Game Day Playoff Edition: Suns (1-2) @ Lakers (2-1), Sunday 5/30/21

[Flagrant Fowl]

Crowder as also apparently infected Booker with his terrible form.

[Shabazz]

3 DA bobbles already.

[LazarusLong]

Passing must improve.

[Shabazz]

Mikal looks shook in this series. I really thought he’d go off, but he’s been so tentative.

[INFORMER]

Early Thoughts:

-I am so glad JVG made the point about that Crowder foul. There are all these complaints about how many FTs being "given" to AD, but the Suns are committing dumb fouls and putting him on the line.

-Bridges needs to clean it up. That WIDE OPEN jumper in the lane has to drop, and you can't make that poor a pass after getting the Lakers to turn it over.

-Booker comes off the curl and doesn't even look to shoot. Not good.

Booker was yelling at Ayton for not catching a pass. He’s right, Ayton needs to catch that but that’s criticism feels silly because they were in situation in the first place because he just missed a point blank lay-up. Not only is Booker missing early shots, he is also making stupid passes again leading to turnovers.

Book just needs to keep his head on
As poor as we've shot the ball, our turnovers are again helping the Lakers offense too much

[BAMF]

Agreed Book playing timid

[Wally_West]

Gasol didn’t even have his feet set. Ugh.

[Superbone]

I’m only 2 min in but we’ve got to stop the turnovers!

[BAMF]

I like the lane clogging its working pretty well. Make them live and die by the three. With that said I would like to see some more horns plays by us on the offence.

[AmareIsGod]

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

Yep. Another Suns vs Lakers game.

[LazarusLong]

Saw a picture of Cam Johnson on the back of a milk carton ...

[Flagrant Fowl]

That was interesting when Craig went full Russell Westbrook for a possession.

[rhylek]

Update: My daughter Polly was born at 10:01am! C'mon Suns, give me a win and today will be a perfect day!!

Congrats !!

[Split T]

Just feels like a missed opportunity. Lakers didn’t play well and we find ourselves down 1. This isn’t anything hard, just need to make shots..

[The Bobster]

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

[bajanguy008]

Craig doing his thing on the defensive glass already
Got a lil carried on O couple times but I personally never mind his minutes

On a whole we didn't move the ball as much as usual, one too many possessions with guys trying to make a play on their own without any ball movement

[bajanguy008]

That was interesting when Craig went full Russell Westbrook for a possession.

Lol

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
