I agree with all of this except one. Zion, to be fair, says he's ready to play. The team, admittedly is holding him back. They don't think he's healed enough.All they could talk about after the game was how Booker went out in the 3rd... While he did have a great 1st half... The Pels were still right there at half.... When I went back and looked - Booker played the 3rd all the way to the ~4min mark, and hadn't scored a point since halftime... The TNT guys were at a loss, and couldn't wrap their heads around the Suns losing, and were grasping for excuses for them.
This young group adjusted and shut Booker down.... and then he got hurt chasing Jaxson on a dunk he had no chance to stop.
Either way impressive road playoff win by a young team.
If they continue to win and give effort like this, and Zion (who is faking injury IMO) doesn't come back if pull a miracle series win over the Suns... I say Efff Zion... time to trade his big 12 burrito eatin' arse and move on.
