All it took was the Lakers' second-best player getting injured...

Whether cp3 really got hurt or not, Lakers were cruising to a series win till AD got hurt.

Come on now, there's a handful of teams in the west who could take out these Lakers.
Both teams healthy and at full strength, give me the Lakers.

Maybe you mean "Lakers would have cruised to a series win" because at the time CP3 was hurt the Suns were winning game 1

Laker fans like bringing up the AD injury but conveniently forgets CP3 was hurt the 2 games they won. The Suns even took the lead late in the 4th of game 2 until Cam Payne ran out of gas.

The Lakers were never going to repeat even if Davis was healthy.

It's funny how people are saying its after AD got hurt (same people who were thinking Lebron could carry this team alone) and they say that CP3 "maybe" got injured and that it doesn't matter (same player who was in MVP considiration (never would win it ofc but he was mentioned) and then got outplayed by Cameron Payne bcs of his injury)...
Normal ppl would like this series to be played at 100% health from both sides, and pathetic ones wouldn't and they only cry when something happens to their team...

Series is still not over, Lebron still has benefit of a doubt, he earned it over the years and i still think they have quite a chance even if AD doesn't play...

The Suns were winning if both teams were fully healthy the entire series. Lakers squad is trash

Injuries are the biggest threat all season that's why they were the 7th seed and this is why they are losing this series. Chris Paul was faking his injurie anyways AD would won like he was doing in the game 2nd and 3rd you can put Chris Paul or Paul Chris in the series but they were going to win the series with him healthy. Or with a Lebron not rusty comming of a injurie two weeks ago.

Chris Paul decided to stop taking jumpshots and stop dribbling with his right hand for three games in the middle of a playoff series? you can honestly sit there and say that makes sense to you?

It's just my opinion. You don't have to be a wise butt.

Man AD is such a lazy player. Why is he always taking breaks and faking injury?

Chris Paul healthy or not doesn't going to win a series versus a Lakers healthy team and ready for the playoffs and all the people know that. And if he was injured magically he is good now. It's Chris Paul the guy is capable to do whatever dirty trick to win. I mean he was trying to injure the people in all the series in the game 3 and he tried to injure Lebron in game 1

While technically true, the Suns aren't even close to being the best team in the playoffs. It's just the Lakers are terrible this year and are the 7th seed. Any number of top teams would probably eliminate them this year.
