Clippers @ Suns Tuesday game thread 3-4-2025

[Mainstreet]

The Suns needed a floor general. They have one. Collin Gillespie with a +21.

 

[Phrazbit]

Best game I’ve been to this season. I was ready to leave halfway through the 3rd.

Way to hang in there.

Suns have found life in Collin Gillespie.

He really does look Nash like curious to see him get time moving forward

I'm not drawing comparisons, but Gillespie makes me think of players like Steve Nash, Mark Price and John Stockton.

It's his composure and the way he plays the game.

bud looks like he's cried recently - or swam in a highly chlorinated pool

I thought for sure that Zubac tip in was going to drop. But either way, happy that the Suns at least showed some life and showed some pride. Can they build on it? I'm not hopeful but stranger things have happened.

 

[nashman]

No TOs in the last 18 minutes they said…wow that’s amazing from these sloppy passers! Great win they sucking me back in a little bit I want to see more than just one game give me a few in a row with this effort! Almost rather Beal stay out of it for a bit…

 

[Mainstreet]

Kevin Durant calls Collin Gillespie a "dog" in the best possible meaning.

Suns fans paid the price of admission. They have a right to boo. The players needed to hear it. They don't have to leave quietly.

I refused to watch the game. I'm still in disbelief this happened. I'm looking at the stat sheet and it doesn't make sense.

 

[Superbone]

That's crazy that the game started with Clippers as +2.5 point favorites and its now +18.5 with 3 minutes in the 3rd to go.

Could have made a boatload of money at this point in the game betting on the Suns money line.

 

[Superbone]

Wow, biggest 4th quarter comeback in franchise history?!

 

[hcsilla]

Great comeback, even Durant seemed to be fired-up.

Plumlee was excellent but obviously the key was Gillespie. I remember Mainstreet being a big-time supporter of converting Gillespie's 2-way contract into a standard one. Now I'm a fan as well.

I do like his patience and playmaking. He knows what to do with the ball: keeps dribbling when needed or does the simple pass when possiblbe. Also an active and willing defender. Good shooter. Just an average athlete at best, but knows his limitations.

I would not only convert him, but also re-sign him to a long-term contract, question is would he be willing to sign it or bet on himself to get a better contract next eason elsewhere?

Bol Bol also needs to be re-signed while we can.

 

[Yuma]

I went to bed at halftime. You all can thank me! Of course I missed the comeback of the season. I recorded it to watch later.

 

[CardNots]

I’m speechless…

 

[95pro]

There was a game? AND we won???

KD reminds me of a teenager when a dad tries to give words of wisdom, and pulls away.

 

[Covert Rain]

Collin looked fantastic but let's not get carried away just yet. It was 1 quarter of one game. I loved what I had seen out of him and he brought a hustle we have rarely seen this season outside Dunn but it was one quarter. I think the Suns need to give this guy a chance in the rotation to see if it sparks anything. At the very least it gives the Suns a "pest" that other teams hate playing against.

This is something we always do.

Gil always brings the energy, hustle and grit when he plays, to me this is nothing new. He definitely has shown flashes.

What i did not know is that he's vocal about the things, which is someone we need.

 

[Carolinacacti]

collin is ready that one drive were he took it the basket and put it high off the back board , wow. Someone said Jones came here with a guarantee to start. Cancel that BS

idk if gillespie is a starter (yet) but i will say the difference in defense between he and tyus is vast

 

[Suns_fan69]

I'd like to rewatch, because the offense looked a LOT better in the 4th than it typically does. KD referenced them attacking and getting shots off quicker, and I do think that's a part of it. Also helps that the team were making the outside, but there was less of the ball sticking than usual.

 

[BirdGangThing]

im trying to play it down - damn sure aint getting my hopes up but that was pretty awesome last night - like when the bad news bears finally gets their ish together and everything that was going wrong goes right
