Clippers @ Suns Wednesday game thread 1-3-2024

[BirdGangThing]

Allen getting abused on pretty much every defensive possession over the last 5 minutes. They isolate him... they score, it happened on 6 of 7 plays the last few minutes.

Word clippers did the same thing to CP3 constantly

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Awful game. Suns letting the Clippers get whatever they want.

 

[Phrazbit]

The music only sounds so loud because there's zero excitement in the building.

Nah, that stupid "defense" chant they pipe in nonstop is really really loud.

 

[Chaplin]

That ref won't even tell Beal what he did. What a joke.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are getting worked over physically.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Clippers 70 - Suns 51

CP3 has never been a target like Allen is. CP3 struggled to keep fast guards in front of him but was really good at everything else on D... Allen is a terrible defender in basically any situation.

Keep an eye on him. The Clippers are deliberately targeting him and they are scoring pretty much every play.

70 is good! Oh wait, that was the Clippers. NM.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Pathetic and unorganized effort on defense, another 70 points given up in a first half.

I see it too many they switch until the have Allen covering them or they just straight up pass the ball to whoever Allen is covering

 

[Yuma]

I really don't see us turning this around tonight.

All teams have targeted Allen.

I hate to say it but the Bol and Metu combo looked good.

Yeah we always get the clown refs that want to make the game about them… what a joke Ts left and right cause he got his feelings hurt…ridiculous! Call the freaking game both ways not just one!

 

[95pro]

Gordon also looks like arse.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Clippers are shooting 9-18 from three; the Suns 3-15.

 

[nashman]

Blatant push offs only count if it’s a Suns player apparently…

 

[nashman]

The Clippers are shooting 9-18 from three; the Suns 3-15.

That’s your ball game so far they hot from 3 we can’t hit poo…

 

[Mainstreet]

The Clippers are loaded with stars, more physical and deeper. It's a tough matchup.

 

[Mainstreet]

Some halftime stats.

The perfect statline for arguing against Point Book. 5 shots?? Against the Clippers? There is no way Book should be only taking 5 shots in a half against a team like the Clippers and with Durant sitting.

 

[Mainstreet]

I think some of the Suns are going to get their second technical and get ejected.

It feels like that kind of game.

 

[Chaplin]

Geez Zubac was pass blocking on that screen.

 

[95pro]

Clipper making their offense work around Nurk. If he drops they are driving. If not they take him outside with high screens.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Clippers are shooting 60% from the field.

 

[Joe Mama]

This is like watching that last game against Dončić. Even if we get a hand in their face they are hitting every three pointer they are throwing . At least they aren't step back three-pointers from 25 feet plus this time.

Yeah that last one from Harden about a epitomizes this game.
