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

[82CardsGrad]

Can anyone tell me what Crowder’s contribution has been tonight??

 

[Cheesebeef]

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.

theyre at home and desperate. CP3 hasn’t played in almost two weeks.

guys, we aren’t the best team in the history of the NBA. We’ve won 9 in a row previous to tonight. We aren’t winning out for the playoffs. Games like this happen.

 

[Folster]

Booker is building a house.

Yep…

 

[FB94]

Booker is killing us tonight

 

[SeattleCardinal]

Hopefully Book gets his shooting touch back for Game 4.

 

[FB94]

Hopefully this poor showing will motivate them for next game

 

[Mainstreet]

Missing Cam Payne coming off the bench.

 

[Raindog]

So the moral of the story is... dirty play pays off if the refs protect the team doing it. Booker hampered by Beverley's dirty play breaking his nose. Cam Payne might be out due to a questionable non-call. Suns have been killed both this game and the last by refs swallowing their whistles.


Don't tell me NBA refs aren't tilting the games.

Why is pail George allowed to push off every single play?

that is a good question.

 

[Folster]

Beverley has 2 fouls. LOL!

 

[mjb21aztd]

Wtf

 

[pokerface]

Did ANYONE play well????

 

[Russ Smith]

one thing with Booker is he has to realize at a certain point in the game having 4 fouls is no longer a license to play soft on d. i get it when he came back in, doesn't want to get the 5th, but he's still doing it late in the game. he's given up 3 or 4 buckets where he just backed off because of the 4 fouls.

 

[FB94]

Turn out the lights. This team better find a mean streak next game or we go back to Phx 2-2 with more doubts

 

[Cheesebeef]

The refs suck but we sucked worse tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

Why is pail George allowed to push off every single play?

Literally with two hands on Crowder.

Yes.

Series will go six or 7 games. Tonight is not the end of the world.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Well, it’s a series. We haven’t done crap. Book has no mojo and I’m guessing Payne is done for the year.

 

[Russ Smith]

Chris Paul is rusty on his shot.

he is but part of it is he's more worried about falling down and trying to draw the foul and they're not giving it to him tonight

 

[pokerface]

I think Paul still has covid

 

[mjb21aztd]

Get the next gm all good

But book looked like crap tonight very disappointed

 

[Cardsfan77]

I guess we were due for an awful game, just didn’t think it would be this bad...

 

[Proximo]

I just hope it’s not a preview of what is to come.

this looks too much like the Utah series for my liking.

 

[Folster]

If not for PGs missed free throws and the Valley Oop we'd be down 1-2.

done for the year? Okay 1Sun.
