Why even bother playing Knight at this point? He's not going to make his trade stock any better. Time to just give the second unit over to Ulis.

Watson is proving to be very stubborn.

3 steps. No call. Call against Suns. That's about right.

Before last game, which was bad..

Knight's efficiency and turnovers this season:

Games 1-11: .341 FG%, .243 3P%, 2.5 tov/g
Games 12-22: .400 FG%, .405 3P%, 1.8 tov/g
Games 23-33: .471 FG%, .458 3P%, 1.7 tov/g

The balls on these two to call out Clippers fans on how quiet they are.. have they not heard our own crowd?

Numbers are better, in small minutes, but negated by wasted shot clock, bad defense, and not making any teammates around him better.

I was also just thinking like it would probably be similar to the crowd in the mid 90s if KJ and Barkley were out. I guess you could also say Nash and Amare in 2007 or 2010.

CP3 and Blake Griffin are being replaced by the refs.
SHAZAM!

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

Also, true to suit, Suns went down while Knight was on the floor. Was an even game before that.

General Watson's strategy of leaving Reddick open is working great so far.

Len should try to emulate DeAndre Jordan. Minus the free throw shooting. Him focusing on relentless rebounding and defense instead of post ups and jump shots could be good.

I don't understand why we can't play Dudley over Tucker considering how well Didley was playing to start the year.

Nice comment Drysdale "Both teams looking for a win".

Of course Watson trusts PJ Tucker to run his patented high-low offense.

A master class in commentating. Not bummed I have the Clippers feed. I hate Drysdale that much.
