Well maybe Mikal being on the wrong side of Bron's SC Top 10 play probably snapped him into reality

Hitting the 3 immediately after Staples was going crazy was big. He air balled the next and I was like geeez man but then swish his next one. Gotta believe he's more a factor going forward

[bajanguy008]

Glad that no call on AD drive. Always going down like he got shot smfh

Yes Jae trying to block his turnaround was stupid but it's those drive to the rim and dribble continuations where the soft calls have been all series

[Superbone]

Well, I caught up to the broadcast at halftime. Not bad to end the half with our biggest lead. Should have been 6. Got to come out strong in the 2nd half! You know the Lakers will (and refs). Come on SUNS!!! Going to go back and read first half comments now.

[Split T]

Watch out for aggressive LeBron this half...gonna need to send help and make the shooters hit shots

[bajanguy008]

CP3 still not taking that pull-up or really attacking Drummond or Gasol in the PnR but at least he has gotten up some attempts and I think the fact he did his rip through late in the half should be a good sign.

Just need couple jumpers in the 3rd quarter then we might be on to something because his 2nd halves been rough

[Superbone]

Bridges and Johnson have to put on their big boy pants today and give them something.

They must have heard you. Gave us some nice minutes in the 2nd quarter.

[LazarusLong]

Overcoming the cheap shots, non calls and genuine LeBron/Davis/Caruso BS, the Suns lead the half.
Hope they keep showing some stones and focus.

[Superbone]

Kaminsky. Crowder. Saric. Bridges. Put any of these guys in an expect a fat zero in offensive contributions. What happened? The playoffs really fucked with Bridges and Crowder on offense. The two Euro stiffs, I expected nothing anyways.

The Lakers play mediocre and go up by nearly 10 simply because nobody on our team can do anything offensively.

Nice Suns comeback from that.

Some personal news: my wife has gone into labor. We're expecting our third child, a girl ("Polly").

Congrats.. threes a handful but fun
Go Suns .. just woke up and turned on before half time

After Lebron's off the backboard dunk made it 48-44 Lakers, they also tried another alley oop two plays later
Out here trying to clown us at any chance

Glad we went on a 10-2 run to close the half when they started those shenanigans

[INFORMER]

Craig gets fouled. No call. Payne takes a charge at mid court. No call.

Yep. Another Suns vs Lakers game.

Just sickening to see the bias of the officials towards the Lakers

Ayton got away with contact on back to back plays, Payne challenged a McLemore 3 and could have been called for contact on the hand...

It isn't the refs. The Suns aren't helping themselves. Paul falls asleep watching something, who knows what, the Lakers swing the ball and McLemore hits a 3. Cam Johnson sets a pick 40 feet from the basket and gives Matthews an extra push in the back right in front of the ref, and then is surprised when he gets called, when there was no reason to do it in the first place. Booker had the matchup advantage in the post against Schroeder but just kept pounding the ball instead of just taking the shot until Drummond closes aggressively and forces him into a turnover, and Booker cries to the ref.

The Suns are doing enough to beat themselves.

[BAMF]

Hopefully AD is out!

[Flagrant Fowl]

The window to get back into this series just opened. If they don't get their ass through it now, it's a wrap in game 5.

[bajanguy008]

The thing about constantly replaying the play where AD was injured is
Well he didn't get fouled, no need to go down like that

[Superbone]

And the LeBron pass to himself leading to a 3?

[bajanguy008]

Book with another walk-in 3....
Just leave those out yung
Geeez

[Split T]

Ayton finished through contact!? Love it!

[pagielak]

C'mon DA!

[iLLmatic]

I'm so happy to see Drummond on the floor

[iLLmatic]

Ayton taking over
