Great complete game from everyone. Some crazy stuff, like that Paul prayer shot. Good stuff.

Just amazed how awesome Devin Booker has been. Dude is doing everything he can for the Suns to win. He’s already the greatest Sun of all time but damn, he’s going to be a HOF one day. He’s incredible and such a humble guy. Love that he’s the face of our franchise. The way he approaches the game is just unreal. We are so lucky to have him.

No we wouldn’t ! U don’t understand sports or basketball. We would have a different game plan and so would they. It would never be a sweep but it would be an even series or who knows

He gets to pick his spots. He's 3rd option now behind Book and KD. Teams aren't throwing the weight of their defense against him the length of the court.


He has been bad outside of a couple of quarters this series.

Better just hope we dont have to go up against the Kings or Warriors because I would think a fast paced team would make 45 min/game hard even if our guys are taking breaks on offense.

We're a more dangerous team in the long run if we can get a the bench involved just a bit more.

I don't know if you noticed but the SUNS have barely played defense against the Clippers outside the first two games.

There is a reason Westbrook/Powell put up those numbers.

Good catch. Also, Shamet took it easy shooting cause next series vs Nuggets is more important. Why waste his shooting energy when it will be needed in the next round.

And this from Durant...

Asked about how he's handling the heavier minutes, Kevin Durant asked, "How'd I look tonight?"

Chris Paul adds in: "Talk to 'em."

Durant finishes: "I missed a lot of time this season, so I want to be out there every minute. I wish I could've played all 48."

Yep but it doesn't affect the team this year like the previous two. He doesn't need to run the offense and get things going for everyone else like before.

Book is selfish and Suns better without him on the court according to a genius here though.

Hero baller. We need more team oriented parameter players like Bones Hyland.

How would you know whether someone made a horrible shot that landed in a teammate hand for a layup or just a disguised pass..

Clippers imo are by far the most disciplined and well coached team in the West and that shows even more when they don't have the high end talent playing. A handful of times so far this series I expected us to just start to pull away but they just kept at our heels and made it competitive.

I do think the Clippers are our biggest coaching challenge so if we can get past them, we should have the talent to match up with most other teams.

Remember how exhausted this team looked after every game in Round 1 last year? Even with such a deep team. That run for the record wins didn't help them. I've barely seen CP3 glisten let alone drip any sweat these four games and Book looks like he's in mid December form.
