Suns News: Playoffs Edition

If it's Nader or Craig then there isn't a choice for me.
Craig does EVERYTHING better than Nader.

Yes he does, including playing within the .5 offense and avoiding stupid fouls.

Seems most of phxsuns has discovered upon some good ass cocaine today

We didn’t play Nader. Monty did.

This is kind of a big deal…we can’t afford more techs

Didn't he get one on the finger in George's eye?

They just called a flagrant, no technical.

OK, good. In my mind they were the same thing.

[JeremyG]

But how many flagrant points does he have? https://www.si.com/nba/2019/05/10/playo ... technicals

Bickley: The Clippers are like a fungus that won’t go away

One thing I read or heard from Monty, can’t remember which, was that he didn’t treat his Game 5 prep any differently with the team because he wanted to keep them loose or something to that effect. Well, that backfired. They were too relaxed and without any urgency. It felt like they just expected the Clippers to wilt and give them the game. Well, let’s hope Game 5 snapped them out of that mindset. We better see a focused Suns team from the jump in Game 6.

Can’t let them show more urgency. Has happened in both our losses.

This picture will represent Beverly for the rest of his career. He's a jester.

Suns are done. The Clippers own them mentally and physically.

Thank you for doing your job! Phew! I feel much better now about our chances.

[AmareIsGod]

That's the spirit!

Phoenix Suns seek urgency to finish off LA Clippers in Game 6
Before it can make its first Finals in 28 years, Phoenix must find a way to finish off the resilient Clippers.

“Ayton is a great young talent that’s coming up,” Morris said. “Obviously, I had to give it everything I’ve got. But the last two series kind of prepared me for him, guarding [Utah’s Rudy] Gobert and I had [Dallas’] Boban [Marjanovic], [Kristaps] Porzingis. He’s a relentless rebounder. So just selling out on the glass and in the post, contesting shots, take away what he likes to do, watching a ton of film. Being a tough guy like I am, putting my body on the line. I’ve been doing it for numerous years in this league.”
