What was that EJ?

Zu was talking about how badly he wanted another chance at the Suns, and he's rising to the challenge so far. Love to see it.

There you go, Russ!

Zubac has had a great first half, killing it

A lead is a lead, obviously didn't expect Durant to not make shots in the game. Both teams have mucked things up a bit, both with solid defensive intensity

These refs are a joke, but what else is new.

Incompetent refs

Clips shot themselves in the foot with some live ball turnovers and speeding the game up, they need to get it back to a snails pace and going back to attacking the rim on offense.

good team play, nothing lucky or spectacular

but PHX started hitting shots and near-evened it up in hurry

The refs are the Suns' MVP.

Westbrook has got to stop shooting

Is Lue going to coach or just watch the game? Russ doesn't have it tonight. He needs to sit.

MartinToVaught · Post #33 » by **MartinToVaught** » Mon Apr 17, 2023 1:53 am

Yet another timeout by our "genius" coach that did nothing but set up our next turnover. So sick of Lue, man. He can't coach without LeBron or Atkinson making him look good. Still forcing the three-guard lineups, still keeping RoCo glued to the bench for no reason, and he won't even consider changing anything until we're down 0-2.

Shame on me for actually getting fooled by the hot start tonight, this team is still a joke.

You have to bench Russ here, way too out of control

Demoralizing. Lue and his BS game 1 is a feel out game and then make adjustments.

I like Russ is being aggressive but he’s shooting us out of the game.

anyone surprised lol

There was certainly no strategy that involved Westbrook leading the team in FGA. Torey Craig as also done a good job as the 5th guy on the court taking advantage of the easy opportunities.

Why is Westbrook still in the game?

That’s Lue’s default excuse. It’s the playoffs, not the regular season.

He's a veteran and a household name. That's all Lue cares about, not what's actually happening on the court.
