Tuned in at work with us up 62 - 61 I believe when George made his funny step layup and then they went on a 10-0 run or something
I turned off to come back to being down 92 - 81 then we went on our run to cut it til 5. Just seen the final score and read the last two pages of this thread which obviously is tough to read. I might just watch it over in the morning instead

He should have been ejected either with a flagrant two and/or for celebrating the fact that he almost killed CP3. Disgusting person. Remember when he tried to kill CP3 undercutting him at halfcourt in the regular season and got a flagrant 2? How was this any better?

I still think it's a health issue. He always gets worn out by around game 4 or 5 of a series.

How can he take advantage if he doesn't touch the ball? There were at least 5 times he actually called for the ball and they still wouldn't give it to him!Split T wrote: ↑Mon Jun 28, 2021 8:46 pmFirst bad game for DA, he looked like Rudy against the Clippers out there tonight. Honestly I’d match their small lineup with our own small lineup. Go ahead and start Ayton, see if he can take advantage, but I’d pull him early if he can’t and bring him in against Cousins, or Zubac if he plays.
The fact that the clippers can play pretty much every defensive style is giving us problems.

Jae's Closerout/Finger poke was way worse.

He doesn't really have any post moves. He has that fadeway or jump hook. It was disappointing he kept trying to tip the ball to himself instead of grabing it.JeremyG wrote: ↑Mon Jun 28, 2021 9:43 pmHow can he take advantage if he doesn't touch the ball?

I also want to shout out Cam Johnson. I think him and Book were only two that came to play tonight. Book was abused defensively, but the Suns did no favors by putting him on smaller guys constantly and not fighting threw switches.

The Clippers made some adjustments. They didn’t start a Center once again. Ayton chewed up the boards when they did that before. The Clippers figured out that the Suns never push the ball so, they decided to gang rebound not having to worry about being burned on a fast break and it worked great.
Ayton comes out and Cousins comes in and scores at will…again being guarded by Sarić.
Paul George scored at will.
They attacked Booker with Morris to start the game and he scored at will until they finally doubled him.
The Suns offense has been bogged down. Pass the ball around the three point line until someone chucks up something. Never ever under any circumstance run a fast break or push the ball at all.
Awful game.
Monty was out coached big time imo.

In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.

The pace needs to be picked up, I agree with that.
Also Paul was not as agressive as he needed to be against that soft zone. We ran High PnR and he could have had a 17 footer every time and passed on it.

I want to see a more aggressive Paul next game. His shot was falling, there's no reason he shouldn't have been
Re: Game Day Playoff Edition — WCF, Game 5 — Los Angeles Clippers @ Phoenix Suns, Monday 6/28/2021
Yeah, he was wide open but looking to pass. Time for him to take over in Game 6! Come on!

That's called a traveling violation, but I'm sure you already know that.bajanguy008 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 28, 2021 9:35 pmTuned in at work with us up 62 - 61 I believe when George made his funny step layup....

Chris Paul was 8-13 from two, 0-6 from three.

Which traveling violations they choose to call is infuriating. They called one on Cam Johnson that was very minor and gave him basically zero advantage against the defender.Superbone wrote: ↑Mon Jun 28, 2021 10:33 pmIf only the refs knew that…Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Mon Jun 28, 2021 10:23 pmThat's called a traveling violation, but I'm sure you already know that.bajanguy008 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 28, 2021 9:35 pmTuned in at work with us up 62 - 61 I believe when George made his funny step layup....
Paul George literally skips into his defender and not only do they not call the travel, but they also award him with drawing a foul.

Did you see the one where George took about 5 steps before we came up with a steal and no call from the refs?
