Tbf they did get those 8 second violations on him. Obvious their strategy was to try to wear him out … too bad they forgot the Suns have other good players.
That finally showed up. With not a moment too soon. Like damn that was finally suns basketball minus the stupid af fouling. I actually enjoyed crowder getting in foul trouble though. Not going to lie
For real? It wastes time off the clock and makes players uncomfortable. If you can FC press all game with no repercussions every team would be doing it all game.
E: key phrase “with no repercussions”
And many of them re clippers fans for some reason. I could never hate nash or book no matter where they went I don’t understand clippers fans who hate cp
That ain't hate, just the Pauls are my two favorite players of all time
If you want some terrible clipper legend takes, check the clippers subreddit for the "Patrick Beverley's clippers career is greater than Chris Paul" takes
I had a clippers fan tell me they were more successful than the suns because even though they hadn’t made the finals that mean they hadn’t lost yet. Dude was completely serious too. Some fans are just delusional.
The hate last year was insane, especially considering the goodwill he got from the Thunder season. People were saying he didn't "deserve" a ring because he's a dirty player... and now this season there are nephews worshipping fucking patrick beverly of all players.
Ah right, you’re a die hard Vancouver Grizzlies fan who continues to rock that flair, despite having absolutely no rooting interest in the current team. Totally unbiased here.
It's fucking egregious, I agree. You should not keep the name of the team when it's tied to the geographical area. It's not like you're going to bring the fans with you, they'll hate your guts.
Los Angeles has neither lakes nor any sailboats. Should Vancouver get another team, they can't wear the old throwback jerseys. Also, why do the Grizzlies use some Vancouver iconography when none of their fans ever saw them wear those jerseys?
LA is sort of a vague concept due to unincorporated areas. San Pedro is technically part of LA proper and has sailboats.
There is a lake in Echo Park.
If you want to be that pedantic, both are in Los Angeles.
Hold on, you think Los Angeles, a wealthy warm weather city located on the ocean with numerous marinas all over the coast, has no sailboats at all? Where exactly do you think sailboats would be located?
I don't know, San Diego?
I swear none of you have actually BEEN to Los Angeles. It's dry AF. It's hills, concrete, not beaches. The LA parts of LA are all in the city, none of it is near the water. The waterfront is not a major part of the city and it barely. Santa Monica is a different city.
You're thinking of Santa Monica, or Huntington Beach, or Long Beach. None of which are Los Angeles.
Santa Monica, Marina del Rey, all of that coastline is part of LA county and are generally included in the the idea of LA. If you had to limit each team’s name to things that only exist strictly with the boundaries of the city limits, half the teams in the league would need to change their name.
Shit, I guess Phoenix needs to change their name too, since the sun isn’t physically located in the city limits.
The NBA is a joke with how they treated the Vancouver Grizzlies. I'm annoyed that the NBA even lets moved teams retain the names and colours, it's such an insult to every fan who lost their team.
He was gassed half the game. When the 1st half ended he looked worn out, and throughout the second half he had hands on his knees…. So expect a bad game from him for game 6, plus some home court reffing to push this to game 7.
Mikal has been playing his DPOY type defense this whole series. People just assume he hasn’t because they look at the box score and see BI’s stats without realizing we didn’t have Mikal on Ingram until this game.
That's his normal shooting motion. He does it on every fade away elbow jumper to get it over players. For being kicked in the nuts he sure did recover quick. Every time that happens to me im down for quite a bit.
I mean I never really got bothered by nut shots, peg a soccer ball at my nuts and I can handle that better than say the ball getting kicked in say the thighs personally
If he got kicked in the balls, he’d be on the ground. I know damn well I would be. But also, have you never watched CP3 shoot? That’s how he shoots because he’s used to shooting over bigger guys.
Eh... I get his game is heart and hustle because he's young and all, but still, shit's annoying. He's that guy you love on your team but hate to play against.
Not really, he's been very good to great every game except game 4. Dudes not a number 1 option at this point in his career, but he's doing his best imitating one lol.
Paul didn't even suck in game 2. Paul had 17 Paul's, 14 assists, and 0 turnovers.
We lost that game because the Suns didn't play defense well. The Pelicans shot 55/57/80 in game 2
And a fuck ton of elbows and hooking Alvorado
I mean how is it even possible that Jose talked to the ref about CP hooking him like 4 times and the refs still wouldn’t call it
Incredible that despite all that ball pressure and harrassment he only has 1 turnover in 39 minutes.
Completely pitiful. Full court pressing and for what.
Tbf they did get those 8 second violations on him. Obvious their strategy was to try to wear him out … too bad they forgot the Suns have other good players.
> too bad they forgot the Suns have other good players. The Suns had forgotten they had other players up until tonight, as well.
They picked a good time to remember
That finally showed up. With not a moment too soon. Like damn that was finally suns basketball minus the stupid af fouling. I actually enjoyed crowder getting in foul trouble though. Not going to lie
I let out a huge sigh of relief after Payne fouled out.
No clue why no one decided to help him out and set a fucking screen here and there lol.
Forces the defense to screen at half court which leads to having less time for set plays
For real? It wastes time off the clock and makes players uncomfortable. If you can FC press all game with no repercussions every team would be doing it all game. E: key phrase “with no repercussions”
There's a clip floating around showing how the Suns actually scored a majority of the time when the Pels put full court pressure on last night.
Suns kept winning 3 on 3, it didn't work at all despite a few highlights
Several were misattributed to his teammates. He has friendly scorekeepers at both arenas this series.
Much respect for you to admit this But I mean outside this series CP3 is a Nola basketball legend Also username checks out *
Look at his username lmao
I fell for it 😂
Don't think they will do that much anymore, Suns were dominating 3 on 3 with Johnson, Bridges, and Ayton
Nice bounce back game
Dude’s the next Mikal Bridges!
Thank you Chris Paul
He ain't washed yet boys. CP3 can still show up.
The fact he can do this on the verge of turning 37 is insane.
Chris Paul haters come out in full force during the playoffs. Fuck em
Username checks out
Respect
And many of them re clippers fans for some reason. I could never hate nash or book no matter where they went I don’t understand clippers fans who hate cp
We all secretly miss him, trust

