Clippers @ Suns Wednesday game thread 4-28-2021

[Chaplin]

Too much Craig. he’s much more effective in short spurts.

Yep and as soon as you say it he’s replace by Cam.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Monty let’s the lead evaporate again... oh that’s a great play to stop the bleeding book.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker with the chance for 3-point play.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Ayton looks lost out there sometimes.

he didn’t have good energy from the start tonight.

 

[Chaplin]

he didn’t have good energy from the start tonight.

And Payne had a good start but he’s a big reason the Clips have gotten closer.

 

[Mainstreet]

he didn’t have good energy from the start tonight.

And it leads to bad fouls. I'm glad Monty got him out.

 

[Cheesebeef]

And Payne had a good start but he’s a big reason the Clips have gotten closer.

yeah, our shooting just couldn’t stay that hot. It’s why I’m not pissed right now whereas i normally would be if we started blowing a 14 point lead.

this is going to end up a tight game.

 

[Cheesebeef]

TANK

 

[Mainstreet]

Kaminsky gets the charge on George.

 

[Mainstreet]

Yes sir! Frank.

 

[Chaplin]

Yeah you’re right. He was making everything so it makes sense he’d continue but after two bad misses it should have told him something.

 

[Cheesebeef]

TANK TIME

 

[Mainstreet]

FRANK!!!

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 63 - Clippers 53

 

[Chaplin]

I will definitely take a 10 point lead at halftime.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Okay. Good finish to the half after they cut it to 4.

big half for The Tank Cam Combo!

Saric being out might have been the best thing to happen for Monty to realize Frank can be useful when Dario looks more like Sorrio.

 

[Mainstreet]

No one backs puts Frank back in the corner.

 

[Proximo]

Okay. Good finish to the half after they cut it to 4.

big half for The Tank Cam Combo!

Saric being out might have been the best thing to happen for Monty to realize Frank can be useful when Dario looks more like Sorrio.

yeah, this version of frank is superior to Dario. He has a tendency to go on cold streaks though to.

That’s true, but think of good Dario and this Frank together. That’s a great combo we have never used this year.

It could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Using Frank as the backup center allows Monty the versatility to use Saric at the 4/5 and give him some rest.

 

[Cheesebeef]

agreed. But it’s a good reminder that there are more options.

I totally expect Frank to do nothing in the second half. He seems to play well for one half or the other but rarely both.

 

[Chaplin]

It could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Using Frank as the backup center allows Monty the versatility to use Saric at the 4/5 and give him some rest.

But he has to use him. He hasn’t this season when they were both healthy.

 

[Mainstreet]

But he has to use him. He hasn’t this season when they were both healthy.

Monty has started Kaminsky next to Ayton against bigger lineups. The trouble is, Frank went from a starter to being out of the rotation. Monty needs to expand the rotation to include Frank.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Really not liking Ayton’s intensity tonight. He’s slipped back into Fayton the last three or four games.

rest of the squad is on point tonight though.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Ayton... come on dude!
