We're better when he doesn't play, have been since the play in.


Hayes gives up quickness and length against them. When he went out we lost that flexibilty. His running the floor really helps us in THIS series.

Feels like we’re going to be forced to go after a true defensive big. Our group isn’t good enough as is. Tonight was really eye opening.

call every flop for Crowder.


Yep. The refs let him dictate the style (and emotions) by rewarding his flops

This, yes we have a great one-two punch but we also have to rely on A LOT of young inexperienced guys. Meanwhile the suns entire lineup is experienced and have seen it all. When you need to ask a lot out of 3 rookies in playoff time, it’s not going to be easy to win an entire series. The fact that our guys have played so well so far is pretty impressive


Exactly. Enjoy the ride, guys. And look forward to next year with Zion. We're watching the foundation being built right now. And it's being built solid as frick.

CP3 makes Ayton. Why pay him when someone cheaper can do the same thing with CP3?
tbf CP makes every center better even ones who are already great. Ayton is a very good center when he wants to be aggressive.

Nance shot worse and didn’t do anything to stop the pick and roll after he came in.
Again, Jval wasn't any better so how did pulling him cause anything negative?

Jval was -4 in 26 minutes, Nance -2 in 23 minutes.

Anything after making the playoffs is lagniappe to me. This experience is invaluable, not only for the rookies, but for BI as well.


I'm resorting to telling myself this after tonight. I know they were up by 1 after the first quarter, but it was really a shite performance the entire game. They just looked lethargic from the tip off to me.

But this is a good learning experience for them. And they can bounce back in game 4, just need to play with a little urgency.

Ayton is good but he’s not a number 1 option. He’s too passive, he’s not in that upper tier. I don’t think 25 ppg is realistic. He’s at 17 this year, think he is more like a 20-22 ppg/10-12 assists guy which is awesome, but he’s kind of point guard dependent.

I disagree. The young guys are playing excellent. They won their two games because their best player took over in the 4th. That’s not on the young guys. It isn’t about experience. It’s about CP3 taking over the game in the fourth.

You said no way he could play at the end. They didn’t gain anything by not playing him at the end.

Shel, I know you’ve never been wrong so I apologize.

Jax going Goldberg on Crowder really hurt us defensively when it came to switching. He makes a difference there.

Ayton had better stats without CP3

He sacrifices his scoring for the team

There aren't many bigs who can play D like he does and even fewer who have offense to go with it

I like what we have for the future but this series isn't over.
Needed some players to step up and they didn't. Still only down 2-1.

He plays timid against Ayton, In game two JV got some rebounds, but overall he's playing timid on defense and offense.

My biggest takeaway is that Phoenix really isn’t that good. That team will not win a title
