Game 7: Los Angeles Clippers (4-2) @ Phoenix Suns (5-1) l Sunday l 6:00pm l FSNAZ

[Revived]

just get through it without injury

^this. If it looks out of reach, bring out the white flag and rest the starters.

Every team in the league is gonna have a few games like this. On to the next one.

I would maybe play Booker extended mins even through a blowout. Let him to get out of this awful funk that he’s been this season. If he can get al his turnovers and dumb plays out of the way in this game then this loss isn’t bad at all.

I don't think they will intentionally pack it in too quickly. I think the team is resilient, though if they continue to be cold from 3, it will be tough.

Just need to win each quarter by 10+.

Plenty of teams have won quarters by 20+ though.

If we are down 25+ with under 8 minutes to go though, I'd maybe go more to the deep bench. Or at least rest Paul and Booker. I would let Ayton get some more run and some of the cold 3 pt shooters so they can get out of their funk before the end of the gam and not let it get into their heads like it did with Oubre.

But we could play some of our deep guard rotation, some Frank, etc.

It’s just a bad combination of us being cold after being hot the last few games and the Clippers being hot after being cold their last few games.

I’d keep Booker in. He needs to get his head out of his ass and I think he’s out of shape too (this is why he can’t get any separation and keeps needing to shove players off to get a decent look). Let him keep running up and down so that he can work himself back into shape and gain some rhythm. Bridges should be pulled early, he plays a ton of mins for us this season and 35 yr old CP3 as well if we’re still down 20+ by the end of the 3rd qtr.

We cut it barely under 20, and they hit a 3. I ghitnk if we can just get it down to 17, we might break through a barrier that helps and gets us into more of a rythmn.

[lilfishi22]

Finally! A Bridges 3!

[Qwigglez]

Our bench needs to come in hot.

[bwgood77]

Nice, finally a couple 3s in a row. Honestly if 2 of Bridges, Cam or Crowder can get hot from 3 like they can,we could cut it quickly with some stops.

[King4Day]

Clips better hope our bench remains off because if they aren't, this is going to start to get really uncomfortable for them.

Cam has hit nothing so far, he's due for a couple

[SlovenianDragon]

okay okay lets go.

[Qwigglez]

You can see the momentum starting to swing our way, Clippers are trying to stay hot by the onslaught of 3's but if those start clanking... we can bring this back.

[Blackification]

if we can capitalize with PG13 on the bench we got a game

[King4Day]

I'm proud of this team. Rough start. Made adjustments but we just couldn't make anything. We didn't get down on ourselves. They're playing like the outcome is still in play because it is

[bigfoot]

No quit in this bunch

He would want to stay in, but I wouldn't because I think he might just try to do too much himself...let the bench guys get some burn and experience and don't risk injury to Booker.

[bwgood77]

What are you gonna do when Booker ends up on Kawhi.

[lilfishi22]

That's exactly where I want Ayton to be. Under the basket to collect loose balls and put backs

[King4Day]

Ayton's playing well on offense. Good placement and awareness.

[Qwigglez]

Pretty sure Kawhi got away with a Michael Jordan like travel on his pivoting there.

[lilfishi22]

Payne's MLE percentage is getting higher and higher with each 3

[bwgood77]

Now we need to break through that 15 pt barrier.

[Mjee]

Good job by DA so far !!!
