The Suns are the 1st team in NBA history to reach the Conference Finals after entering the season with a 10-year playoff drought
The Suns have won 7 straight playoff games.
They’ve won by an average of 16.3 points in that span
This is the first playoff sweep in Chris Paul’s career.
4 more wins to his first Finals
Chris Paul closes it out.
37 PTS
7 AST
14-19 FG
It’s his most points in a playoff game since 2018
Chris Paul dropped 37 points without taking a three tonight.
That ties Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most points ever without a 3PA by a 36-year old or older in a playoff game
Chris Paul was averaging career-lows in 2018-19.
— 15.6 PPG
— 42/36/86%
— 17.0 PPG in playoffs
— 45/27/84% in playoffs
Then he went vegan.
— 17.0 PPG
— 49/38/92%
— 18.0 PPG in playoffs
— 50/39/90% in playoffs
— Led OKC to playoffs after Russ/PG left
— Led Suns to WCF
Chris Paul (@CP3) made 6 mid-range jumpers in the 3rd quarter.
That is tied for the most by any player in a playoff quarter over the last 20 seasons.
The last player to do this was LeBron James in 2018
Devin Booker in closeout games this playoffs:
81 PTS
22 REB
55.3 FG%
55.6 3P%
95.0 FT%
Absolute monster
Jae Crowder had a big defensive impact in the 1st half.
He blocked 4 shots, tied for the most in a half by a Suns player in the 25 postseasons.
The Nuggets shot 0-5 when Crowder was the primary defender
Nikola Jokic is the 5th MVP to be swept in a playoff series, and 1st since Magic Johnson in the 1989 Finals vs the Pistons.
Jokic is also the 2nd MVP to be ejected in the last 25 postseasons (Steph Curry in 2016)
The MVP in the playoffs:
29.8 PPG
11.6 RPG
5.0 APG
51/38/84%
Aaron Gordon in the Suns series:
9.0 PPG
3.8 RPG
41.0 FG%
0.0 3P% (0-8)
Fun fact: This is the first playoff matchup ever with the same jersey sponsor — Motorola
The Bucks went on a 16-2 run with Giannis at center in the first half
Giannis today:
34 PTS
12 REB
+29 +/-
It’s his 12th 30/10 playoff game — more than any other Bucks not named Kareem in franchise history combined

שמואל1 כתב:דנבר ממש אכזבה. הם שווים הרבה יותר מסוויפ.
אחדשיודע כתב:אחדשיודע כתב:אני חושב שלא במקרה הכוכבים של הלייקרס ומיאמי (שכבר הודחה בסוויפ ע״י מילווקי), הפיינלסטיות של השנה שעברה, נראים כמו שהם נראים בשלב הזה של העונה. במקרה של לברון, הגיל והפציעה בקרסול כמובן משחקים תפקיד מרכזי באיך שהוא נראה כרגע, אבל זה שילוב של כל הדברים גם יחד. הרי בסוף דבר מוביל לדבר. הם שיחקו עד כמעט אמצע אוקטובר וחזרו להתאמן בערך חודש וחצי אח״כ, בלו״ז פסיכי של משחקים. זה לא משהו נורמלי. הלייקרס ומיאמי, ואולי גם בוסטון ודנבר (שהגיעו לגמרים האזוריים), הן כנראה הנפגעות העיקריות בעונה הז מצפיפות הלו״ז שנכפתה עקב הקורונה. דנבר איבדה את מארי עוד לפני הפלייאוף, בוסטון את ג׳יילן בראון. הייתי מסכם את זה בשתי מילים - עייפות החומר. יחד עם זאת, כמו שאותן קבוצות נפגעו השנה, אפשר להגיד שהן (לפחות חלקן) נהנו מעצם הפסקת הליגה בעונה שעברה, שאיפשרה להם למלא את המצבר לפני תחילת הפלייאוף בבועה ולהגיע לשיא בזמן הנכון.
אגב בוסטון, גם היא כבר הודחה הלילה בסיבוב הראשון - אחרי הפסד נוסף לברוקלין. 109:123 ו-1:4 בסדרה.
אז מבין הקבוצות שהגיעו לגמרים האזוריים בבועה - דנבר היא היחידה שלא הודחה בסיבוב הראשון של הפלייאוף הנוכחי. ובסיבוב הבא היא תפגוש את פיניקס המצוינת.

Well now we know it’s Kawhi’s ACL. The next step is determining the degree of the sprain and the subsequent treatment. Very few NBA cases have avoided surgery but a low-grade sprain would be the best case scenario and leave open that possibility
Jae Crowder sprained his ACL and avoided surgery during the 2015 playoffs but a recovery timeline is difficult to establish as Boston was eliminated in that contest
