It's one thing to have good games when your teams losing but another to dominate against the number 1 seed on their homecourt in the playoffs.

Perhaps it's coming, 24 is entering your prime and unlike everyone else for him it's just a matter of knocking down more 3s more often, no one can challenge his shot so seperation moves really don't matter as much for him.

I mean, KD is a top 10-15 player all time, it’s amazing he’s getting the comparison all things considered.

Well I mean the comparison is more just body type.

When he rises up for a shot only him and Durant go that high, at least for a wing.

Not saying he has Durant's shot making skills, but to be fair Durant doesn't have Ingram's passing skills or at least didn't at 24.

But they both make even a double team meaningless because when they rise up no defender can contest it, so it's just a matter of them hitting the shot.

This could have been the Lakers franchise player, the guy they drafted and people couldn’t make the reason of Lakers getting stars for free. There’s always something special to see your own home grown talent become a star and have for 10+ years.

As a Celtics fan even though this current roster hasn’t won a title yet I’m very lucky as a fan to see the players the Celtics drafted succeeding and still being so young. The future is still so bright.

And he was beat up with some little injuries on top of that. Dude was really something else tonight.

So disappointed in Zion for wasting a season

As we seen with Harden last season, hamstring tweaks are tough to come back from.

Don't forget to max Ayton this off season for $297.4 million/5 years

Sarver's cheapness actually made him a genius.

Great game from Ingram.

And lol at anyone who still thinks (or thought at any point) that the Suns are winning a title this year.

All teams have weaknesses. No superteams out there.

For the Suns its clearly the unreliable 3p shooting. No plan b in a cold night. They also depend a lot on their depth in the regular season something which overestimates them a bit.

You're laughing at anyone who thought the best team in the league would win a championship?

Not good, Booker immediately called to be taken out after that fast break chase. Suns are downplaying the injury, you don't immediately call for a sub for "tightness". Guessing he pulled it and if that's the case he's going to miss significant time.

It's one game, dude. Get a friggin' grip.

Ingram had one hell of a game and CJ has fit so well for the Pelicans. If Zion came back, I think they would be a legit team to beat.

Lowkey if Booker isnt getting back or is not back to 100%, i could see Pels going for the upset here. They look terrible without Book. Also lol if they maxout Ayton

Youre not wrong, but losing Booker was tough as hes a massive part of our offence.

Who wins the series?
