Suns are the biggest threat to the Lakers repeating

[fteru6uhre54ew]

I'm not saying that but ok. Sorry to think bad about him

i mean it is what you said lol. i don't care what you think about chris paul. you can call him a whiny, flopping garbage can for all i care. but if you think he just decided to play without using his right arm for half the series because he either was afraid they couldn't win, or because it somehow gives them an advantage (which makes no sense), you have brain rot.

Exactly. Anyone that saw games 2 and 3 clearly saw that even though he was "playing" he couldn't actually play.

And since the halftime of the Game 4 he doesn't any problem magically. The guy has healed imself playing. I mean or we are stupids or you guys don't want to see how is this guy.

The Lakers fans' tin foil hat theory that Chris Paul was 'faking' his injury is one of the most delicious things to happen on RealGm in a long time

Hilarious that after the trolling that went on by Lakers fans before the series started to see them squirm like this now. I get it, you mortgaged your future draft assets and young players with the idea that you'd be competing for the next 3-4 years and now you got your asses handed to you in the first round by a bunch of 22-24 year olds. Now you're stuck with an aging and crippled team and no assets to do anything about it while the rest of the Western Conference is stacked with teams that are already younger and already better.

Chris Paul shot 33% from the field and 1-6 from the three point line in games 5 & 6, while averaging 8.5ppg, and you're claiming that he "magically healed himself" in game 4 hahaha

[GrindCityHustle]

This thread proves we know nothing as fans lol

If Davis doesn't get injured the Suns are eliminated and probably is going to be the same next year. And Chris Paul faked his injury it's impossible go to I can't use my arm to play like u wasn't injured in a game and since that. The guy did a drama out of nothing. That thing was worst even than Paul Pierce this guy at least was only during a game not during a series. It's only another notch in his gun

So basically your saying that he tanked games 2 and 3 just for theatrics? That's gotta be the most asinine thing I've ever read here.

Wanna talk about theatrics though? How about game 1 LeBron acting like his shoulder was torn off on a foul. Yet he magically healed in seconds!

And just to further disprove your straw man argument :

Game 5 CP3 scored 9 points on 3 of 9 from the field.

Game 6 CP3 8 points on 4-12 from the field

He sucked in games 5 and 6. They won the clincher due to Booker going berserk. CP3 stunk up the joint. He only started showing real signs of healing in this current series, which lucky for him started late giving him 3 full days off between games.

Ifs and buts, I've never put an asterisk next to any of the Suns' playoff misfortunes so I'm definitely not going to start doing it now for the Lakers.

Instead of hypotheticals, let's stick to the facts:

• When both teams were healthy in game 1, the Suns won.
• The Suns were leading the Lakers in game 4 before Davis exited the game permanently (54 to 50).
• Suns accumulative points in the series before AD went down (350 points). The Lakers accumulative points in the series before AD went down (358) - an 8 point accumulative point differential over 3 1/2 games.

This idea that the Lakers had this series in the bag before AD went down is a myth concocted by bitter Lakers fans. This supposed ironclad theory that the Lakers would have won the series if AD hadn't gone down is based the fact that the Lakers were able to outscore the Suns by an accumulative amount of 8 points thus far in the series (350 vs 358)? And that's including CP3 playing with one arm during the majority of that period. The numbers aren't matching the rhetoric here. What would have happened if both teams would have been completely healthy - nobody knows.

The results speak for themselves. The better team won and absolutely handed the Lakers their asses in the final two games. Stop crying and deal with it.

You don't know anything about stinger injuries. It behaved exactly as medical observers predicted it would. Something that can be debilitating in the short term but heal quickly.

Your premise doesnt even make any sense. What does Paul gain by "pretending" to be hurt, using one arm only and playing low minutes in games they lost and put them behind in the series? This isn't like a flop to get a call, where there's a clear advantage to faking.

That's all fair and well but you can't definitively say the better team won when the Lakers best player missed 2 and a half games in the series. I think even you would admit that the Lakers would be the prohibitive favorites in the West with a healthy AD and Lebron. Not to diminish Phoenix's performance or get into any of that asterisk BS but the Lakers likely win the series if all players involved are 100%.

Lakers lost Game 1 with AD, won two games where Paul couldnt shoot, and then were behind a point in Game 4 when AD went out. What are you basing that LA would "likely" win with everyone healthy on? Seems people just figure Lebron + AD = impossible to lose despite the fact that they clearly were not dominating the Suns in the games where both teams were full strength.

.

If the Lakers were such heavy favourites, then why weren't they steamrolling the Suns when AD was still healthy and CP3 went down, similar to how the Suns absolutely trashed the Lakers the moment they lost AD? 350 points vs. 358 point ? That's basically no difference. Why were the Lakers not able to go into halftime with a lead at home before AD went down? The two full games the Lakers played without AD (aside from his brief stint in game 6) the Suns grabbed an early double-digit lead in both games and the Lakers were never able to bring it back to single digits in either game. If the Lakers were such heavy favourites would they not at least have been able to keep the series competitive?

Your claim keeps on being made, but without any numbers to actually back it up.

[fteru6uhre54ew]

Exactly. Anyone that saw games 2 and 3 clearly saw that even though he was "playing" he couldn't actually play.

And since the halftime of the Game 4 he doesn't any problem magically. The guy has healed imself playing. I mean or we are stupids or you guys don't want to see how is this guy.

About Lebron what. That he was holded by the arm in the air by that dirty faking guy he took a hit to the ground in that play and then he continue to play. He was injured? did you read something about he was injured in the shoulder or what.

So that the guy has been healing during the games is true then. Man that guy is a superhero the first time I see a player came from an injury that he can't use his good arm and in the games playing he has been getting better and no worst injured. The guy was saying "I'm back" and shooting and playing with his good arm in the same game that he can't do that. Let's be real he had nothing minimum and literally made a drama out of nothing faking an injury much worst than was really is like a tricky dirty player he is.

And u are talking like this was weeks ago. It was the last week. In a week now he is perfect I mean c'mon be serious from coming to can't use his arm to be perfect in 15 days playing 8 games in that strech.

[Openheimer]

Turned out the lakers were no threat to anyone. The Suns are the biggest threat to the Nets

[Fo-Real]

Right now, the Nets are Ivan Drago and the Suns are Rockey Balboa!! I hope we rise!!!

My God. You people and your conspiracy theories. How do you get around everyday life?

[jwise44]

This will be a good thread to look back at towards the end of the season.






When the Suns beat the Lakers in the playoffs

Were you from the future? Are you back in your natural timeline? Thread is fun to read for sure

[jwise44]

Not gonna lie, impressive start considering CP3 and Booker arent actually playing that well. Could potentially turn into a fun season. With a Hawks vs Suns finals...

If harden is out, I’m praying for that to be the actual finals

[Harry Garris]

This thread proves we know nothing as fans lol

I mean no one could have predicted the Lakers injuries 8 months ago. It was interesting though how pretty much no one considered the Nets a championship threat back then. It took like 2 games of KD coming back and looking like prime KD again to convince me they at least were in the mix.

[timO]

clips and nuggs are way better

blazers too

utah too

mavs with KP too

even houston

That batting average..... Yikes

Watch on YouTube

quoting with 6 months

Harden still in Houston

and with AD out

with AD LA destroy Suns...

Denver without Murray too

so enjoy your WCF, thats all folks

[lamscott]

I would like to apologize to Suns fans and most of the NBA fans (except for the Celtic and Clippers, jerks) for the ramblings of dumb Laker fans and this conspiracy theory about CP3. You guys beat us fair and square. Good luck on your road to a possible championship.
