Love Ingram but he totally barreled into Crowders chest.. I hate dumb fouls.. It's basically a turnover.

Zion at his last years potential we are just as good as everyteam in the west right now outside of golden state in my belief and that’s because their greatest asset is our biggest weakness and they actually have championship winning experience

awesome finish in there nance

Pels win the 2nd by 10, go up 58-48 into the half.

Foot stays on the pedal, please.

Brilliant gameplan. How Willie set up that 2nd quarter to go lul them and hit the gas was masterful

Your thoughts on how a Zion, Nance pairing would look production wise?

I wonder how Willie gonna handle third now the Suns got time to adjust.

Its crazy that we are out rebounding and have so many more points in the paint when they have Ayton and McGee

If Nance is being used as a smallball 5, or there's a 5 who can shoot, I think it's fine and would allow for some flexibility with regards to running Zion on-ball with the active presence of a roll threat still.

If it's assuming there's a traditional 5 on the court as well I think there's concerns about just too many cooks spoiling the broth in the paint.

Agreed..

I believe this series is ours if CJ can play like CJ, and our other guys continue to do what they're doing.

Feels like 2011 the way CP3 is losing a playoff game six in New Orleans.

Nah... This team never experienced a better team in elimination game mode. Clippers and Spurs are nice, but us winning two straight would end up being a historic upset.

Booker looks done for the night?

No doubt it would be bro.. But considering how this team has outplayed the Suns for the majority of the quarters played, I really like our chances.

OOoohhhhh CJ!!!

Hayes playing timid.

What's the point of Hayes... Can't rebound, block shots, or provide offense

Suns turning up the grift-o-meter as high as it will go. Pels will need to really focus and execute to stop them grifting a lead

Pull Hayes man

Feed Jonas in the paint and let him put that shoulder down

The good news is that we're getting close to normal substitution time anyway

Hayes defending air... Brilliant

Thank you jesus

damn this was CJs best game too. now he's going to be out most of the game with 5 fouls

Fatally crumbling in this third. If they get an 8, 9 point lead, it's over

This game is done without CJ

And just like that the refs have taken over.

Yeah. No other team is getting that call against them. What

I mean a whistle every play these refs out of control

Need to readjust and play a two man gang with BI and Jonas

This is good adversity too, the team can respond here and learn what its like to win a playoff elimination game when you are getting bad calls too.

This is so rigged guys. No way this is not.

tbh i do see that as an offensive foul

I sometimes feel like Green has to re-learn everything each game new, like he can't retain memories from game to game.

We learn every game that you can't play drop on CP3, that you have to trap to get the ball out of his hands, that Trey deserves minutes, that Jax is largely unplayable in this series, that Graham's minutes are usually bunk, and then the next game we have to come out and do it all again before Green realises.

you have confirmation bias. jax was great for us in the first quarter

Man screw that. It was a clear flop

You're right, he was. He played a really good first 4 minutes. He then proceeded to play a really rough every-other-minute-hes-been-on-the-floor, after 5 games of being bad consecutively.

You'll also note that my post had other criticisms in it too, not just Jax. Almost like I was making a general point about the series as a whole instead of what is currently happening in this precise millisecond.

BI's been extremely quiet so far tonight. Need him to start pushing things.

TRIGGA TREY

When you give Trey looks... He sinks them.

HERB!!!

I don't understand how anyone can try to call out Trey. His offense is 100% dependent on a facilitator.

Herb >>>>>

Herb with the handles!

I remember hearing we had no chance and we couldn’t compete with devin booker with 31 and we was winning Chris Paul playing perfect right now we are winning
