Game Day Playoff Edition — WCF, Game 1 — Los Angeles Clippers @ Phoenix Suns, Sunday 6/20/2021

SOLD

It's not Leonard's MO to play unless he and his personal team thinks he's 110%.

Yep. Every player should have their own personal medical team. Your employer doesn't have your best interest at heart.

On the other hand, Trae Young will never tell his coach when he is hurt. He loves to play too much.

[Superbone]

By the way, the Chris Paul news definitely slowed down ticket purchases for the game tomorrow. If anyone here is interested, I will sell you these at face value. (My plane doesn't land until about half-time )

Section 117, Row 14, seats 1&2. $850 for both. If you buy through the Suns or ticketmaster you have about an extra $150 in fees. Pay via Venmo

If I was in town, I'd be so on top of this. I hope one of our members can go.

Wait until it is a $100 million dollar decision.

Cap, tell me about Louisiana!

The Suns are 1-0 this season vs. the Clippers when they’re without Kawhi Leonard.

[Superbone]

And hopefully 1-0 in this series in about 16 hours.

Baby Polly believes in her Suns! BEAT LA!!

In reading, the isolation for non symptomatic people (vaccinated) is a minimum of 10 days after exposure...with a second test at day 6? So, I'm guessing that means he has another test coming any day? If it's 10, we',re without him until at least...Wed?

Found this online, and it couldn't sum up the situation any better:

[Mori Chu]

My wild guess is that he misses Games 1 and 2. But who knows. I would be way more upset about this if the Clips weren't missing Kawhi (and the Lakers hadn't lost AD, and the Nugs hadn't lost Murray and others, and the Jazz hadn't dealt with a hobbled/injured Mitchell/Conley, and the Nets hadn't lost Irving and Harden, and the 76ers weren't dealing with a partially torn meniscus for Embiid, ...). It feels like the basketball gods didn't uniquely curse us here. We shall overcome.

Btw. The nba is really going to let Scott Foster ref a Chris Paul game in the WCF?

Is he assigned to one of the games?

Of course he's not officiating this game. CP3 is out. He'll be back officiating when CP3 is back.

Encouraging:

These are the Suns records with these refs officiating this regular season.

Yeah, I don't know what to expect without Paul. Could be really good or really bad. (But I'll take just right. )
