Clippers in 6 I dont see how Suns can beat them they are shooting the lights out.

We are going to have to shoot well no matter what. Jazz shot 50% from 3 in this game and are going to lose by about 10.

Make a sub, neither Conley nor Gorbert can stop anyone. Bring in shooters.

We have a lot better perimeter defenders. All of our wings, Payne and even Ayton can close quickly and contest. Of course they work to get open ones so we have to at least make it difficult.

But we have to make them pay when they double Ayton and hit our 3s and we need to take care of the ball.

We rotate to shooters faster.

Gobert doesn't play for the suns he is getting exposed because he is such a liability on offense, suns much better equipped to handle the clips and they are have a hot shooting night, Suns in 6!

Leaving Gobert in lost them this game. They had 5 shooters out there and Gobert barely ever stepped out of the paint to guard his man. The Clippers definitely exposed that matchup. I am a little worried for Ayton against this lineup, but Ayton has shown some decent ability to guard the perimeter better than Gobert.

Can't believe Jazz were up 23 in the 3rd.

Ayton can also punish them on the offensive end Gobert is awful on offense

He was one of the league leaders in contested 3s. Contested 3s leaders down the page here...

He certainly wasn't in this series and he was just awful offensively

I'm talking about Ayton. He was 6th in contested 3s in the entire NBA, 5th in contested 2s and 4th in overall contested shots.

He was also 3rd in screen assists which you can see on that link. I talked about this quite a bit during the season even when everyone was bashing him he was on these hustle leader lists.

It’s just funny to me that game 1 of the east is Wednesday and was always going to have 3 days in between if the hawks closed out tonight.

Ayton can guard small players much better than Gobert and, if he can't do it, we can play something like Payne, Booker, Bridges, Crowder, Craig.

Assuming our games will be 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 2.

That leaves a very tight timeline for Paul.

They aren't shooting like that every night
