I'm ok with this game. CJ was horrible, Val didn't do too much and Ingram was just ok and we kept it pretty close. Bridges and Cyclops were hitting tonight. Suns deserved their win.

Hardly. It's a 28 win differential between these two teams and it's still competitive. Booker is out, but so is Zion.

CJ keeps getting credit for the turn around but he's been dead weight.

BI had been playing good defense all series, but he was flat out bad all game. Over helping all night which led to Bridges being wide open all game long. Then in the 4th, BI turned the bad defense to pathetic defense.

He had a worse game than CJ tonight, and CJ had a really bad game.

Between CJ and BI they've had some good looks. Just can't buy a bucket.

As long as the pinky isn’t an issue for BI I expect a game 7 in this series

In this game only. Dude has been outstanding for the series outside of this. If McCollum hadn't been acquired, they most definitely wouldn't be where they are. Give dude some credit as his acquisition immediately turned things around.

They're far better with him than without, even considering this game.

Ingram had been hot for three games, so he's allowed to have a poor shooting game.

Dude shut the hell up. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Zion isn't holding himself out, the pelicans are. he absolutely wants to play, and unlike ben has actually been injured for the entire year

This was CJ's 4th game out of the 5 where he shot under 40%. He had a 50 TS% heading into tonight, so I assume its going to be below 50% after tonight. Then add on he is the worst defender on the team and when its just him out there on offense, he constantly over dribbles and the offense completely stalls.

CJ has been horrible this series.

To me the poor shooting game is fine, everyone has them. It was the really bad showing on the defensive side that stands out to me. There is a reason why Bridges went off tonight. BI was over helping constantly which led to Bridges being open over and over again. He had a very rough game on that end of the game tonight and it really hurt the Pels.
