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

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Clippers 59 - Suns 52


Huge 3 by Booker at buzzer. Maybe this gives the Suns a lift.

 

[Chaplin]

Yup. But that aren’t calling anything on the Clippers.


But it’s not rigged for more games, right?

Geez it’s not rigged.

 

[Finito]

Got to cut down on the dumb turnovers man

 

[Proximo]

Booker's defense has been garbage.

not that bad, he is just to small to guard Morris.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Not what you want from Ayton when playing the small group. The glass is killing us.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Speechless… didn’t expect CP3 to be our worst player and kryptonite on offense.

He is totally indecisive. Weird.

 

[Folster]

fudge Marcus Morris. fudge him!

 

[FB94]

Someone needs to light a fire under their ass at halftime. Playing slow and scared. Crowder can’t hit ocean and Bridges won’t even try. Your up 3-1 go play like u have nothing to lose. Your playing with house money.

 

[dscher]

We'll need to be more aggressive on the boards and increase the physicality next half or game 6 it is.

 

[Raindog]

It's bun, chicken, pickle, mayo, bun.

Just for the record.

 

[Chaplin]

This to me is a failure in coaching. Monty made no in game adjustments in the first half. Hopefully we’ll see some changes in the 2nd.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Such an ugly half.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Nice finish to the half, though. Get some mo back.

Really a terrible finish to half with a single saving play by book. Nice play design though.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton just watching

Ayton has been a step slow tonight.

 

[SirStefan32]

Yup. But that aren’t calling anything on the Clippers.


But it’s not rigged for more games, right?

The only ones rigging this game are the Suns with their crappy effort.

 

[Folster]

Getting beat by Boogie and Morris. Just gross.

 

[dscher]

Lue and billups have been a step or two ahead of Monty for sure so far.

 

[Covert Rain]

They have to find a way to get the ball to Ayton. The Suns looked totally unprepared to play small ball. Monty has been a bit exposed. He needs to make an adjustment.

 

[Raindog]

Someone needs to light a fire under their *** at halftime. Playing slow and scared. Crowder can’t hit ocean and Bridges won’t even try. Your up 3-1 go play like u have nothing to lose. Your playing with house money.

Crowder is just streaky by nature. Bridges frustrates the hell out of me. He just absolutely disappears on both ends of the court some halves.

 

[Dr. Jones]

The whole team just looks woozy. These guys need to rip out some necks. #Figuratively

 

[1tinsoldier]

Monty didn't have them prepared to exploit their advantages (particularly getting Ayton going)

Morris and Cousins should always be doubled when they're pounding the ball inside.
it's not like they're great passers

Booker played defense with a "you fouled out last game" mindset and everyone was scoring on him.

it's about time for Bridges has to give us some offense.

 

[Cheesebeef]

What we got here folks, is a classic hump game. Clippers couldn’t get over it on Saturday and it killed them. We just gotta get there and the ensuing Clipper meltdown in the face of the Suns heatwave will take us home!

[Dr. Jones]

We are down 7 and the Clips still can shoot much better than this.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Not what you want from Ayton when playing the small group. The glass is killing us.

He’s not playing with energy. Watch him on offense. He’s doing a lot of standing around.