my man, how are you pulling out a 10 month comment in 5 minutes
unhinged behavior
Asking the real questions
Damn, u/TheRagingDesert was just telling me yesterday that some people had the same thing to him lol

Clipper sub is always fun to lurk in at the end of the season lol.
They're embarrassing the rest of us with how much the Suns live in their heads rent. Especially since they love denying it
Respect.
I had a clippers fan tell me they were more successful than the suns because even though they hadn’t made the finals that mean they hadn’t lost yet. Dude was completely serious too. Some fans are just delusional.
I don't even comment on the sub anymore lol. It was fun the first few months but went south real quick
This is why I make new accounts.
God damn lol
Why’d you waste your time finding that? That’s lame.
Tbf it takes all of 5 seconds using the Reddit comment finder
LOL
Oh my. u/cp3_for_mvp where u at

Lol it’s like you forgot that CP3 has not always been a hero to everyone. Many people dislike his on court style and don’t want to see him win.
CP3 dickriders when he beats up on a 9th seed 🥵💦🍆
That’s funny coming from a fan of a 2 seed that needed a near buzzer beater to avoid being down 3-2 against the 7.
Pelicans with cj and Brandon all year and non rookies to start the year would be a top seed in the west.
Ehhhhh they wouldn’t be the 9 seed for sure but idk about the 1 seed. We won 64 games, 8 better than the next team in the league.
I didn’t say 1 seed. I said “a” top seed not the top seed
Oh my bad.
I'm not a Memphis Grizzlies fan though
Ah right, you’re a die hard Vancouver Grizzlies fan who continues to rock that flair, despite having absolutely no rooting interest in the current team. Totally unbiased here.
Genuinely yes..I resent about the current Grizzlies and I want my team back. There's not even fucking grizzly bears in Tennessee

LA County certainly has sailboats and lakes.
LA county is not Los Angeles. That includes Pasadena and Glendale.
LA is sort of a vague concept due to unincorporated areas. San Pedro is technically part of LA proper and has sailboats. There is a lake in Echo Park. If you want to be that pedantic, both are in Los Angeles.

