Looks like we got Fire Book today. He looks determined. Let’s go!

Started the game off cold, too many jumpers but our defense held up. Mikal is doing very well on Kawhi so far. We're getting good looks now and Book with back to back deep 3s. I like the ball movement and the offense even if it felt like we were forcing some things early on. Clips defense is good but so you really have to get the most of the possessions and get the best shot. Ayton with a 3 and a nice turnaround baseline J. Solid defense inside as well.

Book going to work but must commend DA for his start
Think he could have rotated better on couple drives but our two young guys are engaged

This is our season, if we want to overcome the odds, we have to start by overcoming our odd to beat the Clippers, otherwise we have to go undefeated the rest of the way. So far, we look a little nervous just until those long back to back 3’s from Booker.

We need all the help we can, imagine a second half appearance by Baynes and Oubre!!!

Can we take Kaminsky off and just play 4-on-5?

I despise the modern overuse of the word 'cringe', but it's so apt for describing my reaction every time Kaminsky enters the game.

I don’t love Cam’s in between game yet, but I like that he’s trying stuff. Teams are going to keep running him off the line and he needs to learn to attack.
Yup work in progress better in transition
Slow start and Clips will test him but that's y I'm glad for these bubble games

Not to pile on, but Kaminsky has had a really rough bubble season so far. If I recall correctly, he was looking promising in Feb and March before the shutdown, but he's lost whatever mojo he had. He isn't shooting well, and his dribbling and decision-making and defense are poor. I want to see the guy succeed but he's hard to watch out there right now.

1st quarter take- We are winning 50/50 balls but not limiting them. This game could end up being a referee trap if we let it. We need to make sure we keep a next play mentality as long as we can so late in the game we are composed.

Pay hundreds (thousands?) of dollars to go to a Suns game and experience a lesser version of your living room at home.

I don't remember that at all. He was playing better than he has recently, but that bar is buried beneath the court. I swear there was a stretch of several weeks when he couldn't make a layup.

Saric - looks like a euro, plays like a euro .. but is effective so far.

Ayton 2 straight swish mid rangers. Damn.

Our Big 3 (Booker, Ayton, and Rubio) are shouldering almost all of the offensive load. They have 12, 11, and 11 (total of 34) of our team's 38 points so far.
