The suns are extremely free throw adverse, especially with booker out. Ayton has been a historically low free throw generator his whole career for a center with his play style, and cp3 only averages about 2-3 free throws too. When your two best offensive players (sans booker) combine for 5 free throws a game, you can’t expect too many free throws for the team
There are only a few players that drive the "so called bus", Kenny Smith is a 2 time champion as the teams point guard, he contributed to that teams success. The fact that Charles brings up who drives the bus actually speaks on his saltiness for not winning a championship 🏆. Charles Barkley, yeah he drove the bus, but never made it to School 🏫.

Also they had 2 more points in the paint but that doesnt mean they were driving into the lane into defenders which the pelicans did all night
The Phoenix Suns and the New Orleans Pelicans are both great teams. The Suns have a Chance to win a Championship now and the Pelicans could be a championship team in the future!
It's not much for the Suns to figure out. The one thing you can't do is let another team work harder than you. That's literally the only controllable thing. Playoffs are simple...leave everything on the court...win or go home. Fight for every single game like that's the last game because it can be.
bro idk how this season will end for them but if they can get Zion back and he can stay healthy New Orleans can make some noise 💯 they have two LEGIT scores in BI & CJ, a solid veteran big in Valanciunas, Alvarado & Jones showes what they can do, a soon to be great coach in Willie Green.. the Pelicans are coming 💯💯💯
But if he does come back, Zion needs to come off the bench and play 16 mins a game. Pelicans have a strong chemistry right now, can't risk Zion messing that up
I feel like they need to trade Zion and make Ingram the focal point of the offense. He has all the skillet to be the elite scorer and is showing it in the playoffs. If they can get good role 3 and D wing players, and some draft picks for Zion. I would just make the deal. He doesn't want to be in NOLA anyway

I've been on the Herbert Jones train all yr ..haven't heard much Willie green love great coach great adjustments after cp3 roasted them in game 3 ..Ingram a beast wish Zion was playing they'de be a real force ready to make some noise
There is a legit reason to be concerned for the Suns without Book. I mentioned this stat before game 3. Since the Pels slow start in the 1st half of the 1st game of this series, they have outscored the Suns 419-388 after 4 games. That’s a 31 pt disparity!!!! CP3 is wearing down due to the aggression of this young, feisty, long, and athletic Pels team. Monty made the FT disparity comment, but he forgot to add that the Suns have turned into a jump shooting team since Book’s injury. Herb Jones is quietly making a name for himself in this league. He will be an elite defender in this league!!!
The Suns have outscored them in the paint in the series mate. It's the only thing that's helped them win 2 games because the 3 point shooting has been terrible
Chuck really got the point on the issue of CP3 needs to save the energy for forth to take it over, old players just can't play the entire game with great effort coz they would be tired af and again it's a series, not determined by a single, preserving the energy is also a task for guys like Paul at this moment. (When we look book to Bron, it's weird to hear that ppl actually expect him play like a superstar for four quarter, that standard for him is just awarded af)
the pelicans may not win this series but they've shown how deep their team will be with zion back. Possibly a title contending team in the near future, especially if the young guys continue to get better.
This pelicans team with Zion can & will easily be a 50 win team next year. This isn't a team that people should be looking over anymore, they're here to play for the next couple of years.
Suns, the best team all year according to the experts, is struggling against the Pelicans without Booker. Meanwhile the Bucks, who were going under the radar, have 2 blowout wins by 50 at Chicago, since Middleton injury.
The Bucks were 4-0 against the Bulls in regular season so their win is not a surprise, IMO the true series will start in the second round against Boston
@@jdelgado216 hey when the media are making it such a big deal when Bucks lose Khris and lode game 2, then you have to give them their flowers when they obliterate the Bulls at Chicago.
Free throw disparity is not evidence on its own of unfair calls. Teams could have both taken 30 free throws and that still doesn’t mean anything. If you can’t point to call imbalance on specific plays, then there is no real evidence.
Normally when the FT discrepancy is that high, I would smell a little foul. But I watched the full game and I can tell you that the pels earned every single one of those FT. Be it hustling for 50/50s, attacking the basket relentlessly in the half court and full court after every phoenix basket.
A. Monty is classy af even when he disagrees with the ref. B. Imagine if Zion actually gave af about New Orleans? Man, they'd be a problem. But Zion going to New York with RJ so... 🤷🏾♂️
The suns are in trouble. Like chuck said CP3 is alternating big scoring games and he cannot afford to do that with Book out. Ayton can give you 20+ but who else can if CP3 is struggling ? The pelicans have BI & CJ who are combining for 50+ per game. Idk if that suns can match that. They have to play perfect offensive games to win this series without Book.
I think one of Phoenix's biggest downfall are there starting lineup they don't match up well against the New Orleans Pelicans they need to figure out a different match up of guys new orleans has too much length and I feel like they are playing the wrong guys against the wrong positions.
the pelicans are really so threatening as a dark horse because they only really played like this in the beginning of the year after building that unimpressive record. they remind of the switch-up with boston and we all know what’s happening in their series.
Ya'll lost by double digits I don't wanna hear the Suns crying about FTs. When you sit at the 3 point line and throw up 3s... you tend to not get many foul calls.

