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

[Finito]

Every jumper is short.

No easy shots just contested jumpers that’s not good

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns can't get to the basket and they can't shoot. It's not hard to figure out.

 

[95pro]

Only down 13 with an Ayton dunk and timeout.

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

Tean won't take the next step until Monty is gone. Just an awful tactician.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

We look gutless.

It's a reflection of the coach, Mr. Nice Guy....

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Lmao Ayton is the problem? He hasn’t even been in the game for this run

All he’s done so far is screen. I haven’t seen him even try for an offensive rebound. Am I shocked to see zubac doubling him up on rebounds playing 2 less minutes? Nope.

 

[Mainstreet]

Zubac uncovered for the layup.

 

[95pro]

Lmao Ayton is the problem? He hasn’t even been in the game for this run

LOL. Max contract guy with 2 points, on a lucky play that led to a dunk. Just stop

 

[Cheesebeef]

lol you always do this . . .

It’s just this team destroyed my fandom last year, the team this year never really got me back and we barely saw anything with the current team.

There’s not a lot of guys I love on this team. CP3 is a shell of himself. There’s really no one on the bench. Ayton has gone from super frustrating to just being a guy I expect nothing front. Then there’s Book, who I love but still think is slightly overrated and wilts in the clutch more often than I’d like and KD is a mercenary who I’ve barely seen in a Suns uniform.

Great D Ayton.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Tean won't take the next step until Monty is gone. Just an awful tactician.

All one-on-one. I see no one schemed open.

And zubac taking it to aytin.

 

[Covert Rain]

CP3 has had at least 2 wide open midrange jumpers he passed up. CP3 being passive never turns out well for us.

 

[95pro]

Westbrook playing hungry. Careless foul on Kd but he’s going after everyone of our shots.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Aytin goes soft twice.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Ayton…

 

[mjb21aztd]

Just get it within 10 bef half....

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Ayton, couldn't imagine he could play any softer, yet here we are....

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Paul is only one scrapping.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's a miracle the Suns are within 13 points.

 

[SirStefan32]

Starting to see some defense finally!

 

[95pro]

CP3 has had at least 2 wide open midrange jumpers he passed up. CP3 being passive never turns out well for us.

Yeah I agree. He’s been open all game on the elbow.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Omg ayton

 

[Phrazbit]

I’ll be honest… I have very little emotional connection to this team.

Well… we did trade some heart and soul fan favorites for the league’s premiere mercenary.

Thank god the mercenary is starting to show up this quarter.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

At least we are taking it to the hole. Unless you’re our 7 foot athletic center. Then you puss out.

 

[Chaplin]

Book and KD going to the basket so that’s a good sign.

 

[SeattleCardinal]

Ayton, couldn't imagine he could play any softer, yet here we are....

The only things hard about him right now are his hands.
