It's just the disingenuous agenda the media continues to push. CP3 is obviously an all timer but some are making it seem like he is the lone reason they went from missing the playoffs to the 2nd seed is laughable. He's also hurting the team with how he plays in the half court against the Clippers and how he likes to slow it down when they need to push the ball. 

Clippers are ALWAYS in every game regardless how well they play. Super impressive, especially with how banged up they are. 

The zone with the small ball line up was a good wrinkle and Phoenix didn't figure out how to really deal with it. Curious to see how they adjust in game 6.

Give us a game 7 please!! 

People love narratives. It’s just that simple. I want CP3 to get a ring but this media push and agenda is out of hand. They beat the Lakers, albeit and injured one, and he was in large a part a negative for them. It’s actually crazy. It’s worst than the media push last year for Bron to get MVP.

Why is Booker not getting some heat. Ever since SAS called him the next Kobe he’s been lackluster. He needs to perform better. 

He’s having trouble breathing but I agree he needs to be better.  Last time he had a game 6 at Staples…

Well for starters....the Suns haven't lost a Series.   Losing one game with bad play, or even 2.....there will be some heat.   But when the team ends up winning, all gets forgotten pretty quickly.

If the Suns lose the series, then yeah, Booker's going to get scrutinized.   But given it's his first playoffs, and how he closed out the Lakers on Game 6, and how he rose up in game 1 without CP3 this series, he's going to have some leash.

The real issue from game 5 IMO is 2-fold - the Suns are letting the Clippers dictate a half-court game.  They should be pushing pace.    The Clippers are worn out, and showed clear signs of fatigue in game 4-5 - but the Suns slowed the O down in the 2H of game 4 and from the get-go in game 5.   That's got to stop.

The other issue is they put Booker as PG far too much when he was on fire - with Payne back, there's no reason to have Booker at PG.   Should have been CP3 and Payne, with the odd Booker run plays.    Hopefully when they look at the game 4-5 film, it becomes obvious for game 6.

So much pressure is on the Suns to close this out tomorrow. They want no part of a game 7. Clippers did a great job making Payne unplayable in the second half by just attacking him over and over till the Suns had to bench him. That's why you saw Booker playing PG at times. 

The NBA gonna save Scott Foster for a possible game 7 or are they gonna give us a Scott Foster master piece tomorrow

Somebody needs to kick CP3 in the *** - or do what wont be done - sit it on the bench.
He's playing the game as a Senior Citizen's pace.....and they're all in wheelchairs. The guy burns clock.

SAS just said the Clippers would be better moving on from Kawhi if they win a title this year. not a serious person
