Western Conference Round 1, Game 2: Clippers (1-0) @ Suns (0-1), Tues 4/18/23

[Superbone]

Has Shamet done anything in the game besides sub in and then sub out?

I don’t remember him making a shot in the series thus far. I hope I forgot at least one or two. I may remember a dunk in game one.

[Superbone]

Mann gets away with so much holding and pushing off of the ball.

Clippers plan is obviously to be very physical.

[MightyMoog]

Is no one going to mention the fact that our 4 starters had not played an nba game for 2 weeks before Sunday? Took them a half to warm up, that ended up being the difference in Game 1. It's a good series, with good competition and no stupidity so far. Only Stupid thing has been Landry's minutes.

Especially with KD. Fortunately they started calling the body fouls after the first quarter.

[Superbone]

First to 100 bitch!!

I thought the same thing when it happened minus the bitch.

If you're going to play him, do it for more than 2mins at a time or just gives those mins to Okogie

Did someone tell Perk that Ty Lue did make adjustments? They went small for a bit. They also tried to move their big back to Craig…we just screened with Craig. They tried scram switching before the screen and KD got a wide open 3. They also tried switching with Zubac and CP3 hit an iso pull up on him.

[Flagrant Fowl]

The laughing in the background says it all.

You just did. Hopefully, they keep getting better from here.

[Split T]

I wish we had an extra day off somewhere. We are the only team that will play 3 games in 5 days and we’ll play 4 in 7 before getting an extra day off between games 4 and 5.

[Superbone]

I fully expected that sentence to end badly.

Thinking fuckers over bitch perhaps?

[Split T]

We are shooting 57/50/100…we’re tied because they are +6 on the offensive glass, +2 in the turnover battle, +3 from 3, and +6 at the line.

To follow up, we ended up:

59/42/93. We were actually +1 on the offensive glass in half 2 and +6 on turnovers. We were +2 on 3s…and that made up for them being +11 at the ft line. I said if we clean up the turnovers and the offensive rebounds that we’d win.

It seems like Monty doesn't trust any of those guys enough to give them real minutes unless they somehow do something awesome right away. Then he might give them another 3-4 possessions.

[Uncle_Gene]

Whew !

[JeremyG]

Chris needs to shoot that 3. He was open but settles for bullshit middie

CP3 gotta take that 3

I don't know how many times I yelled that at the TV tonight.

[JeremyG]

See how Zubac was ready for the Kawhi pass and didn't fumble on the catch? Must be nice for Clippers fans.

Yep. Must be nice for a center to receive clean passes.

[JeremyG]

We have survived the Biyombo minutes, but I’m nervous. I’d like to get Ayton back in now please

I thought you wanted to trade him to the Mavs for a pu-pu platter?

[JeremyG]

Please more of that Ayton…go strong to the hoop

Chris mother fucking Paul

Funny how we said Paul and Ayton shouldn't be the ones shooting down the stretch but they were the ones who sealed the deal with about 2 minutes left. It was definitely more balanced tonight, though, with some KD before that and of course Book the whole second half.
