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

[JeremyG]

I didn't breathe easy until that Crowder three to put us back up by 10! Great win, now we've just gotta hold on to our homecourt advantage.

[Superbone]

What a great day! Welcome to the world, Polly!

[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.

Bridges went full rookie mode under the bright lights. He’s been absolutely awful. Moment is way too big for him.

Not quite.

[Superbone]

Holy shit ayton

The young man is growing up before our very eyes.

[Superbone]

That right arm looks good to me!

He's back, baby!

[JeremyG]

Neither team has ever scored 110 points in any game in this series.

[Gladiator]

I will post a new Polly photo before every future game for luck...!

Yay Polly!!!

[Superbone]

And just like that the Suns have their swagger back

First it was Stella and now it's the Suns.

[Split T]

What a game! Had to catch it at work, but luckily things were slow and I caught most of it...We really need more officiating like tonight, we can win, even if AD plays, if they let as much contact go as they did tonight. If they call it like games 2-3, we’re in trouble. Though having the real CP3 back will help and hopefully take pressure off some of our other guys who’ve been having rough series(Looking at our wings and even Book the last couple.)

[Superbone]

“I’m back” Chris Paul after that last shot. Chills

I thought he was saying he's a bad man. I'm terrible at reading lips though

He said "I'm back!" twice.

[Superbone]

Refs are letting a lot of contact go both ways

Thank you. The refs are for the Lakers, yet they still fall for Crowder shot-and-fall, they don't call a foul on the Suns on the play that AD got injured, Booker hooks his man on the follow possession, Ayton pops Drummond and gets an And-1...

Has it been even all series, INF?

[Superbone]

Lebron is probably gonna try and take over now

He tried.

[Superbone]

Get Frank out of the damn game.

He had one nice deflection for a Laker turnover.

[Superbone]

How is that and 1???

It wasn't. I was so pissed going into the commercial break. Glad to see the refs wised up.

[Superbone]

This is it. 10 point lead with 4 minutes left. Lose this lead and game and they might as well just stay in LA until September.

How about instead LA stays in LA after Game 6?

[Superbone]

This is the second game that I had to pour myself a little whisky to calm my nerves. The first time was during game one... I'm sensing a pattern here.

Get out the whisky for Game 5 please.

[Superbone]

THE PHOENIX SUNS ARE UNDEFEATED IN POLLY'S LIFETIME!!

From this point on this game will be known as the Polly game in phx-suns.net folklore.

[Superbone]

Today it deserved a full watch through. Still, I'd like to see a playoff edition. Maybe even a different version for each series. (See what I did there? Getting a little optimistic.)

[Superbone]

Before the game started, nobody on TV was looking to see if the Suns could tie up the series. Instead they all talked about whether the Lakers could go up 3-1.
