Playoffs: Clippers @ Suns Tuesday game thread 4-18-2023 - Game 2

[AzCardsfan76]

Geezus, Suns are wound up way too tight. Can’t buy a bucket, 7 turnovers…. Loosen up and play your game boys!!!

 

[Finito]

Kawhi just took KDs lunch money

 

[Finito]

Jesus Kawhi is all over KD

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Clippers 29 - Suns 24

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Shocker, Ayton can’t hang onto a offensive rebound.

 

[Finito]

This could get ugly

 

[Cheesebeef]

We came out totally tight and the Clippers fired up.

Lame.

Looked like Book twisted his ankle there… but he’s moving well.

 

[Jakester]

Pretty discouraging 1st quarter to say the least. And Monty continues to give Shamet tons of playing time even though hes giving the Suns nothing out there.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Well not looking to promising..... gonna be a long n ughhh

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Kawhi is taking KD’s soul lol. He’s lockdown. Now are we going to rest both KD and Book since they both played the whole first quarter….c’mon boys WAKE UP!!!!

I have no idea what he’s doing out there. Can’t play defense, can’t hit a shot, just takes up space.

 

[Finito]

Kawhi is on the what if Mt Rushmore

I know he gots two rings but holy crap I wonder what he could of been if he never got hurt

 

[nashman]

Glad to see Monty made a bunch of adjustments lol. I’m done with Monty unless he somehow wins a title this year, doesn’t look promising. It feels like anytime we are up against a decent coach he gets outcoached badly! These guys are just wound so tight can’t seem to do anything right and it’s such BS they didn’t have Saban on the playoff roster knowing our PGs are walking injuries!

 

[82CardsGrad]

This is where I’m at… Kawhi > KD (this was not the case 2-3 years ago).
Zubac is more effective than DA.
Westbrook is more impactful than CP3.
And the Clippers bench, which is league average, is light-years better than the Suns bench.

It’s gonna take Herculean efforts from Book and KD to merely give the Suns a chance. And I can’t even imagine what this would look like if Paul George was playing!

 

[Jakester]

Becoming clear that if the injuries were reversed two years ago and it was George who was hurt instead of Kawhi the suns would not have made the finals. Hes the best player on the court at this point.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Hopefully this off-season Ishbia realizes there is way too much talent in this team, at least the core, to continue to be mediocre with Monty Williams and James Jones.

 

[Finito]

Has Booker rested?

 

[mjb21aztd]

Just be within by 5 or less at half please no double digit hill to climb

 

[Finito]

Mann is all over Paul

 

[Jakester]

Hopefully this off-season Ishbia realizes there is way too much talent in this team, at least the core, to continue to be mediocre with Monty Williams and James Jones.

Monty appears to be the bigger problem of the two from what I can see.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

I can’t watch Ayton anymore. He has the worst instincts possible. Complete clueless on where to be on the floor.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Jeez come on suns stop playing like the cardinals at home wtf!!!

 

[Finito]

The clippers want it more

 

[ajcardfan]

We are getting punked physically.
