Suns @ Clippers Thursday WCF game thread 6-24-2021 - Game 3

[82CardsGrad]

Hard to believe how incredibly bad Book can look. He’s got more TO’s than FG’s!

 

[Raindog]

Refs aren't even hiding the onesided BS now.

 

[AZ Native]

Booker an absolute embarrassment tonight; from the headgear to his play.
They might be linked...

Do you think?

 

[Covert Rain]

Ayton is the only person who came to play tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

I don’t care about any of that. I want to know if anyone knows how many Ts he has for the playoffs.

I'd have to look it up. I don't like to guess.

 

[Finito]

The Clippers are really good and with Kawhi they’d be the favorites.

this series isn’t going to easy they were down 0-2 twice in these playoffs there’s no give up in them and Lue is a damn good coach.

I think whoever wins this series is going to win it all both these teams are better than the teams in the East.

Suns are being bullied there just more physical and Booker is having a hard time dealing with it. Yes the mask I know but he was horrible in game 2 before the mask and nose stuff he’s struggling with Pat Bev on him. If we’re going to win he needs to play like a star

 

[JosiahLee]

This game sucks.

I really hope Cam Payne isn’t done for the year

And the mask is clearly affecting Booker.

 

[Covert Rain]

Ayton is the only person who came to play tonight.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Book and Paul a combined 8 for 32!!! With 5 Turnovers, 7 personal fouls and 1 technical!
That’s not a typo! [emoji15]

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I'm sure they've mentioned it a couple of times but it always amazes me when announcers seem surprised a guy with a broken nose wearing a mask has a bad shooting game. It's just a totally foreign thing, it's not even the breathing it's just having something on your face you're not used to that bothers you.

Exactly. I can’t believe posters here thought it would be no big deal. Look how swollen it is around his eyes too.

 

[Mainstreet]

Need more of that, a 3 by Crowder.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I really wonder how Paul can get bumped with no call on screens all thru the game but Booker goes over one screen and it's a foul.

We aren't playing well for sure. But the calls have been mostly atrocious.

Yup. Their guards ride Paul and Booker over the full length of the court and it’s no call. Ridiculous

 

[Hoop Head]

I don’t care about any of that. I want to know if anyone knows how many Ts he has for the playoffs.

3 headed into tonight, 4 now.

FoxSports.com has playoff technicals listed.

 

[Folster]

I wasn't talking about that last shot. But you know that and know your are wrong.

The refs are bad, but losers blame the refs. We've been blaming the refs for 53 years.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chris Paul is rusty on his shot.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Man... we had our chances to really make them tight and just couldn’t make the big shot to cut it to 4 or 5.

 

[Dback Jon]

Chris Paul got fouled on his three attempt with no call

 

[Covert Rain]

Booker should be embarrassed. It’s like he bought his own hype.

 

[Mainstreet]

Man... we had our chances to really make them tight and just couldn’t make the big shot to cut it to 4 or 5.

Paul had some good looks he normally makes.

 

[FB94]

Booker takes some of the dumbest shots at the worst time. Just got a turnover and he tries a reverse pivot three in the corner. All with a fresh clock. JUsT STUPiD

 

[82CardsGrad]

Man... we had our chances to really make them tight and just couldn’t make the big shot to cut it to 4 or 5.

We are playing as if we’re more tired than they are. They are far more energetic. Far more gritty and hustling way more. And again, CP3 looks like an old man tonight.

 

[Hoop Head]

Booker should be embarrassed. It’s like he bought his own hype.

How many players reach their averages when wearing a mask?

 

[Cheesebeef]

Booker should be embarrassed. It’s like he bought his own hype.

hes got a broken face.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker should be embarrassed. It’s like he bought his own hype.

He also has a nose broken in three places.

 

[Raindog]

Booker can be psyched out, unfortunately, and taken out of his game by dirty opponents. That mental toughness is something he needs to work on.

 

[Mainstreet]

No whistles tonight for the Suns.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

The Clippers are really good and with Kawhi they’d be the favorites.

this series isn’t going to easy they were down 0-2 twice in these playoffs there’s no give up in them and Lue is a damn good coach.

What I don’t get is Beverley is an overly aggressive player. You should be able to bait him into a bunch of stupid fouls if yikes make it a priority early. Make him back off by getting him in foul trouble. And sell the ish outta it.

 

[Sunstroke]

72 hours ago media knuckleheads whom will remained unnamed but initials
start with Steven A. Smith said Booker was the next Kobe.
Are you 'effing' kidding me?

 

[FB94]

Booker is killing us tonight
