And it should be just the opposite. He should be licking his lips. Man this game unwinds a lot of my recent enthusiasm for his growth. Not all of it before people starting putting words in my mouth.

It's one game. I'm not too worked about it. Suns are a better team.

This was a horrible game but why does half this board think we are the ones down 3-1?

Because the Clippers look like a better team. They want to win. Suns look like garbage and show zero intensity. I feel the Clippers broke them. I don't think they'll win this series.

Yeah, Bridges seems to come up small in the big moments, at least to this point in his career.
PG outplaying Book and kinda the same for freaking Reggie Jackson and CP3. Been that way all series too.

and their defensive specialists are showing up while Crowder and Bridges are MIA. Ayton obviously trash tonight too

Agree. I still think they will pull it off. But frustrating watching the lack of good coaching and smart play from the Suns tonight.

Even when there shots not falling there supposed to be defensive stoppers but that’s not even there

but yes it’s probably Aytons fault they’ve completely disappeared
Lol. And there it is - the putting words in my mouth. You can’t help yourself. You’re a freaking liar dude.

Paul barely able to hit the rim… dude is completely toast. Outta gas… maybe it was Covid that drained whatever he had left in him… Sad to see…

Dude, they’re complimentary for a reason. Monty has to scheme for them. He’s had his pants pulled down ALL SERIES in that regard.

Really cause tonight we got beat by Reggie Jackson, Marcus Morris and a Boogie

but role players don’t matter.

That's 9 points they missed in the last few minutes. They have missed their last 4 shots and could have got this game back to around 5 points.

because they have the momentum, and quite frankly have outplayed us for the whole series despite our series lead.

that said I still think the suns will get it done. At least I hope.

because we haven’t played in the playoffs for a decade and I think people got spoiled in the 9 game winning streak.

folks... almost our entire TEAM has never been here. Thinking this was going to be easy was foolish.

I still have faith. But we’re gonna have to grind it to get there.

Yup. Sucks to say for a playoff game. But you just throw this one in the trash and move on.. clips wanted this one more it felt. Kudos to them. Alot of teams would have come out with half their energy down 3-1 in our house.

And the Clippers are a good team even without Leonard. They made it to the Conf Finals for a reason.

Haven’t seen this kind of the end of the world meltdown from you since the Lakers series welcome back

Crowder and Ayton played garbage defense all game. Also garbage offense, but that’s expected.

I expect all the whiners that think the series to be over to be absent from future game threads.

But that’s wishful thinking—you’ll all be back crying about the officiating and that we are a terrible team.

I think there's a feeling they stole games 2 and 4 and took an all-time great game from Booker to win game 1.

Said it a couple of days ago, but the last guy with Covid was Dennis Schroder. Had no lift on his shots and couldnt finish in the paint. Not that he's great or anything but looked noticeably worse

Terrible timing for the Suns with CP getting Covid.

Out coached, out played, from the moment they got off the bus. Monty is getting our coached and 4 out of 5 starters were MIA tonight big time.

on the bright side I don’t think the Bucks or Hawks are anywhere as good defensively as the Clippers.

to me winner of this series has the inside track

Yep. Swap his minutes with cam. Go back to game 1 and 2 mentality. But it's CP. We will get him out there when he wants to be out there...

TBF Morris makes 16 mill a year, Boogie made multiple all stars and Reggie Jackson might be the most underpaid player in the league.

This is the danger of letting this team linger. They are the deepest team in the league.
