T. Craig gives the Suns good minutes especially on the boards. The Suns have controlled the tempo of this game, they have played at different tempos and it has been successful.

Surely the Suns have got to ride this lead home now. Can't let the clippers comeback from this deficit however stranger things have happened in this playoffs.

CP3 won't allow that happen. He is reeling this team through the tides with critical clutch plays.

He wants it! Sooooo bad!!!

You can't under value CP3's influence with this team and It is not just with leadership, he does it on the court with the numbers.

This man has dominated this series and is unplayable right now!

Did someone in this thread just say that KD guarded Giannis the whole series? grin Like the KD we all watched? KD that was doing absolutely nothing on defense. KD that was busy standing under the rim on defense waiting to grab rebounds because he could afford to give P.J some space because he was always stationed on the corner. Hian. After dem go talk say people no dey watch the games. The people that guarded Giannis the most in that series were Blake and Green. Even Harden and Brown guarded Giannis more than KD.

Assinn, i think he did not watch the series at all

The Suns don't get to the NBA finals without CP3..No questions asked. Credit to PG13, he had a good series in my thoughts especially after Kawhi went down.

What are you talking about? KD guarded Giannis throughout the series and guarded Middleton several times.. LeBum historically is renowned for guarding all 5 and that includes the best or hot perimeter scoring player of the opponent so what are talking about here? How about Kawhi? He guards the best player of the opposing team including wing players who catch fire! How about Butler? You guys just need to stop with these excuses.

You are absolutely making my case when I say the NBA is bent on rewarding Giannis for remaining in a small market. More so, you are very wrong when you claim Giannis getting foul calls is primarily associated with his under the rim plays because that is totally false. He gets his whistles when he goes ISO as the ball handler driving to the bucket. His calls comes when opponents try to build a wall to stop his driving lane.. not because he is under the rim, so there goes your answer. Giannis does not play under the rim, everyone knows that and that is one of the issues Shaq has with him.

No one is questioning Giannis’s ability but the difference is, I am not afraid of calling him out.

Please go watch the GOAT very well again for the tin wen you type up there.. The GOAT made NBA ALL DEFENSIVE 1st TEAM 9 times! Not 2nd all NBA defensive, 1st..There is a reason!


Dude KD did not guard Giannis, it was mostly Blake on him so stop with the false narrative.
MJ was an excellent defender i am not disputing that, but the fact still remains every single series he played from after the Bulls drafted Pippen, it was Pippens job to guard the opposing teams best wing player. Barkley said it best when he called MJ the Panter he did not guard 1v1 but was always waiting to block passing lanes and strip players from the weak side.
As for calling Giannis out, call him out for his weakness, dont call someone weak minded who has never backed down from any challenge. A player who was picked as a project and built himself into a 2 time MVP and defensive player of the year, if you say someone like that is weak mentally how then do u define strong mentality.

PS: As per your earlier point about Westbrook, nobody has every questioned his mentality, the people who trash him do so on the basis of him shooting woes( which they also do to Giannis) and his inability to defer when neccesary

Petty jeering of the Clippers' fans. Even the bible says remember Kyrie (Luke 17:32).
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 4:49am On Jul 01, 2021
I recall saying a few days ago that all CP3 needs is to get his legs under him. The Suns will be praying for the Hawks if all players are fully healthy or the Bucks without Giannis.

Big congrats to CP3. After 16 seasons, aged 36 he makes his first NBA finals. It's never too late especially when you consider the narratives that have followed him.

YUP!...No way do they get to the Finals without Him. He has been their best player this playoffs and I Hope for His sake they do go on and win the whole thing with Him being named FMVP.

I'm with you with regards to Paul George. I know sh@$#ting on Him is most people's favourite past time and I have been guilty of that too but imo He should hold up His head high. The boy done good this Series

Massive Respect to Ty Lue. Dude has coached His butt off this playoffs. Had this team had a Doc or a Bud, no way would they have gone this far even with a Fit Kawhi. Props!

The Jazz now has some huge problem with Donovan. As constituted i do not see them winning anything when their supermax center can be played off the court in the playoffs.
Their problem going forward IMHO is that they havehandicapped themselves by giving Gorbert the supermax. If it was my play, i would have traded him to indiana for Turner and used the cap space to pursue an athletic wing.

Correlation is not equal to Causation, that has been established and I rested my case. Thank God nobody would say anybody was saying CP3 could not play. CP3 is the reason they won today but he is only a part of why they beat the Clippers. They won 2 games with him playing and 2 games without him. Without Zubac, Ibaka, Kawhi, the Suns without CP3 would have still beat these Clippers. We have evidence for it.

I saw how the media embraced the Brooklyn 3 and I knew all the criticism we faced when KD was here was propaganda. So now I want another superteam. I don't bloody care. grin
