NBA Fans React To Suns Taking 2-1 Lead Over Pelicans Behind Chris Paul Double-Double: “This Just Shows CP3 Don’t Need Devin Booker. Suns In 5.”

Chris Paul has recently led the Phoenix Suns to a win against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Phoenix Suns now have a 2-1 lead over the New Orleans Pelicans, and they have taken the advantage in the series.

Many people thought that the New Orleans Pelicans would have the advantage in the series with Devin Booker being out, and Draymond Green even claimed that they have the two best players in the series in Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum.

That loss (Booker’s injury) gives New Orleans the two best players on the court. Which is hard to overcome. No disrespect to CP. CP is 37. I don’t personally think CP is going to give you all of that for 48 straight minutes at this age.

While Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum are both great players, it is clear that Chris Paul had no intentions of losing this game. After the game, a lot of fans reacted to Chris Paul’s performance, with many praising him for his fantastic game, as he finished with 28 points and 14 assists.

There is no doubt that this win is going to put all of the pressure on the New Orleans Pelicans. They absolutely have to win Game 4, so that they can avoid dropping to a 3-1 deficit.

It is not going to be easy for the Pelicans to beat the Phoenix Suns, even without Devin Booker playing. They have a good amount of talent, and Chris Paul showed that he can still will a team to victory, though he did have a lot of help from Deandre Ayton as well.

It remains to be seen what sort of adjustments the New Orleans Pelicans will make going into Game 4. Hopefully, the changes are enough for them to even up the series at 2-2.
