Game Day: Clippers (5-3) @ Suns (3-4), Thurs 11/12/15

[Superbone]

Time: 8:30 pm AZ (7:30 pm PT/10:30 pm ET)
Place: Talking Stick Resort Arena, Phoenix, AZ
TV: TNT

Tough game on national TV as we try to avoid a three game losing streak. The hated Clippers come to town coming off a loss in Dallas. They may possibly be without Carey's favorite player, Chris Paul, AKA CPMe.

Go Suns!!!

Clips look like a very solid team so far this year. We already played them recently and didn't fare so well. Bledsoe tried to play hero ball the whole game and it wasn't enough. I guess not having CP3 is a big help in our favor, but we still don't have anybody who can really stop Blake. He and DeAndre will just get a million rebounds over our outstretched arms again, I fear.

We don't play well on TNT. We don't play well against the Clippers. So maybe those cancel out?

Maybe Blake will be tired from being a fake tough guy all game last night. He got tangled in 3 different times with guys in the way only Blake does. I was hoping he'd get punched so he'd retaliate and get suspended. Not a big Blake Griffin fan.

I was listening to the Eye on Basketball podcast a few days ago, and Zach Harper and his guest Dan Woike were talking about the Clippers. They were trying to pin down why the Clips are so disliked by many fans. They said that if the Clips' players acted the way the Warriors do, fans would hate it, because the Clips haven't won anything yet.

I think it's hogwash. The Clips are hated for entirely different reasons. The Warriors players do showboat a bit, but it's not a taunt against the opponent. It's elation at making a great shot or play. There is a big difference. It's positive energy. It's like what a little kid would do if they got onto an NBA court and swished a 3.

By contrast, the Clips are full of negative energy. They whine, they complain, they yell at the refs. They push other teams' players around like punk-asses. Then on defense they flop and expect every call. They act like the league is out to get them when they don't have it any worse than any other franchise. And they're the classic "hold me back!" fake tough guys that Jalen Rose jokes about; they act like they want to slug you, but if it comes even close to that, they hold up their hands and step away.

Fuck the Clippers.

On TNT: why is Shaquille not wearing pants?

Lol. I noticed that too. A lot of the talking heads don't actually wear the bottom part of the suit when behind a desk but that pan was like, woah.

[Mori Chu]

Somewhere Spanishninja is salivating.

Who had 4:10 into the game before Knight being "almost an all-star in the East" was mentioned?

[carey]

Would be cool if people were around to talk to during the games. I guess these late games are hard on a lot of us. I'll be asleep soon too probably.

[Furlanfufi]

Bledsoe is playing very well.

Clippers are such whiny bitches and it starts at the top.

[Sunsfan4life]

Clippers are obviously short handed, but it feels good to bust a nut on them on national tv.

Brandin Knight is on fire...

[Mori Chu]

I am watching! Wow, Knight is going nuts. Love seeing our guys take advantage of the Clips' crappy defensive backcourt.

[Mori Chu]

Len is playing horribly. I hate almost everything he does out there. Not sure why he has regressed so much.

[Mori Chu]

Can't help but notice how much better team ball we are playing without Markieff "black hole" Morris out there.

Hope Price is okay, though. Concussion; oof.

It kinda seems like he doesn't know how to handle the exta bulk hes put on. He looks lumbering now out there.

[Mori Chu]

Poor Booker. Just got in the game and got cut open.
