Does anyone get a friendlier whistle than Trae Young? He gets every call…it’s very annoying
There’s always Harden LeBron and Embiid.

Honestly Embiid needs to stop flopping so much. It’s disgraceful. Same with LeBron.

Well, if Terance Mann is going to score 36 points a night, yes.

I think our defense is way better than what the Jazz are doing right now

Well, we didn't get our extension but we got home court advantage. Sun(s)day it is.

I need a good Father's Day gift, Suns. Just sayin'.

Also, no way we can lose Polly's first game on Father's Day!

Should Monty make everybody stay on their shooters and let Ayton only protect the paint?

When the Clippers game first started, I was wondering if LA and Philly have the same player. One they call Maxey and the other one Mann. But then Mann went to distance himself with a career high of 39 points.

Actually two down. Monté isn't related and has no history with us, but he's a Morris.

If Paul isn't available, I would start Moore and let Payne come off the bench like he's used to doing.

They might play 5-out and Morris could kill us from 3 if we don't send Ayton out to guard him. They have some things they can do, but without Kawhi it will be much harder for them. But they did a great job in that series. We can't get happy on the farm just yet.

Ayton needs to make them pay for playing their small ball team. Something Rudy was completely unable to do.

Yes, have Ayton post up multiple times in a row to start the game.

Especially if Paul is out, we need Ayton to help carry the scoring load.

Is there anyone here against sending Jae to provoke Morris and make him lose his cool?

Yes. Clippers don’t attack the rim very much. They want to shoot jumpers.

We need to punish them during their shooting lulls..something the Jazz weren’t always able to do as they’d got through big lulls themselves. They’ll switch everything, which does take us out of our offense, but I do think Ayton will make them pay more than Rudy could.

We also have the ability to match their small ball lineup and switch everything as well. Utah couldn’t do that. Jazz also couldn’t keep the clippers players in front of them on the perimeter, that left the team scrambling on defense and gave them wide open 3s over and over.

Without Kawhi, I feel pretty good as we have 2 of the 3 best players in the series. If Kawhi manages to come back or CP3 misses more than a game or 2…it gets a little dicey.

If he can get Reggie Jackson on him. Mostly I’d just have him crash the boards. He is a truly special offensive rebounder when he wants to be.

One other thing, we will make the clippers pay if they play Luke Kennard.
