There were several dirty plays by the Suns. Did you see the one where they shoved Lebron to the floor from the back?

I don't mind hard playoff basketball. I kinda expect it.

But what Booker did was just dirty. I know he was getting frustrated but that took it too far.

KCP with quad contusion. Will have MRI tomorrow to check everything out. This guy, who has been on point diagnosing injuries in the past, seems to think he should be ok.



Also, Davis said post-game he hyperextended his knee in the 2nd quarter but was able to keep it loose. Something to keep an eye on going forward

A hefty fine at the very least but a suspension would not really surprise me. And to be honest I think that would be fair too.
He may have ruined any chance the Suns had, because all Phoenix had to is win one of the two games In Los Angeles. It's not like the Lakers played to their potential yet. if Booker had been ejected considerably sooner, that would have ended it, but with only 35 seconds left in the game, He hasn't really been punished. Without Booker, the Lakers easily go up 3 to 1

Punk-ass move. And all he did was tell the Lakers that they got to him. Which means he better expect it again Sunday...

Yep I thought the exact same thing. You can bet your ass the Lakers are going to use this to their advantage. Booker already got a tech earlier in the game too.

I mean, no one 6'10" or over should constantly shoot fadeaways...

Attack the fuckin basket...!

His fadeaway is so nice though! It is almost unblockable because of his length and lift. Like Dirk.

There are a lot of other 6’10 + dudes that can challenge the shot when he goes straight at the rim.

Totally get it, coach. But but as I'm sure you already know AD has a variety of ways to score. And when his fade ain't dropping he has to go to the rest of his arsenal...

For sure.

All I am saying is that fadeaway is what sets him apart from other big men. He can do both. Most bigs don’t have that.

I don't see Booker getting suspended for that push last night. Probably get fined, but I'd be shocked if he was suspended. It was a dirty play, but he didn't punch anyone or start a fight.

The Lakers won the series when CP3 got hurt.
