Another offensive rebound for Zubac.

Here come the fouls.

As he typically does, he put the ball on the floor rather than going straight up once he got it. Because of that, he blew his chance.

I'm convinced a major factor for DA having a down year is not having Crowder next to him. I hate Crowder with a passion for what he pulled on us this season but he contributed a lot to covering up a lot of our mistakes on defense, boxing out to allow DA and others to grab boards.

Yes, you can’t deny his thirst for the game. I remember him locking up AD or was it Lebron few years ago in playoffs? Regardless who it was his defense is heavily missed.

We can't expect to win giving up third and fourth opportunities like that

Worth every draft pick and every player traded. That Larry O is ours! (to lose)

Get Ayton out of there man. He’s always caught day dreaming out there.

Clippers knew that's all they got aside from Kawhi

If they can win those scrambles for 2nd/3rd/4th opportunities, especially around the paint, those are high percentage buckets for them.

That's 1 of the reasons I'd love for us to add Grant Williams onto this team. He's exactly what we need: a dirty work player who can switch onto everyone and isn't afraid of anyone. He can hit the 3 and do a little bit of everything.

He'd be my first call this summer and I would offer him the full MLE.

Suns look terrible. On D and O. A less talented (but deeper) Clips team playing and coaching circles around us again. I think our talent edge should also win out again (how are we only down 2?) but this kind of ball has zero shot at a championship. Suns need to show some damn heart

So much natural chemistry b/w Book and KD. It's beautiful to watch, albeit dragged down a bit by our lack of sharpshooting role players.

Sure. Anything would be better at this point.

I like him. He's got a mean streak to him

Book is doing his part, and KD has picked it up too. it hasnt trickled down to everyone else yet. CP3 needs to do more.

I think Landale would be more effective vs Big Zoob. Got to put a body on him. He has consistently bullied Ayton for boards.

Need our big tickets to start punching in. No point to cry about DA. This isnt one of his 1 in 4 good games

Who will be top three performers for game 1?
