Clippers @ Suns Monday WCF game thread 6-28-2021 - Game 5

[ArizonaSportsFan]

I think this series ends tonight.

I am out of town on our anniversary trip, 31 years. I will at least be checking the score on my phone.

Go Suns!!!

Congrats!! I will mark 30 years at the end of this year.

I have family that lives in Seattle. They would go crazy there for another NBA team.

Seattle is a great city. They deserve it.

Another day of trying not to think of this game until game time. I drive my wife nuts and I know my blood pressure goes up on game day.

Would be nice to have him in the finals!! Torrey Craig will ball out versus the Bucks, though, if they get that far!

I can't wait to buy some Kracken gear!!

Congrats all! I'll be at 20 in October.

Their defense has been incredible but much of it involves bumping, holding and redirecting perimeter players which was supposedly refereed out of the game years ago. It's much easier to close out on shooters (or prevent clean passes) if contact is keeping shooters from getting to their spots on time.

Breaking Book's nose helped too. Bust up faces and its a little harder to shoot.

I hate the way the Suns offense slows down late in these close games with Paul barely crossing half-court in time. Same thing happened against the Lakers. Once he crosses half court he wastes some more time to get into their play. It's the anti-Dantoni, "seven seconds are left" offense.

I don't care if Chris Paul drops the ball at half court and sits on it, Ill be cheering my ass off.
He does that to run down the clock or try to pick up a foul on the defender or just piss the other team off if they are trying to get in a flow.
Trust the Point God

Doesn’t Kawhi have the “same” injury?

 

[Sunburn]

Doesn’t Kawhi have the “same” injury?

Kawhi's is an ACL I believe. However, Dr David Chao seems to think it's probably a bone bruise after looking at the film. The two ends of the bone made contact at the joint with eachother. I was surprised at the recovery time for a bone bruise, which is several months.

 

[Sunburn]

Wow I just had a hexa post. Loading on the site has been brutal lately.

Here is where Zubac sprained his right MCL.

These reports says Zubac is QUESTIONABLE.

Seattle is a great basketball town. Getting purchased by an owner from Oklahoma was the worst thing ever for the Sonics. The new Kraken arena can accommodate the NBA, and I hope to see the Suns come to Seattle again in the future.

 

[Germz249]

Thats who they should attack.

 

[SirStefan32]

If Zubac plays, they need to attack him every single possession. If he does not, or once he goes to the bench, keep attacking Cousins or Morris (whoever is playing the five.) No shot-blocking, no size or length. Ayton should be feasting inside, and the guards should have a layup drills.

 

[AZman5103]

I'd like to put in Kaminsky and have him very blatantly and very aggressively try to break Marcus Morris's leg.

wow… I take it you’re not a fan of Marcus Morris..

My worries tonight are us getting baited in more dumb T's, as well as them purposefully injuring us.

I'm hearing Seattle and Vegas are getting an expansion team soon.

Anybody else here that's supposed to be working but is too distracted to get anything done?!
