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

[82CardsGrad]

So who really thinks we’re winning this series?

Just can’t see why it won’t be Clips in 7…

 

[Mainstreet]

That's going to be a flagrant on Crowder.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Crowder is absolutely useless.

100%

 

[FB94]

Half our players haven’t contributed the last three games at all. Bridges, Crowder, Saric, Craig, Paul, and now Ayton. This team is on the brink if they lose tonight

 

[jagu]

What's there to review. It's just a foul... What a waste of time.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

everyone but Book sucked tonight. And Book only looked good in moments.

Prettt much. That was typed as Ayton had his latest weak play.

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

Such a gag

 

[Finito]

Anyone seen Bridges or Crowder?

CP3 has been horrible how you get stripped by Boogie in the open court

 

[Cheesebeef]

We weren’t ready for the moment.

 

[dscher]

Honestly they made a lot of good shots. Can't really say much besides that.

They did. They had guys step up tonight while we didn't. Credit where it's due. We also need to focus on us...and that needs to be on, once again, physicality and energy. If this team can match the clips in that department next game, then we'll be in good shape.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

That looked intentional on Crowder’s part.

It's really dirty

 

[jagu]

Here comes Ayton apologist to the rescue!!

ive called them out. How come you didn’t say anything then? We all know you think Ayton is beyond reproach.

Zubac coming out seems to have deflated him.

 

[Sunstroke]

Ayton is not moving without the ball, he's back to volley-ball tipping contested rebounds,
he mishandled a nice feed from Crowder in the first half. Not a good night for Ayton or the Suns

 

[FB94]

We are legitimately down to one guy who can score and that’s Booker, everyone else has their balls turtled

 

[Cheesebeef]

So who really thinks we’re winning this series?

i do. In 7.

 

[Finito]

Here comes Ayton apologist to the rescue!!

lol

 

[SirStefan32]

I am afraid the Clippers broke the Suns tonight. I don't think they just beat them- it looks like they broke them.

 

[Billythekidd]

I'm so freakin disappointed. Can we recover from this? The game has been played totally on their terms, from go to woe. Scrappy, physical and intense. How the playoffs ought to be. We've failed to match any of that intensity.

 

[Folster]

Beverley is allowed to play 90s defense.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Bridges and Crowder are the real culprits tonight.

No they’re not. This is who they are. They’re beneficiaries. They can’t manufacture shots. Monty hasn’t schemed anything to get them shots. Maybe crowded - he’s missed a ton of threes.

 

[Mainstreet]

Clippers have been able to drive the lane all night.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Feel bad for CP3… 16th season and never been to the finals…
But then again, he’s done nothing but hurt this team since he’s come back from Covid…

 

[Chaplin]

Too little too late. The complimentary players have to do something.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Series like this is why I balk at giving Bridges a massive contract. You just can’t no show for the entire WCF.

 

[SeattleCardinal]

So disappointing. Really surprised by how bad this has gone for Phoenix, especially given the Clippers’ injuries.

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

James Jones better have this game tape ready when Bridges’ agent calls about that extension.

 

[JosiahLee]

i do. In 7.

Can you imagine the pressure and how much they’ll be gripping going into a game 7 after a 3-1 lead? I can’t see it.

 

[Dback Jon]

They just need to tee up Pat Beverly

 

[dscher]

So who really thinks we’re winning this series?

We need one more. They need two. The odds are still in our court. I'd love to see this go 7...but I also wouldn't mind if we win in 6.

 

[Dback Jon]

He should’ve used his challenge on that travel by Paul George
