That was a better shot for CamJo, just missed it.

This is absolutely pathetic. Get Payne off the floor and put in Holiday. I'm tired of seeing him make careless plays and brick shot after shot.

What the Clips are doing to us, is what we should have done against the Gsquads we faced last week.

Wow we are getting crushed by a Clips team without their best player. Obviously we are missing most of our starters but it leaves me a little worried about a post Paul/Ayton possibility with a downgrade at both positions. I don't know if Book could make up this difference on his own and even if he could that doesn't account for Kawhi.

I thought the rosters actually looked fairly even...they had more depth and the best player but our lineup looked fairly solid with a couple of solid backups.

I know it's a lot harder to shoot without Ayton's gravity but it's been REALLY bad the last two games he has sat.

I mean Shamet and Cam looking like Shamet did earlier in the year and Cam did last year in the regular season. They had been our two best 3 pt shooters this year up until a game or two ago (not accounting for Holiday's low volume).

That is what I love about CamJo, if his shot isn't falling, he takes it to the basket to make something happen.

Just no offensive rhythm/playmaking.
If we score 70 tonight it’ll be a success

I see PG13 is back again to getting bonus foul shots as usual.

Come on refs, they don't need anymore help. If you can't call it on one end, just let it go on the other end.

Hopefully Sarver is watching and understands what DA will bring to the table and his value. A trade for a lesser center and some picks is not the right path forward.

I hate to say it but I think Monty needs to get the starters back the last 2 games. We need to clean things up because we’ll have a week off as it is. And if we play this clips team, they could easily take a game or 2 from us in Phoenix before we get our legs and chemistry back

I'm still waiting for our bench depth to show up. I'm not seeing it. FFS. This is a laugher at just how bad we're playing.

We should NOT have sat anyone. All this will serve to do is give the Clippers energy and drive to bury us in the first round if they get the chance. If we draw them and lose, it would be an utterly monumental failure.

Our only hope is that MEM gets them and knocks them out.

9 point quarter? Hey Monty, do you have any bench players that can shoot? You do know Holiday is shooting 54% from three for us, right?

Had to be the worst half in Monty’s tenure

Down by nearly 30. This is stupid.

Did Monty take the day off? He should go crazy in the second half at the first bad call by the refs since he doesn't have a challenge.

Return to Phoenix Suns
