That foul on Beverley way worse than Book’s foul on Kawhi

Well, cut it to 4 and then a quick 7-0 run to push it to 11

The 3-pt shooting by LAC has just been incredible despite some legit defense -- very few open 3's. Not much you can do about that regardless of rested or tired legs. If you can play a series just like this game but without the incredible 3-pt shooting, I'd like the Suns' chances. Ayton playing like this is key.

Fuck PG and the Clippers. We would kick their ass in the playoffs these guys are bonafide choke artists.

True, but this is what the clippers do. They are the best 3 pt shooting team in the league. It’s like teams complaining that we hit so many mid range shots against them...sure it’s unusual for the nba as a whole, but not for us.

But...that shot that PG hit against Ayton was just unreal.

Man I just hope we meet these guys in the playoffs. Would love to kick their ass while PG shoots 35% from the field

Ya it was, but he’s a 43% 3pt shooter..he’s an incredible shot maker.

Well, when Rondo is hitting a long 3, it just ain't your night.
