I haven’t seen any Kings/Warriors games from the beginning before today, have they all been like this? All they’re doing is trading threes, literally. It’s hideous basketball. 16 of the warriors first 24 shots are threes.
You can’t just switch hands in the air, that’s called double dribbling, that’s some 3rd ground playground type of stuff
:Melo Defense: Come on. Just admit you f***ed up. In what world is a kick to the d*** not "excessive"? This isn't a special social club or 1 on 1 encounter in which they pay for that kind of thing.
Unreal they call Claxton for a tech there. He flexed and then ran up court against who kicked him earlier. He didn't even move into Embids space
I really dislike the Suns, and yet again just like 2 years ago they’re getting an easy path thanks to injury. I hate the Clippers too, but, I’d prefer Kawhi and PG came back healthy and this season was even and the better team wins. Durant doesn’t deserve anymore cakewalks.
Suns just don't look all that impressive so far in the playoffs. Maybe their just playing less hard without Kawhi but they are just lethargic
Refs f***ed that game up so badly. Choose not to eject Embiid, tried to make it up by ejecting Harden and then giving Claxton a weak 2nd tech. Refs have too much power/control over a game and are constantly making bad calls with a slap on the wrist as punishment. Has someone invented AI refs yet?
clippers without kawhi and PG are still very much in this game late. crazy how their guys always step up when the stars are out
Suns didn't learn anything from the Clippers burning Kawhi out. They're still pushing their 3 as far as their bodies will take them. KD-42 minutes CP-41 minutes Book-45 minutes You get a combined 16 minutes rest for them in a game they're without Kawhi and PG, brutal!
Clips work their deficit down to 3 with 1:44 left. Torrey Craig hits a 3: Suns up by 6 with 74 secs left. Russ thinks he can do it all, never passes, bricks a 5 foot shot. 29 secs later the Suns are up by 9. Brick needed to get the ball to a SCORER, namely, Norman Powell, but I guess he thought he had something to prove. All in all, a 2nd good game for Brick in their 2nd straight loss. He had 6 TOs, though. And was not clutch down 6 with 74 secs left and that was door closing on the Clips. PHO looks more beatable w/KD than I thought they would look at this point.
Suns aren't a very good team , they even don't look better than above average so far . CP3 bricked wide open shots , KD struggled to get shots off against midgets ( TWO of his shots hit the side of the backboard in the 4th) . Booker was unstoppable , by far the Suns best player after 3 games and Craig is their only very solid role player so far . Playoffs ain't different than the regular season so far in the West , no clear favourite
The Suns are playing with house money right now.They will load up this summer. The arm's race in the West is going to be ridiculous this offseason
