No Kawhi again for the Clippers, which sucks but Suns need to take advantage and win. Even it ends up being another ugly win. A win is a win, so let’s go freaking win!

Should be a good one…. Who’s gonna be the chef today? Durant, Booker, Ayton, CP3? I’m liking the chance KD leads all scores today

Ayton? One can only hope.

Let's go!

[Split T]

We gonna see more of that all-guard lineup for LAC?

We gonna see more of that all-guard lineup for LAC?

Let's see if Ayton can take advantage if so. He really should be able to prosper.

[Superbone]

Who's the biggest of them all? Come on Ayton! Show us something! Make ALL of us happy.

Monty acknowledged they can do a better job of using him against the small lineup. We’ll have to see if anything changes.

My prediction: Ayton has a good game, Booker has a bad game (at least by his standards—he’s due for one and LAC will likely focus on him more), whether we win comes down to Durant.

[Split T]

If they focus more on Book, KD will feast

[JeremyG]

It would be great if they try to take away Book only for KD to get his 40+ point game.

Out still. His back is a little sore.

[JeremyG]

It seems like Tony Brothers is always terrible for us.

[JeremyG]

Al McCoy and Tim Kempton talking right now about how Monty has to make a concerted effort to run plays for Ayton and get him the ball and keep him involved offensively.

[Mori Chu]

We have to stay aggressive, not let up just because we're up and Kawhi's out. Danger of getting complacent and trying to coast; this Clipper team won't fall for that. Gotta stomp on them while they're down and get the 3-1 lead to all but ensure the series win. LET'S GO

[TOO]

I'd love a big Ayton game today

[Kryptonic]

Bahahahaha…. Went straight to ayton on opening play and chokes.

[Kryptonic]

Don’t want to hear crap about drawing up plays for him when he chokes on his first chance.

[TOO]

Ayton moved his feet well there vs Westbrook caused a TO

[Split T]

Ayton playing well early
