It's been Crowder on him mostly. Bridges on CJ.

But BI doesn’t not to talk of Lebron.

Tbh I don’t care if CP3 never gets a ring. Nobody should be gifted a ring. You gotta be good enough to win one

I mean't Cam getting that weak whistle. Didn't see the foul on Nance it was basically Cam running straight into him and throwing it up. Refs cant make up their minds about whats a foul and what isn't.

Warriors are still the team to beat in the West. Suns look like frauds

Can the Pels pull a GS '07 upset?

This series feels like New Orleans smells blood and Phoenix is just trying to survive. For a team off of a finals appearance last year and 64 wins this year in a 1-8 matchup? That's troubling. You'd think they'd respond with more "we're still those guys without Booker" confidence.

If Booker remains out then absolutely. It’ll be tough, but they have a chance.

Pelicans are very likeable. Suns are also likeable aside from Chris Paul. Both of these teams have a coach who is a terrific person

Brandon Ingram this posteason: 30/7/5 on absolute ridiculous efficiency so far.

Superstar.

Let’s be real. They were lucky to reach the finals last year even. Didn’t face a single healthy team

Whoever wins Tuesday wins the series I think

Pels have no fear anymore. It's too late for the suns to win by intimidation. They're gonna have to grind every quarter out.

If Booker is not back at 100% by that time, the Warriors will make quick work of them if they meet, IMO.

I have to admit I didn't think this series would be so competitive but it does happen a lot. The 2018 Warriors at full strength were 2-2 against a Clippers team lead by uh.. Shamet? The 2008 Celtics who waxed the Lakers in the Finals went 7 in the first round vs a Hawks team that didn't have any players I can remember. The 2000 Lakers went the distance vs the upstart Kings. The list goes on and on.

Glad to see JV bounce back, he was playing like Lithuanian Drummond earlier, so uncharacteristic

This is Playoffs JV I remember

Who wins the series?
