Absolutely head scratching. If they gave me that kind of space I'd score too.

I mean, he didn't have landing space, but he didn't land on a foot. That's just inconsistent.

Curry is much a PG as Fred is so no

If Fred won multiple rings with his style then I'd call him a PG too. I'm not calling Jokic a PG because he can shoot 3s and pass the ball lol.

The term seems to be lost on you. There were things here before 2018.

Pels fans all left

Suns should pull this one out but this doesn't inspire much confidence. The longer you let the Pels hang around, the greater the chance that something wonky happens...

(Oh, and - what the heck is with the complete lack of usage of Ayton in the 4th? Down Booker, and with the kind of game he was having, you'd expect that they would just feed him and this game wouldn't even be close)

I'm just here for the "Suns are doomed" and "team ball can't win in the playoffs" takes.

Paul is able to conserve his energy on defense as he's guarding Herb. Moving on in the playoffs and facing teams that will make him defend will be interesting. Can his stamina and age hold up?!?

giving pels some kinda confidence for the next game. well, giving BI some kinda confidence anyway.

They focused on stopping the bigs from scoring as they didn't let Ayton get free inside but as a result they left CP3 on an island to do his mid range work.

Paul is the most clutch player in the league. And pelicans consistently switching putting Nance and CJ on Paul.

That's what happens when you are such a good passer and also know how to get separation, guys have to think when guarding you, and that little time you're thinking of closing out vs guarding the roll man, the shot is up.

you either let him shoot long 3s or letting others to make threes. crazy bad defense for pelis.

ayton was awesome this game but cp3 is still the best closer on the team. as long as he has the energy in the clutch, you go with him every time.
