Game Day: Suns (19-17) @ Clippers (22-13), Mon 1/8/24
Time: 8:30 pm AZ (7:30 pm PT/10:30 pm ET)
Place: Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles, CA
TV: AZ Family 3TV/NBATV
Who’s up for another beating? May I have some more, sir? The frustrating Suns hit the road for a game in LA against the Clippers who lost to the Lakers last night by 3. It would be nice to see the Suns come out with intensity in the first quarter this time but probably not. Like FF said, don’t get your hopes up.

Curious if KD is playing. I want to see how we fare against them with all of the Big <= 3 available.
Re: Game Day: Suns (19-17) @ Clippers (22-13), Mon 1/8/24
Offensively the Suns are doing pretty good. They will probably score a lot of points, just not enough because they can’t slow anyone down and they will let the Clippers get a whole bunch of offensive rebounds.
Re: Game Day: Suns (19-17) @ Clippers (22-13), Mon 1/8/24
The offense can't go through extended lulls though. They need to be scoring consistently, all 4 quarters. Last night it was ridiculous. They were scoring over 30 points in each quarter, and then they put up about half that in an 18 point quarter, without stopping the Grizz.

For some reason, I think this will be a win for us. Maybe even a blowout.

Re: Game Day: Suns (19-17) @ Clippers (22-13), Mon 1/8/24
I think you're right. We score a decent amount but we're hardly blowing teams out of the water which is a problem when our defence is so porous (particularly in the 4th quarter).

Not in the fourth quarter, they're not.

Y'all are in denial. This team is lacking, idk if it's the talent mix or the coaching, but when it comes to crunch time this team hasn't shown any sort of reason to believe in them. Clippers by 20.

Oh I completely agree. That doesn't mean I can't think we're going to win this game. We've been consistently inconsistent all year so it's just as likely that we put in the sort of performance we saw against the Heat tonight and come out with the W.

How about in the 4th quarter?

That too. Maybe even the 2nd and 3rd as well. The Suns owe us fans after that debacle last night.

I had the same hunch last night, but we'll need KD to play.
I'm somewhat glad the schedule is about to get difficult. No more chances to make excuses. Put up or shut up.

Re: Game Day: Suns (19-17) @ Clippers (22-13), Mon 1/8/24
Will definitely need KD to play. But like SS92 said, we're so inconsistent it would make sense we'd beat the Clips after last night's L.

Agree. And I’m done with the lame ass soft tissue injury excuses. Rather play through being hurt or just enjoy being a weak ass bust on the bench. At this point, execute or don’t. If you broke a bone or damaged ligaments, ok. But if your butt is just sore, enough.

It's weird to me that a lot of Suns fans, perhaps myself included, are counting on Bol Bol and Little as viable help that's missing, that could really help tonight.
