Playoffs: Clippers @ Suns Sunday game thread 4-16-2023 - Game 1

[Dr. Jones]

Monty took a week and made our lineup concepts worse.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

If only Landale could hit wide open shots ugh

 

[Chaplin]

I'm good with going into the 4th tied. Just avoid putting KD in foul trouble.

 

[Cheesebeef]

What an awful close to the quarter.

Can someone tell me what happened to the plan of always having CP3/Book/Durant?

 

[Covert Rain]

Tied up but so frustrating.

 

[JosiahLee]

What a terrible lineup by Monti to close the third…up 9 and now tied. I know starters need to rest at some point but they could have played longer there and taken the lead to like 15 to start the 4th. Huge momentum swing.

 

[SeattleCardinal]

Have to admit, some of these lineups look nothing like an NBA title contender’s.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Don't choke home court away fellas.

 

[Mainstreet]

Wish we had signed hyland

Clippers got him for two second round picks from the Nuggets, very strange.

Nuggets get Reggie Jackson in a buyout.

Monty has struggled with the lineup top to bottom. You know what is embarrassing? Ty Lue admitted that he was trying to throw Monty a curve ball.

 

[Cheesebeef]

We had all the momentum, on the verge of running the Clippers out of the building and Monty comes back with an awful lineup to kill all momentum.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Monty has struggled with the lineup top to bottom. You know what is embarrassing? Ty Lue admitted that he was trying to throw Monty a curve ball.

And it working to perfection.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Durant's 4th

 

[Mainstreet]

Now four fouls on Durant.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

And why is landale in the game?!?

 

[Covert Rain]

Durant has 4 fouls now. DAMN.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

And god SHAMET!!!

 

[JosiahLee]

Monty has struggled with the lineup top to bottom. You know what is embarrassing? Ty Lue admitted that he was trying to throw Monty a curve ball.

Lue greatly out-coached him two years ago. We were just lucky to have a superior roster.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Kawhi can’t miss

 

[Dr. Jones]

Kawhi may not miss

 

[Finito]

Oh that’s was ugly KD

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Shamet is friggin awful

 

[Cheesebeef]

Shamet is so bad.

 

[Dr. Jones]

If our bench plays like this in the playoffs we are toast.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns bench has 6 points: 2 by Biz and 4 by Landale.
