Game Day Playoff Edition - WCF Suns @ Clippers Game 4, Sat June 26

[Superbone]

I tried to watch back some games from before to see if Book just missing, forcing or whatever. All I can see like most have said is that Beverly is basically getting to manhandle Book more smh. We have to limit his dribbling, don't think it makes sense having Book getting hounded bringing up the ball full court.
Get him on some cross screen action getting the ball low block or already in midrange, or go back to our dribble hand offs to get the ball in motion.

If Book is going to look like Rip Hamilton, he might as well play like him coming off multiple screens.

He needs a much better mask. His currently doesn't fit his face, and the straps are too low and cut into his ears. It looks painful to wear. They can do so much better.

[Superbone]

First thing Isiah Thomas says on NBATV is for the Clippers to step on Payne's ankle.

[Indy]

He'll cut your balls off to win.

[BAMF]

Try play without it like Cam J did if its ok with the doctors

Game 3 was a must-win for the Clips. I don't think we'll ever see that same level of effort and intensity out of them again, except for maybe if we get to a Game 7. Game 4 is much more winnable IMO. Chris Paul won't be as rusty, Booker will be a little more used to the mask, we may get Payne back, we may get Nader back, we can make some adjustments and learn some lessons from the whooping we took in Game 3.

Don't stop feeding Ayton after the 1st quarter. Attack the basket. Find open shooters. Defend without fouling. Single-coverage; stay at home on the 3-point shooters. Switch everything. Lots of minutes for Cam Johnson, who's been spectacular in this series.

I'm hopeful. Polly is hopeful.

Hey Furlanfufi, can we get a Maizena pic too, for additional good luck?

Hell yeah! Not only Maizena this time, but Nunupi is here for good luck too!

Just going from memory, Ken Mauer is a good ref I think, but isn't Zarba horrible?

I would say the opposite. And here is our record this year with each.

Zarba: 4-0
Lewis: 6-1
Mauer: 1-3

A lot of Suns fans in the building.

Friendly and-1 to start the game is refreshing.

[3rdside]

Great start ..

[Flagrant Fowl]

Monty and the boys have adjusted. Game on.

[ShelC]

CP working the midrange early, PnR action with DA for the and-1, Book with a layup in transition and then a Jae corner 3. Good start, we're playing up on defense a lot more. Good start but Mikal was definitely fouled on an attempted wrap up that the refs didn't call but we got the Crowder 3 out of it.

[Wally_West]

Good start, but let’s see how fellas do when the Clippers punch back.
