I thought the Clippers did a good job of locking down on Booker. He started 4-4, I think, the Clippers adjusted, and the Suns just didn't have another gear to shift into.
Yeah, book fell off a cliff after halftime. He had a layup to start the 3rd and one to end it, but other than that he missed every shot he took in the 3rd and 4th quarter. At least his FTs were going well (9-9 in the 2nd half).

If we swap Payne for Rondo we win.

If Payne becomes Bubble Payne again, we win.

If Saric does Saric things we win.

These are two of our most important assets. They normally dominate the 2nd team of our opponent. Both have been struggling as of late. What happened to Moore and Galloway?
I wanted Monty as our coach since D'Antoni left town. Nice choice James Jones.

I don’t know what’s going on with Dario, but it’s been a long enough stretch now that I’m concerned.

Both Payne and Saric did exactly what they do. They are highly variable players, and lack consistency. Otherwise lottery picks don't end up out of the league in 3 years and/or play for 3 teams in 3 years.

Saric has been a massive turd as of late.

That was the worst last night when nobody was around him and he did a fake and traveled when he could have just laid the ball in the hoop.

Yeah, they needed that bucket at that time too. He was a complete disaster last night. It looked like he totally forgot how to play and was rattled by the Clippers.

The 3's weren't falling and Clippers hit tough shots. Tough back to back, so I can't complain that the Suns split the two games.
