Wow, I was on and off watching the Pels game so I didn't notice but Bridges played 47 minutes, had 31 points, and filled up the box score. That guy is unbelievably durable.
Sigh, rough day today. At least if the Suns close it out in 6 games, they'll start playing the Mavs earlier and perhaps be down Booker for more games of that series?
I wasn’t too bummed by the Suns-Pels result, since (a) I never thought the Pels had a realistic chance, and (b) I kinda think the Mavs are going to advance from that side of the bracket, anyway; and the Suns are more likely than the Pels to extract a pound of flesh before they do. Pels winning would be a short-term pleasure for us that would likely result in a well-rested opponent in the WCF.
The Wolves-Grizz result was painful, tho. The Wolves have (likely) bungled an extremely realistic chance of winning the series, which would have given us home court and (imho) a much more exploitable opponent in the second round.
but seriously it’s so annoying how guys like trae and morant get free throws by running into other guys while steph gets smacked every time he goes in the paint and rarely gets a call
Those guys want to get fouled more than they want to make the shot. Steph wants to make the shot more than he wants to get fouled. Not always the case, but often the case.

Suns up 3-2 in the series. Hopefully the Pels can extend the series by one more game by winning this Thursday.
Pels missed on some real opportunities to cut the lead… oh well
If only Mannion could have been our Alvarado
Nico’s three years younger than Alvarado and still under team control, so maybe some day?
If only Justinian Jessup could have been our Duncan Robinson
If only JE3 could've been our Jordan Poole, oh wait...
Whatever happens to the Pels, I'm a Herb Jones stan. And Alvarado also gets installed in my gilded underdog house.
And also, I want to see CP "Floppy" 3 eat it so bad. Come on Dubs, break his heart again!
If they don't find a way to lighten CP3's load (perhaps they will if Booker comes back), I think it's possible the Mavs might do that first
Suns got their three point shot back tonight. Pelicans, meanwhile, are unable to hit threes.
Pelicans are outmatched and may lose tonight, but they're not giving up.
I seriously like these pelicans because of that
well-coached
Definitely. Don't fire Willie Green, NO
I feel like I am palpably stupider after re-watching the ending sequences of the previous games on TNT's halftime show just now.
Suns up 59-46 at halftime
Looks like I’m about to be 0-3 in my desired outcomes for the evening

Hunters vs. Shooters
If you are hunting but not shooting, you might end up getting shot 🎯
Ja had 17 fts. I saw someone say he got 10 in the last 6 min
So on pace for about 60 per game to finish off the win in the 4th. Nice, nice.
The last half of the 4th quarter was pretty one-sided in terms of officiating
It was ridiculous but watching the highlights of our game the reffing was ridiculous too
That Morant push of Beverly out of bounds was pretty egregious....
*uncalled, that gave MEM the ball
What the heck is Booker (in street clothes) doing complaining to the refs? Who does he think he is, Lebron?
Am I crazy to think that the pels can win this?
You called the last game, so....
Something about the pels, man. They're making CP work too!
Pels should bring in Alvarado to slow down CP who already has 14 points
