Clippers just need to run their offense, stop force feeding Kawhi.

That's the crazy part, if he wasn't so hell-bent on forcing up shots all night, we'd all be praising him for his defense. This is where a real coach would step in and get him to calm down and refocus. He's obviously thinking too much about getting one over on KD instead of what's best for the team.

This will be the Clipper's first ever Game 1 win under Tyronn Lue after going down 2-0 in every single round of the 2021 NBA Playoffs.

No more surrendering games though. To prove they have matured, Clippers must go up 3-0 for the automatic series win.

The big early lead was almost guaranteed to evaporate unless this was one of those games where an opponent just stays cold and your team keeps making everything

Why the **** do the league and refs want to help the Suns so badly? They have no likeable players and nobody outside of Phoenix can stand them. Like damn, put the whistles away already.

Of course, basketball is a game of runs. But Lue is just standing there letting the Suns go on double digit runs and you’re scoring zero points and turning the ball over. It’s inexcusable.

As much as I've been trashing Russ tonight, he's been absolutely huge down the stretch here.
