Scott Foster isn't calling shit.

[TOO]

Guard the fucking 3 man. Good grief.

[Flagrant Fowl]

There he is! Welcome to the show everyone.

[Kryptonic]

and HERE"S FOSTER!

[TOO]

Scott Foster isn't calling shit.

*if you're a Suns player.

[Charlie Smithy!]

Turnovers lol

[Flagrant Fowl]

Much more of a focus on disrupting Kawhi with a kitchen sink's worth of looks.

[Drewsprocket]

This team doesn’t know itself and struggles executing. Shit time to be learning to come together.

[Mori Chu]

I think we are seeing real problems with this team. We just don't get enough "easy" buckets. Where are the 3s and drives to the basket? Too many iso mid-range jumpers. I wish Chris Paul were still good; if he could run the offense well, that would make up for a lot of it. But now he's just kind of out there. I'll never understand why we leave great 3-point shooters wide open. These guys hit over 40%! Guard them!

[Flagrant Fowl]

Wait a minute. Have you considered the Clippers defense with Kawhi Leonard might be pretty damn good?

[Flagrant Fowl]

Kawhi is the best player through 5 quarters and it's really not close.

[TOO]

Another rebound Ayton bonks off his own hands leading go a 3 lol.

He looks like MJ right now. Both ends, just unreal. Good enough to win a title if George comes back.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Another rebound Ayton bonks off his own hands leading go a 3 lol.

He's actually showing physical assertion down there, but yeah, still can't grab anything in traffic.

[Kryptonic]

Another rebound Ayton bonks off his own hands leading go a 3 lol.

It was Monty's fault

[Flagrant Fowl]

The whole first quarter is physical and nothing from the refs. First possession of the second quarter and a soft bump foul on a fadeaway. Awesome.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Ayton dribbles into and passes out of Plumlee's defense, so why does Paul patiently wait for him in the subsequent PnR to get him a worse shot?

[ShelC]

This team is lost right now.
