    I'll be honest, this sort of thing really rankles me. For as much progress is being made, and as close as we're getting to a return to normalcy, our country is still averaging close to 600 deaths per day. To put that in perspective, at the height of the Vietnam war, we were losing 300 GIs per WEEK. Some things are more important than fan attendance at a playoff game. I can't be the only person on here who lost a family member to this virus. We're so close to the end. Let's not lose our humanity at the 5-yard line.

    7500 people can make a lot of noise.

    Sorry to hear about your loss. Words fail.

    What are you suggesting though? The numbers for LA County are better right now than any other major metro area in the country.

    I don't really have an opinion one way or another on the the appropriate number of fans, especially if they have sections reserved for the fully vaccinated. I'd love it if we could fill up Staples with loud, raucous Laker fans. I took issue with the suggestion that this was really just about the mayor and governor being "p******," and not about safety concerns. Just feels like that is blatant disregard for a still very real risk, to say nothing of the ongoing human cost, and wrapped in what I sense is a general belief by the OP that all of these COVID restrictions were just needless political tools all along, and that the COVID pandemic was some trumped up hoax.

    EDIT: I am absolutely NOT trying to invite a political discussion here, as I don't think that really has any place on a website like this. But I did feel it necessary to call out what I felt was an insensitive statement, and then I was asked for an explanation. Happy to move on.

    They are p****** .... covid aside. Gov being recalled for being all over the map with his edicts plus being a hippocrite at the height of this trauma and mayor garnering the nickname, "Mayor yoga pants" on a local AM radio show. :clap: ;) ;)

    We are not going down this rabbit hole again. Please refrain from discussion that can be construed as political.

    Some truly awful calls by Scott Foster, Booker being a dirty, whiny punk, and definitely us missing so many open threes, those have got to start falling.

    And ... of course we have CP3 whining as if Scott Foster stole this game from them. What a clownish take.



    The league should (but won't) take a serious look at suspending Booker.

    Foster and CP3 do have a history, but CP3 also has a persecution complex. And yes, if this were the regular season Booker might be suspended, but they won’t even look into it because it’s the playoffs, and that’s fine, I’d prefer to beat them at full strength. But yeah that wasn’t a play on the ball, that was like when an 8 year old gets mad at his dad when he’s beatin him badly in a game of 21 and so he pushes and hits him. Incredibly childish, and really pathetic, Booker is weak minded.

    Booker AND Crowder both should have gotten flagrant 2's. They both frickin pinballed Schroder to the ground. At least Crowder got ejected anyway. Both should be suspended for Sunday's game.

    What in the world is giving the Suns the idea to keep trash talking us and making dirty plays? They have never won a thing. Booker is a punk, Crowder a fake tough guy, and Bridges and Payne are nobodies. Ridiculous to act like this against the reigning champs. CP3 talks too much too especially since he’s a choke artist who can’t ever win a ring.

    I wonder if Booker learned this childish attitude from CP3 (or CP3 is enabling it), or if he has been known to be like this?

    You ever witness a fight where a guy gets his a** kicked but afterwards is still talking like the fight is still on?

    Chris Paul, ladies and gentlemen.

    I remember Booker being whiny and entitled since he was a rookie. There was the whole whining about double teams shouldn’t be allowed in pickup games too lol. I think Paul has made is worse though, I don’t remember him being dirty like this before CP3 got there.

    Foster might just see through CPFlop's flopping all these years... still Scott Foster is an egomaniac trying steal the show and tries to bring his own narrative on the game.