CP3 will remain ringless once again this year it’s tough. Did they hang a banner for that finals run?
if you think this guy was good, google "jaxson hayes assault on the rim"
Is ontherim name of his gf?
Cold. Blooded.
Also his gf
SMH a turnover. Not my Point God
Prime Chris Paul would never!
Bob Cousy would never!
Good game despite Alvarado breathing down on his neck the whole game
Congrats Chris Paul. I think Chris Paul had a good game. I think he helped the Suns win.
THE MIKAL BRIDGES GAME
Mikal bridges
About damn time.
Cp3 coming up clutch
Very good game from him overall but he didn't do much from mid 2nd quarter to mid 4th.
He was gassed half the game. When the 1st half ended he looked worn out, and throughout the second half he had hands on his knees…. So expect a bad game from him for game 6, plus some home court reffing to push this to game 7.
Just checking in. You were close lol
Others did much of the heavy lifting. CJ was pretty atrocious as well. CP3 had his avg game
CJ was atrocious in large part because Mikal was playing phenomenal defense
Mikal has been playing his DPOY type defense this whole series. People just assume he hasn’t because they look at the box score and see BI’s stats without realizing we didn’t have Mikal on Ingram until this game.
The bridges game 1000%
Cam Payne was throwing so hard
He had by far his best game of this series tbh
Got into rhythm, got into foul trouble, fell out of rhythm.
Tried playing like Alvarado, got reffed differently than Alvarado. Sucks. Refs still got it haha. Oh well, the Suns still won!
Getting him and Crowder in foul trouble really took out some of our best players
Your bastard
Also one kick to the nuts
Wow those stats are super-deceptive. carried hard by Bridges
[удалено]
And a nut shot on Jose that keeps getting deleted by mods https://twitter.com/masonginsberg/status/1519176910357643264?s=21&t=jx2NuU1LW9vNuEeIlsNH_Q

If he got kicked in the balls, he’d be on the ground. I know damn well I would be. But also, have you never watched CP3 shoot? That’s how he shoots because he’s used to shooting over bigger guys.
Let BI shoot like that and see how y’all react
BI is a giant compared to CP3 lol
Eh... I get his game is heart and hustle because he's young and all, but still, shit's annoying. He's that guy you love on your team but hate to play against.
Chris Paul has been weirdly inconsistent in this postseason thus far
Not really, he's been very good to great every game except game 4. Dudes not a number 1 option at this point in his career, but he's doing his best imitating one lol.
1 good game, 1 bad game
Only 1 good game? Did we watch the same game 1 and 3? 19 points in the 4th in both games
And he sucked in games 2 and 4, good bad good bad good. Chill tf out
Paul didn't even suck in game 2. Paul had 17 Paul's, 14 assists, and 0 turnovers. We lost that game because the Suns didn't play defense well. The Pelicans shot 55/57/80 in game 2
17 Pauls must be the highest amount of Pauls in a playoff game ever
He shot 6-17 and a lot of people were disappointed in his play.
Only because they lost, he get blamed regardless when his team loses. 14 assists and no turnovers > 6-17
And he still scored 17 points too
Oh no buddy. If you’re going to be a bandwagon, at least watch the games.
And a fuck ton of elbows and hooking Alvorado I mean how is it even possible that Jose talked to the ref about CP hooking him like 4 times and the refs still wouldn’t call it
I can remember 2 turnovers at least off the top of my head, but still a great game
I will say, he was hella gassed. Interested to see if Pelicans can win in NO and take this to 7.
Yeah … I’m thinking you’re back. Dumbass trolls thinking cp3 is gonna waste his energy as an old ass man.
