Wow. Didn't think it was intentional but still dangerous. Not sure if I would have ejected him but certainly a frustration foul, flagrant 1 I would have thought.
It doesn't matter that it was just a frustration foul. You can't let players just lose control and take an angry swipe at anything in their way. You could seriously do some damage to a player. What if he had broken Payne's nose?
Yeah I knew that was a flagrant 2 the moment I saw the replay. I have no idea what Reggie Miller was so confused about.
I'm suprised that you're surprised Reggie Miller is confused about anything.

I understand people thinking the ejection was excessive. I’d have been upset if one of our guys got ejected for that…at least in the moment. But I’d probably understand after the fact…it’s hard to argue.

I’d call it a flagrant 1.5…ejection during the regular season, but I’d probably let him play in the playoffs. But he’d have a quick leash if he did anything else remotely concerning.

He had intent to foul, that’s clear, he wound up, and he swung violently. The face contact was accidental, but all the ingredients are there…

Has Jokic ever pressured a ball handler in the back court? That right there should tell you it’s not a basketball play, haha

I think Paul's shoulder is fine now.

We gonna need that Book 3 pt shot to come back for the WCF…I thought that 6/6 1st Q would have unleashed him, but I guess not. If he could just unlock it for 8-14 more games, I’ll be very happy!

Ya, he went after Payne with bad intent…honestly didn’t think Jokic had that in him..though he did go and apologize to Payne before leaving..so I’ll forgive him.

Beat the defending champs and then sweep the next round. What a time to be alive.

Side note: I went back to my home town in rural Indiana over the weekend and saw a kid in his mid 20s sporting a Valley Booker jersey. So I figured he just liked the jersey but no he was act a Suns fan. Said he had been for about 6 years. Nice to see other fans coming out of the woodwork. Don’t care if they’re bandwagon or not. I’ll take what we can get. Come aboard.

I've gone from a DeAndre Ayton skeptic and critic to a full blown fanboy. I hope he and the fellas get housed tonight. They deserve it.

I love the fan reactions in the background during that Ayton dunk.

On a personal note, two of my most memorable Suns games were seeing them play in Portland, one time during the 2010 playoffs. It's so much fun to enjoy a win in enemy territory.
