Game Day Playoff Edition: Lakers (2-2) @ Suns (2-2), Tuesday 6/1/21

[ShelC]

We're still up but you could feel the momentum shift a bit when Paul left. We started settling for/forcing shots while the Lakers started hitting a few. Can't let them back in and make it a game. We need to run our offense and stay out on shooters.

The Cam Johnson 3 was nice way to end the half.

[AmareIsGod]

Kaminsky shoots everything, even wide open, like he's about to get hit. Soft AF.

[ShelC]

Feels like the Lakers give it one more shot for a run in the 4th. If we can maintain the first 3-4 minutes of the 4th, they prob pull LBJ.

[Wally_West]

Wouldn’t surprise me if they call it a day but me thinks they see if they can get ANYTHING going at the start of the 4th before calling it quits.

[The Bobster]

Booker one-one-one for the last shot in the period hasn't worked all year.

Beat me to it. Absolutely agree.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Paul looks OK to me. Maybe a little sore, but not enough to miss game 6.

(Blazers/Nuggets game 5 is absolutely bonkers.)

[Flagrant Fowl]

Cam Johnson really just tried to throw a lob to Kaminsky.

[ShelC]

So LBJ sits to the start the 4th. Debatable whether he returns. Looks like the Lakers went deep into their bench. We're going Payne, Bridges, Cam, Craig and Kaminsky. Cam threw a lob to Kaminsky on the break which went about as well as you'd expect.

I hope you’re right but you have been calling wrong all series. *cough* lakers in 5 *cough*

[Wally_West]

Let’s get some Jalen Smith and Ty-Shon minutes!

That was a reverse jinx.

How does it relate to Blazers/Nuggets?

[ShelC]

Bench mob in - Moore, Gallo, Cam, Craig and Frank. Frank with a great headfake and drive to the basket for the thunderous fingerroll and-1.

[Furlanfufi]

Kaminski and 1. This one is over.

Lmao. My bad, I was referring to your Paul post. Dame is a baaaad man. Sucks they couldn’t pull it out.

[Wally_West]

Kyler Murray in the building!!

[Flagrant Fowl]

Lots of guys who haven't played suddenly finding themselves in a playoff game. Could explain the poor shooting.

I don't think LeBron comes back in this game. Vogel should play Kuzma, Harrell, and THT the whole rest of the game. See if one of them can get something going to carry over for the next game.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Did I see a little mockery from Ayton on the bench after that E'Twaun up-and-under?
