Lets see how the bench lineups can botch things up this quarter.

They're gonna have their hands full with CLV. Twin towers of Mobes and AfroThunder are enough to shut down Gianiis and Jrue can't cover Mitchell and Garland at the same time.

Thank God for Torrey Craig. Nice to see Book finally get going from 3 too with that nice halftime shot. I think he had missed like 14 straight in the playoffs before that. Had been looking like Crowder out there from deep in the playoffs.

It's because Craig has an impact with the second unit and Monty actually gives him regular minutes, while okogie isn't as adept with the second unit and Monty doesn't give him any minutes


Okogie just doesn't have the size to defend Kawhi, and KD guarding him full time is asking for foul trouble. Okogie will end up playing the second most minutes off the bench at this rate anyways. Craig is playing really well.



Neither does Craig, the problem isn't Craig or okogie it's Monty, no bench players other than Shamet are getting regular minutes or rotations, it's a mess and mo one has any rhythm, coaching failure.

And if it wasn't for the Suns shooting almost 20 percent better than the Clips this would be a blowout

Literally anyone in the Arena beside money stack douche
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Because he's not son in law material. Apparently neither are a lot of significantly better players on our bench.

I agree, but MIL meets CLV in the second round...where they can lose. Cavs are tough.

Craig has like 4-5 inches on Okogie. Our bench sucks, none of these dudes are saving us. It's the Booker and KD show.

Lucky clips can't throw it in the ocean.

Warriors would have routed us

Kawhi going to avg 40 not sure Craig has much effect

Last game Suns bench scored 10 points, tonight 4. That’s ridiculous meaning starters must play heavy minutes.
