    Dude Crowder is such a choker it's crazy. Whenever i tuned into a PHX game all season long Crowder looked like Steph Curry out there but in this series he's like 0/40 on 3pters

    If AD is not coming back next game, the Lakers are done.

    Wasn't even on the screen. On the play prior to that, he was way too slow on the rotation, or just confused, and that defensive lapse led to an open 3 point splash.

    But those two plays were preceded by a patened LeBron fastbreak sprint and pass out to an open B-Mac who bricked the three. He can still beat everyone down the court, jump out the gym, or power his way through a few defenders, but he has to recover from it on the court and he only has so many of those plays in the tank per game.

    Agreed. But he'll be back.

    I don't like how the Suns are celebrating on the bench. It's cool to feel good up 30, but that elimination game will start 0-0.

    What even happened? I bet CP3 is just trying to fire up his team even more so they dont get complacent.

    Whatever, CP3. Here's my new scenario: Chris Paul out for G6. Davis returns for G6. They both play G7. Lakers win. Chris Paul gets his own gameshow.

    CP3 is grabbing narrative like his buddy Lebron. I dont think CP3 is hurt. He cant be hurt again, that would be crazy.

    Elimination games are a different beast, though. I don't trust CP3 will do the right thing. That entire clique serves LeBron first and foremost.

    So this is the year AD gets hurt again and the year Paul doesn’t while leading the Suns to the finals just to get stomped by the Nets and Harden will get his ring.

    As a Rockets fan this is as bad as it gets.

    Schroeder and Caruso are a combined 2-17. Oof.

    Of course it's understandable if Lebron fails to defeat the Suns without AD, but Harden just had to beat the Warriors without CP3. The double standard is nauseating.
