul carried the Suns tonight.
