I think we should mix up double teaming Powell and see how he does with that. Is he used to being double teamed? He might cough up the ball a few times. The Clippers have junked up their defenses all over the place trying to confuse the Suns and have had success. If Durant or Booker get anywhere near the ball they are instantly double teamed. The Suns seem content with one on one defense and letting Powell go off on them. In fact that seems to be their MO on every star they play. Let the star go off and stifle everyone else. I think that is a strategy that can work if you then in the second half start doubling the star and the other guys that haven’t been a part of the offense in the first half start taking shots and are cold.
I wouldn’t double Westbrook. Just be ready to help on his drives to the basket and force him into jump shooting. He gets a little confidence and starts chucking up shots.
That’s what we did in game 2. Started doubling Kawhi in half 2

We’re due for a bad Westbrook game
Like Game 1?
Yes…we blow them out if he plays like game 1 again. No Kawhi to counter balance that.

Unfortunately, he plays better when he's the star. I can't believe he became a good shooter all of a sudden though. You would think he's due to come back to earth.

I agree that we should double the opposing top player more often in general.

Fellas I just want to put this out there. I got mixed up on the schedule and wore my Suns socks yesterday. If we lose this one, it's on me.

The Clips have nothing to lose so they’re ready to risk it all.
That's the scary part. The Clips ain't scared of Durant and Book. They're playing hard.
