Clippers @ Suns Tuesday WCF game thread 6-22-2021 - Game 2

[AzStevenCal]

I was not going for a championship of anything but I can tell you when I broke my nose and had a concussion playing football, I was never the same player. Granted it was only a base team in the in the Air Force but I was never the same.

Heck I tried to play a game wearing a sweat band once and I think I killed a cheerleader.

that guy needs to be fined or suspended man.. I was told he practically tackled Cam Payne for no reason.

He did. He has multiple plays every game that just have you scratching your head like “what’s that crazy MFer doing?!?”

 

[dscher]

I guess you have an excuse for the head butt on Booker as well.

I guess you have a better eye than I do for intentional headbutting. I watched the tv just like you did..and didn't see a lunge forward for such intent. If you did...so be it.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

And it could easily cost us a championship. How many shooters struggle after donning a face mask to protect the nose?

Yup. You can’t estimate how much this might negatively impact book the rest of the playoffs. We’ve had to withstand the Paul shoulder, Paul Covid, and now book has to deal with this.

It's not just that one play. He took out Payne by hitting from the side in a tackle type play. After awhile I don't believe in coincidence.

If that had happened in a pickup game I'd have given the defender the benefit of the doubt. But these guys are some of the greatest athletes in the world, it's unlikely that kind of contact would be anything but intentional. Possible but unlikely. And then you consider that Beverly has repeatedly earned his reputation as the dirtiest player in the game and all doubt should be removed. Bruce Bowen wishes he could be as dirty as Patrick.

If it’s not broken it won’t be an issue.

I don’t get what Bridges shot the three ball before the valley oop play. I get he was open for the shot but he had a wide open lane to the rim. Take a better percentage shot. I know we won who cares.. but he should have taken it to the rim.

That's fine. I get that. He's out there playing tough. It's his job and emotion is a real thing. Especially the playoffs. That's what I saw. I also don't mistake the fact that it's his job to play with that intensity. I think both teams realize that about him. Like I said...I'm old school. Street ball makes it fun for me. I need to see more than those two plays to get upset or worked up. Jmo

I didn't realize how brutal that play was in real time. It looked like the Clippers game plan was to rough up Devin Booker.

 

[Sunburn]

D Book didn’t have a stat stuffer game but his presence and his hard nose tuffness and tenacity is a huge factor on this team! And Beverly is a dirty little cheap shot artist. Book played hurt and hard and had a bad game but still had 29 important points and the pick that won the game…

I think you're looking at Payne's stats but I'm with ya.

NOTHING STOPS US.

Anytime you want to disrespect another man when arguing , pat(no pun) him on the head like a child. Glad Jae kept his cool on that , but not sure why that’s not a T on Beverly.

 

[GatorAZ]

I want that to stick in George’s head.

After hitting b2b shots to take the lead. Like I said dude is unexplainable.

I don't blame him. He's young and someone who doesn't have a lot of plays drawn up for him. The clock was low so he took the first look he had, which was really good. It just didn't go his way. He's not the type to put the ball on the floor regularly and isn't great at fighting through contact, which there would have been.

After that miss there was .9 seconds left, so he didn't have time to second guess in that moment. Take what they give you.

You are a glutton for punishment.

Deandre Ayton plans to give the jersey to his son.

@KellanOlson

Deandre Ayton said he made sure to keep the jersey from this game so he can give it to his son.

I don't remember that. What a bunch of crap. That's a flagrant
Of course it's that crap ass official Foster looking right at it

That's called intent. Reputation or not. Call it how it looks on the court.
