NBA PLAYOFFS: GAME 1: (5) Los Angeles Clippers @ (4) Phoenix Suns l Sunday l 5:00 l TNT

[OneZilion]

We will win this series, but not looking good some things…

bench almost no exist

dont understand why Kd didnt take more shots really?

Ayton has to be more aggresive on boards

[TeamTragic]

Okogie 7 minutes
Ross 4 minutes
Warren 0 minutes
Lee 0 minutes

Shamet 24 minutes

Warren played ZERO minutes today.

Absolute joke.

This is a **** disgrace

I had to look because I thought ok maybe I am overreacting and Shamet hasn't played that much even if he's ****.

No, it is that bad. He got 24 minutes in a playoffs game. Landry **** Shamet has been ordained our 6th man. He has somehow miraculously beat out all those players despite them all playing better than him in the regular season. Comeback of the century.

[Revived]

That was disgraceful man. Wasted a complete game from Booker.

Ayton was checked out even before the series started.

I mean can we get him a therapist?

This was more of a defensive battle. We played fairly well, didn't shoot well from 3, though that was likely largely because of tough D. They didn't shoot that well from 3 either. Kawhi is just a force in the playoffs and Westbrook is going to create havoc too...they have some shooters as well (of course we do too). I think we should win game 2 fairly easily, though Westbrook could have a good shooting game and make it tough.

Lue will likely make a lot of adjustments along the way to outcoach Monty, but Monty of course has more talen ont so although tight, we should still take the series unless George comes back by game 6. I don't expect to win it in 5.

More talent than Lue has available? Where? When does it show up?

Well, KD and Kawhi are probably equal. Booker is far better than anyone else out there as is Paul. Their depth is better.

I always thought they were our toughest matchup if healthy and if they had George I didn't want to see him. I kind of wanted to play GS anyway, even with George out, because of the Clips wings and crazy defense. Plus the Warriors have been awful on the road.

But without George we have more star power. It's more even on star power with George there, and they have the better depth.

Kawhi always scares me more than any 1 player. He is one of five players in NBA history to score more in the playoffs than in the regular season. And usually more efficiently. That's very tough to do considering your SOS is considerably tougher.

[Revived]

everyone will look at the stats and tell how good booker played, but he missed key FTs, had key turnovers.
this team has to get the order of stars in line.
it should be KD.
but cocky booker is to egoistic

KD looked like he didn't want to be that guy tonight. Book had no choice

Yeah KD was deferring even when Booker and CP3 kept going to him. He’s always been soft, he wants no part of the smoke.

[starbosa10]

Only 7 minutes for okogie? Wtf

[lilfishi22]

Westbrook goes 3-19 and we lose. Get dominated by him. Are we going to get swept or will we at least go out like gentlemen? Does Monty get fired if we get swept?

100%

I don't think any coach with KD survives getting swept

[MrMiyagi]

Remember folks, this is the best Chris and KD will be for the rest of their careers. We cooked.

It seems like you’re very excited that the Suns lost this. I don’t get it.

suns lost the game at the end of the third.
that stretch with point booker.
led by 8, missed two fts. that was game over

I know you have the mental capacity of a brick wall, but maybe look at the other 4 players on the court during that stretch and you’ll realize what the problem was.

i know exactly who was on the court at that time, but you can not tell me that other players beside KD would have made a difference with Booker at PG. It did not work.
you can go back and blame the FO for not having a veteran 3rd string PG to do the duties.
booker had 5 turnovers, key misses and the last posession.
but yeah this is what we pay hm supermax money for don't we?

[Sunlight]

Trade Booker and bring Markkanen/Dunn.

[grumpysaddle]

Shamet plus minutes equals loss and I'm not paid millions of dollars to use my basketball brain.

[MrMiyagi]

My favorite part of this game is getting the ball into KD's hands twice in the final 5 minutes of the game and scored 5 points and then never let him touch the ball again!

Literally anyone else would have been better. We have 8 other dudes we can bring in and be better.

Priorities.

Im not so much worried about the guy who got 26 points as I am the mfer who somehow got 24 minutes and a team worst -14, and the guy who we pay max money who got 8 rebounds and let Plumlee, Zubac, and Westbrook all get 11, 15(!!!!!!), and 10 rebounds each.

When this Clippers win this series, I'm guessing James Jones and Monty get fired. I wish this was just sour grapes after a bitterly disappointing Suns loss, but like all of you, I saw a Suns team that was not prepared to play and clearly didn't have an answer for the Clippers defense. Like we saw with Dallas last year, a superior coach has his team ready to do the dirty work and play together.

Sure, the Suns haven't been together for long. Sure, they have a center who got his bag and that put out whatever competitive fire we have seen in previous playoffs. Sure, D-Book coughed it up at the end. And one more "sure"... they sure didn't show any of us that they can take a punch, even with Durant here now.

I don't even want to get into the fact that it will be very hard to improve this team next year, but this so-called championship contender looks more like hype-machine 2023 than anything else. What a pile of sh*t. I can't say, "eff this team" because I love them, but I can say that I don't believe in them right now and I sincerely hope they prove me wrong.

That ish Jock Okogie group just can’t play together

No offense

Does Ish get even signed to a 2 way roster anywhere else? He is on our main roster getting crucial minutes in the 4th. I don't understand what he brings to the table.
