Game Day: Suns (46-33) @ Clippers (51-28), Wed 4/10/24

[Superbone]

Maybe not as much as this year, but Lue did manage to give us some fits with a very undermanned squad in past playoffs

Yep, many of us here have been clamoring for him for our head coach. He always seemed to be a master of adjustments.

[Superbone]

I’m hoping the Clippers flame out early in the playoffs and part ways with Lue so that we can snag him.

Like I was saying...

[Superbone]

Isn’t tomorrow Wednesday?

Yes. Why do you ask?

Uh huh.

[Superbone]

We gonna lose by 15 lol

But, will the game be over by the end of the first quarter or not? I'm going to push it back to the 2nd quarter due to this information.

[Superbone]

I won't be watching this team anymore this season. Our stars gave out a golden shower on fan appreciation night. We need to trade Booker and Durant, carefully, so we get whatever value is there for them. Booker's terrible games at the worst moments across a few years show he is not the guy to bring the banner to Phoenix. Ishbia has his work cut out for himself.

What, you didn't feel appreciated last night?!

I think I finally figured it out. The blowout playoff losses two seasons in a row... Last night's game... The secret to beating this Phoenix Suns team (not so secret any more) is to play them physically and they will wilt. They are a finesse team with no answer for physical defense. Not a good combination with the NBA's latest relaxed fouling policy for defenders.

Dallas knows this. The Pelicans know this. OKC knows this. The Clippers know this. Pretty sure the whole league knows this now. It has been shown time and again.

This is kind of a mind game too by Lue and the Clippers. We destroyed you and now we're not going to even try so even if you come out on fire and blow us out, it doesn't mean anything as we sat all our top players. We own you.

Nurk may be more important than anyone realized but if that's the case, what does it say about the rest of the roster.

Fuck the Pelicans. We been whooping their ass all season and beat us one time in a competitive game and suddenly they know the secret? Avocado and Pels can go kick rocks.


Those other teams tho, yeah, it ain’t looking good. Lol

The Clippers may sit their entire starting lineup tonight:

[TOO]

That's ok, Booker are the boys are just chillin anyway.

I'd love to see us come out nonchalant again and get our asses whooped by their bench. That would really hammer home the point. Not that it hasn't been already.

[Split T]

Here’s my thoughts for tonight…

1. It makes Booker eligible for All-NBA
2. If he plays like last night again it may not matter, he’ll lose his spot.

I keep thinking about that ‘36 unbothered’ social post lately. It would be nice if Book and the boys seemed a bit more bothered by the shit show they have served up too often this season.

Just show you give a shit, that's all I ask. All season these dudes have been on cruise control.

If Book is our number 1 guy, where would he rate in #1s in the league? Or Durant for that matter?

[Split T]

Well behind Giannis, Jokic, SGA, Embiid, and Luka for sure. Somewhere in the next tier of Tatum, Curry, Ant, LeBron

[BlaCkAdDa]

Nurk may be more important than anyone realized but if that's the case, what does it say about the rest of the roster.

But this is our problem, he should not be so essential, he's not that good, he's pretty much a cone on defence most the time and not efficient enough on offence to warrant that. Sure he is a decent facilitator, but I don't want a centre being our point of attack unless they're Jokic.
Our gameplan stinks we have no identity.

[Split T]

We really should try Thad out…he at least can be the sort of connector Nurk is for the offense.

I thought he was decent last night in limited minutes. He was at least hustling for loose balls.

Very much like Popovich back in the day isn’t it?
