I personally want someone covering the inbound passer here, and make it a tougher pass

NBA officiating is a fucking joke. The coaches had to tell a veteran official the rules.

Ayton's reaction to the play was incredible. He was almost in shock that he won the game.

Clearly an officiating travesty with the attempted substitutions at the end, but it seems like at some point the team attempting to pull that BS should be penalized. Clippers knew exactly what they were doing, and caused a huge delay when they had no timeouts. Should be a technical.

I love all this suns hype going life and death in 2 games vs a dead team without Kawhi.

Bucks are gonna slap these dudes up

I’d be so livid if a Celtic missed 2 free throws like Paul George did

Ayton seems like a great guy - also maybe like 35 years old

lol wow, what a finish.

Imagine how perplexed anyone following the boxscore online for the last minute (i.e. like 20 real minutes) would have been?

Suns hype is because of 9 straight in the postseason against the Lakers Nuggets and Clippers. The Clippers without Kawhi won two straight against the 1 seed. The Suns also don’t have CP3

Yah. The clippers are gassed
11th straight game on one days rest. They have traveled 7 times in that span.
Clippers look absolutely gassed here down the stretch in the fourth quarter. 15 games in 31 days and injuries will do that.

The Suns drafted Dragan Bender and Josh Jackson. The Celtics drafted Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. The Suns are going to win a NBA title. It’s really painful being a Celtics fan.

Yep. And keep at it. Took multiple times yelling at them before Jackson was finally removed. Total joke.
I mean...seriously? Like I know that rule and if I know the rule that's a very fucking low bar. What a joke.
Yeah Ayton is really likable.
Pandemic P strikes again!
True on both counts. I can't stand CP3, but the Suns are fun w/out him.
If it's a rule, it needs to be changed. The ball was clearly in the cylinder.
Why? It's a dead ball and you can't shoot it into the basket.

They also drafted Booker 13th

That screen, pass and tip under those circumstances is one of the best plays I've ever seen. Three things done well with no room for error.