I'm a Suns fan but I'm really excited for a potential Game 7! Pelicans can't be taken lightly, they have an excellent roster
The crazy part is this is only the first round still hard to believe !
come on TNT, 360p? What is this, 1996?
This usually happens when you're early to videos...
Zion looks like a 14yr old veteran on the bench
CP3 4points👀 I don't wanna hear about Booker being out Zion is the pelicans best player
I've been on the Herbert Jones train all yr ..haven't heard much Willie green love great coach great adjustments after cp3 roasted them in game 3 ..Ingram a beast wish Zion was playing they'de be a real force ready to make some noise
"The inside guys react to everyone but the Bucks"
Love Ernie’s hey hey hey
It will be the Biggest shocker If ever Suns lost to the Pelicans in the first round…
And suns fans were toxic enough already talking about the chip
Satire ? Lol
There is a legit reason to be concerned for the Suns without Book. I mentioned this stat before game 3. Since the Pels slow start in the 1st half of the 1st game of this series, they have outscored the Suns 419-388 after 4 games. That’s a 31 pt disparity!!!! CP3 is wearing down due to the aggression of this young, feisty, long, and athletic Pels team. Monty made the FT disparity comment, but he forgot to add that the Suns have turned into a jump shooting team since Book’s injury. Herb Jones is quietly making a name for himself in this league. He will be an elite defender in this league!!!
Pelicans are missing 26 PPG at the highest efficiency in the league in Zion, I don't want to hear "the Suns dont' have Booker".
What an achievement from Nola. Good luck for next games.
Crying about freethrows, heard it all now. You gotta get in to the paint to get freethrows mate.
The Suns have outscored them in the paint in the series mate. It's the only thing that's helped them win 2 games because the 3 point shooting has been terrible
@ Jackson Bryant Phoenix has more points in the paint
Chuck really got the point on the issue of CP3 needs to save the energy for forth to take it over, old players just can't play the entire game with great effort coz they would be tired af and again it's a series, not determined by a single, preserving the energy is also a task for guys like Paul at this moment. (When we look book to Bron, it's weird to hear that ppl actually expect him play like a superstar for four quarter, that standard for him is just awarded af)
the pelicans may not win this series but they've shown how deep their team will be with zion back. Possibly a title contending team in the near future, especially if the young guys continue to get better.
This pelicans team with Zion can & will easily be a 50 win team next year. This isn't a team that people should be looking over anymore, they're here to play for the next couple of years.
Suns, the best team all year according to the experts, is struggling against the Pelicans without Booker.
Meanwhile the Bucks, who were going under the radar, have 2 blowout wins by 50 at Chicago, since Middleton injury.
Underrated comment
The Bucks were 4-0 against the Bulls in regular season so their win is not a surprise, IMO the true series will start in the second round against Boston
@@jdelgado216 hey when the media are making it such a big deal when Bucks lose Khris and lode game 2, then you have to give them their flowers when they obliterate the Bulls at Chicago.
@@jdelgado216 Boston will clap the bucks once rob is fully integrated into the starting 5 again Celtics defense best in nba in last 5 years
@@prchdm not really, the Bucks are just a bad matchup for the Bulls they lack size to battle them
Free throw disparity is not evidence on its own of unfair calls. Teams could have both taken 30 free throws and that still doesn’t mean anything.
If you can’t point to call imbalance on specific plays, then there is no real evidence.
Normally when the FT discrepancy is that high, I would smell a little foul. But I watched the full game and I can tell you that the pels earned every single one of those FT. Be it hustling for 50/50s, attacking the basket relentlessly in the half court and full court after every phoenix basket.
Have an amazing week beautiful people.
A. Monty is classy af even when he disagrees with the ref. B. Imagine if Zion actually gave af about New Orleans? Man, they'd be a problem. But Zion going to New York with RJ so... 🤷🏾♂️
Ernie said, "hey hay haaay" LOL! This man has been to a few cookouts!!
The suns are in trouble. Like chuck said CP3 is alternating big scoring games and he cannot afford to do that with Book out. Ayton can give you 20+ but who else can if CP3 is struggling ? The pelicans have BI & CJ who are combining for 50+ per game. Idk if that suns can match that. They have to play perfect offensive games to win this series without Book.
I think one of Phoenix's biggest downfall are there starting lineup they don't match up well against the New Orleans Pelicans they need to figure out a different match up of guys new orleans has too much length and I feel like they are playing the wrong guys against the wrong positions.
Phoenix in trouble
the pelicans are really so threatening as a dark horse because they only really played like this in the beginning of the year after building that unimpressive record. they remind of the switch-up with boston and we all know what’s happening in their series.
If I’m the Suns I’m extremely worried.
Chuck's buss never reached its destination 😂, that's a good comeback for you Kenny
Ya'll lost by double digits I don't wanna hear the Suns crying about FTs. When you sit at the 3 point line and throw up 3s... you tend to not get many foul calls.
@Will Hardy but explain how Phoenix has more points in the paint if they just stand and Chuck 3s
@@JV-in9kk Their 2 centers combined for 37.
I agree with Kenny 100% on the suns being a humpshooting team. They never really attacked the rim hence the low free throws.
They only shot 3 threes more…
