Western Conference | Round 1 | (1) Phoenix Suns VS. (8) New Orleans Pelicans (PHX WINS 4-2)

[MindState]

CP3 is by far the Suns best player. I dont think they go back to being a lottery team once he loses a step, but they wont be contenders, or anywhere close.

[og15]

Can the refs initiate looking at the CP3 elbow or is that only through a coach challenge?

I have no clue how the review works in those situations, but I think the team would need a review there. Would Alvarado get the call though, or would they call it inadvertent since he had gathered and was going up for a layup?

[spanishninja]

Great win by refs lol.

They stuck with the game plan tonight and it worked. Adam Silver must be proud.

oh **** off. like the league wasnt wanting a g7

I’ve always said this about the nba: fouls happen on every single possession & seem to be called arbitrarily.

[Marvin Martian]

I mean I'm gonna go ahead and say it. CP3 is having one of the best playoff games of all time

Meh. He is the best player the Suns have right now and he only put up 14 shots. If anything, he is being passive

differemce between a god and an avocado

gods get bailed out by the refs? Quite the difference for sure.

[sunsbum]

CJ is just having a nightmare elimination game.

I called it yesterday. Classic CJ

[AussieCeltic]

Is this the most shots without a miss in a game??

[CobraCommander]

CHRIS PAUL 14-14

That’s good right lol

Damn good close out game

[G R E Y]

I've been scoreboard watching this one wow the Suns have come back.

You’re surprised? We are the best 4th quarter team in the nba…

Yes, but I mean it's why games are played and why fans watch. Sometimes surprises happen. Pels have shown a lot of heart and Suns a ton of poise in coming back from a double digit deficit. Fun to watch.

[twyzted]

Chris Paul just broke the record for most consecutive fgs made in a playoff game @14, record had stood since 5 june 1991 set by Jordan.

[whatisacenter]

congrats to the Suns' fans but a big shout out to the Pelicans for exceeding expectations. Bright future for those young fellas!

[ReddoverKobe]

Going to be extras tough to beat the Suns if paul can just elbow people in the face and the refs look the other way.

[moss_is_1]

Chris Paul is the most unlikable player in the league.

Can't wait for him to choke, again

[LAL1947]

BI is a star! Doing literally everything.

McGollum choking again, giving away the ball at a key moment... and can't defend anyone. If the Pels extend him, it should be for no more than half of the $33m he's getting.

Looked like CP3 swung his elbow which is deemed reckless. Can still be ruled a flagrant 1, which in any other game with any other player it would’ve been.

[og15]

I’ve always said this about the nba: fouls happen on every single possession & seem to be called arbitrarily.

Have to make basketball watchable though, if they called all the fouls, either no one is able to play defense or the foul limit has to be increased to 10 and there's a foul half the possessions

[moss_is_1]

If Zion comes back Pelicans are going to be scary AF.

[metalinguss]

Glad Booker is back. This makes a potential series vs Luka and a WCF vs The Warriors or Grizzlies way more interesting.

[Funcrusher]

And cj wants to retire here... yeah right doofus
