If they got to keep their challenge they would have been able to challenge that too. Suns have had some bad calls go against them after the 1st quarter.

Where are the Pels fans saying the refs are in the fix? Pelicans have gotten a lot of favorable calls this quarter.

Free throws starting to add up 24-12.

Suns allowed pelicans to stick around and now it's biting them

No clue why Willie is sticking with Graham getting minutes. He's been a disaster this game.

Huge 3 to end the 3RD Q for the Suns. End of Q execution is so important. The Suns have weathered the Pels best Q and now are positioned well for their own best Q.

Would like to see Willie not have BI on the bench to start this quarter. They need this win and he needs to be out on the court.

Haha Ya at first I thought he got all ball. But there was one angle where it was clear he got the left wrist.

Looks like Monty's comment about reffing worked in the first half but refs have forgotten all about it in the second half.

You can't make the case that the Suns are driving less this game as they're making a concerted effort to take it to the rim.

Seriously, how hard is it to understand. The Suns are a jump/spot shooting team and on defense reach in. Look at the last couple of years. The Pels have guys driving and attacking the rim. The Pels SHOULD shoot more FT's.

Except the Suns have scored a lot by attacking the basket, get hit, but still don't get calls. That "they're a jump shooting team" stuff is tired.

It looked to me during the first quarter the fix was in as a response to all the media about the FT discrepancy in game 4 and I said as much. Hasn't looked like it since however.

This game has been difficult to watch with the refs cooking all game for the Suns

Look at the Suns FT attempts on the season compared to the rest of the league and get back to me.

My god Willie make the adjustment and put BI back in. The offense running through CJ is not working in this series.
