Playoffs: Suns @ Clippers Thursday game thread 4-20-2023 - Game 3

Calling it now. If the Clips face elimination we see George.

Agreed. Not sure how healthy he'd be if he does play, and how effective he'll be able to be. But if he's at 80%, it would represent a serious uptick in Clippers win probability.
I feel 100% certain that if Paul George were healthy and was playing from Game 1, the Suns would be fortunate to win one game in this series.

based on talk around LA, I really don’t think he’s playing in this series.

The reason the Clippers beat writer even mentions it, when Paul George is considered out for the series, makes one wonder.

Depends on your definition of great I guess.

Anybody chucking 3's at 32 percent, and who routinely gets his shot blocked, and has many really bad stretch's with multiple turnovers is not great in my book.

I get what you mean. LeBron isn’t what he was at his apex but look up Tatum’s shooting stats and LeBron’s shooting stats this season. They aren’t too far off and Tatum is going to be first team All-NBA.

Bron is still going to probably make an All-NBA team in year 20. If that’s not great, idk what is lol

God how I hate that hoodie.

Quit wearing it then!

 

[Superbone]

I think I may have to explain myself for this post. Yes I quoted myself. Yes I was pwi, but the two post before felt like it was going to get nasty. So I thought I would add humour to the "forget, ah forget it" post before mine.

Sooo now you know.

I got it the first time! You know what they say when you have to explain the joke, right?

 

[Superbone]

It's not likely but for some reason I can't shake the feeling we are going to see Paul George in this series before it's over.

After watching that video above, looks like a possibility.

Oh yeah! My mom thinks I'm cool.

Why? It doesn't bother me.

I am calling the Suns win right now. No way they let down @mjb21aztd on 4/20

enough to bet it?

I really hope that is true because I really don't want to see him in this series.

I don't disagree with Shannon at all... and, anytime your team receives the support from Skip, you simply have to be freaked out!

Wow, check out CP’s neck.

 

[Alan]

Kawhi out tonight

 

[Finito]

Kawhi is out

I swear to God Suns better blow this open and let the starters rest

 

[Cheesebeef]

LEONARD OUT.

Must win. No letdown.

Let Russ cook!! (to the tune of 9-40)

 

[SeattleCardinal]

No Leonard for Game 3!

 

[Cheesebeef]

part of me is bummed just because I'd like to see this team really tested to believe in them the way I normally would.

the other (larger) part of me is like... whatever it freaking takes to advance and let this team still figure itself out. If this is 2021 all over again where we get a ton of injury breaks en route to the Finals, I ain't gonna cry over it.

No way it's just a sprain. Dude is too much of a competitor. If this is just a sprain and they are holding him out? There seems to be a ton of confidence on the Clippers side of things that they can still win this series with him out for a game.

Did anybody see an injury last game for him?

I'm confused... do you think they're load managing in the playoffs? Or it's something worse?

a sprained knee isn't just like a boo-boo. that's an injury that usually keeps people out 1-2 weeks. and we're talking about a guy who really doesn't play unless he thinks he's 100%.

I think it's something worse that a simple sprain. It wouldn't be the first time a team has downplayed the seriousness of an injury.
