Suns @ Clippers Saturday WCF game thread 6-26-2021 - Game 4

[Cheesebeef]

Suns league pass was the best 99 bucks I’ve ever spent.

 

[Mainstreet]

Zubac really played well for the Clippers with 13 points and 14 rebounds.

 

[Germz249]

I did not. I'd be interested to see that.

It was from a turn over on Zubac towards the end.

 

[Covert Rain]

It’s not just physical defense. They’ve taken away book and Paul’s regular middie curls and are engaging them further out. Give Lue credit, he’s schemed a nice defense against us with good athletes.

I rewatched the last 2 games. They have absolutely crowded anything near the paint to take away Book and now Paul’s midrange. They are daring our guards to become 3 point shooters. If it wasn’t for Ayton and Payne getting all those drives this series might look very different.

Monty has struggled to counter Lue
A bit but we ar up 3-1. I will take it.

Devin Booker said he's not blaming anything on the mask but he's never played with it before and that it takes some getting used to. Decided to ditch it but joked that you don't realize how much you get hit in the face after you take it off.

Just running the court with a nose broken in 3 places is amazing.

Likely regrettable victory shots for @Jersey Girl and I

Did you guys see Mann and Z yelling at each other on the post game ?

No, where can we see it?

 

[Proximo]

Suns jam session dogging Nader playing?

why? I think him and Craig are basically equal.

Nader is better offensively, and Craig better defensively.

I don’t have a problem giving him a little run at all.

 

[Finito]

I’ve been really impressed by Lue.

 

[Finito]

No, where can we see it?

it’s all over the place.

 

[GatorAZ]

It was from a turn over on Zubac towards the end.

He’s a tougher matchup than Brook Lopez will be. Still can’t believe the Lakers gave up Zubac

 

[Chris_Sanders]

So I broke my nose (and my face) in January. I spent 4 days in bed and a couple weeks til I tried anything physical

Booker was the Suns leading scorer with 25 points shooting 8-22.

Paul scored 18 points on 6-22 shooting. He had 7 assists.

Combined 14-44. Not far off 10-40. Two game total of 24-84. Yeesh.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns need more from their bench than 13 points: Cam Payne (5), Cam Johnson (5) and Dario Saric (3).

Depending on the severity breaking your nose can be debilitating in the short term.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Six months later I have barely done the activity that broke my face

Booker playing and taking off that mask was bad ass. It was tough

 

[AZ Native]

it’s all over the place.

OK, that helps.

Shows how terrible Jokic's drop defense was. Zubac and the Clippers have done MUCH better with it. Still, if they're taking the mid-range away, there should be openings somewhere. The lack of ball movement has been glaring to me.

Agreed. Monty is missing something in the film.

 

[Mainstreet]

Combined 14-44. Not far off 10-40. Two game total of 24-84. Yeesh.

The bright side is they are both missing shots they normally make.

Paul actually shot worse from the field than Booker.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Did you guys see Mann and Z yelling at each other on the post game ?

No. Any further info?

They’ve done a much better job than Denver, but Paul has gotten some good looks still. He just can’t hit the broadside of a barn.

 

[Phrazbit]

Was out watching the game… good lord, that was something from the late 90s or early 2000s. A brutal, slugfest.

and thank the lord for Ayton, he was unreal tonight. The National media isn’t giving him near enough credit. If he’d had a bad game instead of this unreal performance we would have been blown out. He was seemingly everywhere.

 

[95pro]

No. Any further info?

it was in-game footage when Z lost the ball out of bounds, when CP3 knocked it off Z. Suns ball.


Mann says just grab the ball!

Z threw his towel at the chairs

W is a W
Defense was amazing
Ayton is amazing
I wouldnt trade him for luka straight up
His rebounding has been huge
