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

Another incredibly clutch performance by CP3. 14-14 from the field is ridiculous.

[garrick]

Good series Pels, now if Zion can get in shape next season there's a bright future ahead.

[IamBBAnalysis]

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.

If he is by far their best player than the Suns are one hell of a team so I'm good with that. Because Booker has been a top 5-7 player this year.

[sunsbum]

Glad this series is over. Closer than it should have been but the pels are a hell of a team. This series reminds me of the clippers last year.

[DTP]

The refs would have reviewed that if the situations were reversed. This is what makes me hate the nba

They've used their challenge though?

Hostile act isn't a coach's challenge. Refs choose that

You really think that was a hostile act? Cmon yall....we cant be that soft.

[celticfan42487]

Sad

The Pelicans played so amazing. Both of the teams hit big shots after big shots forever.

They deserved at least a game 7 and a chance to advance.

[metalinguss]

Chris Paul is the most unlikable player in the league.

Can't wait for him to choke, again

LeBron
Ben Simmons
Harden
Kyrie
Embiid.

Paul's not even close.

Contact to the head so review of a hostile act. Theis gets called for flagrant for incidental elbows. This looked intentional from cp3

Let's not get wild and say intentional. That type of play happens, I agree NBA calls it a flagrant now and it should be reviewed but it wasn't some dirty play

[Michael Jackson]

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

Indeed. Go back to MJ it surely happened, like Charles Smith being blocked he had contact. MJ's Malone strip. Giannis gets away with a lot to. I am sure Lou Alcindor did too when the Bucks won. There is a time when they let it play and it isn't always fair. You try to judge the feel of the game and the feel always tends to favor the stars of the moment. Still there is almost always a foul or infraction of some type but we like the playoffs best when they play through

Respect - to pels

Zion need not leave- they got a team

[vital_signs]

Crowders bum ass trolling, classic.

[Phystic]

Good series, Pels fans. Got a great team and a lot to be excited about.

[OmniStrife]

Silver made the call tonight, everyone knows how the NBA hates game 7s.

[G R E Y]

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?

Same. I thought there was something about refs able to look at a call within two minutes left in the game?

[art_tatum]

Lol ppl calling cp3 clutch after a couple games in the first round against a play in team. Against years of choking.

Also lame that Zion didn’t try to play and help his scrappy team. The pelicans offense looked horrible at the end of the game

[Feed Your Head]

God damn I LOVE Willie Green.

[AussieRules]

Damn Willie Green emotional

[CobraCommander]

I would touch CP3 hair if I was a NOP player

[lakerz12]

Congratulations to the Refs.

And also the Suns, I guess.

[SkyBill40]

Nice series, fellas. You gave us all you had and a glimpse of your future, which is very bright even without Williamson. While I didn't like the scare, perhaps it was for the best to get us right as it's been sketchy to this point.
