Monte just called out the free throw disparity in his post game presser.

RE: Booker playing in Game 5.

I get it. Big game at home.

But I guarantee Willie Green will have the Pels going at him on every possession which could be a disaster.

I don't see Booker playing in this series. He just started doing on court stuff today. Why do people think he comes bk when they said 2-3 weeks?

Who knows? I also don't believe it.

If Chris Paul has a series injury with his hand then we might be fucking done.

The team didn’t say 2-3 weeks…that’s just ESPN guessing. He played through a hamstring injury in the finals. He’ll play if we need him.

You can take the might out of that statement if he's injured.

He was mincing.

RESPECTFULY, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT, MR. SILVER?

That's what I would've said and would actually not be "mincing words".

Oh shocker, Chris Pauls hand is injured again. It was a good season while it lasted, I thought this was the best Suns team I've ever seen.

I don't know where you're getting that info, but I haven't seen anything that leads me to believe it's a serious injury.

It's a pattern that we're seeing and where there's smoke, I wonder if there is indeed fire.

Everything from the past points to there being a health issue with Chris Paul presently. I'm not getting information from anywhere but stats, his behavior, and my intuition. Hopefully my hunch is just paranoia from PTSD from last year

[Uncle_Gene]

It was Chris Paul's right hand during the season right ?

[Wally_West]

[Flagrant Fowl]

Now I believe something is actually wrong with his hand.

But I don't think it's all that serious.

CP3 said in the postgame interview that he will ".... be better game 5." He said this game was on him.

Suns have to find a way to slow down Ingram. Game 2 was 37pts, game 3 he got 34 pts, then game 4 it's 30. That's 33.6 pts over the last 3 games. Suns good defenders can't make it hard for him. Also, the Suns are still losing the battle of the boards. Anyone remember the game against Toronto in Phoenix ? Raptors killed the Suns on the glass, then Monte played Biyombo alongside Ayton and McGee in the 2nd half. Suns got back in the game because of the big frontcourt then of course lost the game because of consecutive turnovers down the stretch. My point is the Suns might have to play a big lineup to match the Pelicans size at certain times.

The series isn't over. Suns regaining homecourt was huge. I expect the 3-point shots that weren't falling earlier in this series to rain for the Suns back home.

I'd be more confident if the Suns were better at home, but that hasn't been the case for a while now. And I think the home crowd is going to be tight, which is always tough on the players.
