Hot start by the Suns. Mainly Chriss and Booker.

Slow start by the Clipper announcers. They are brutal. They are almost never right as to why a whistle was blown. Dude called Deandre, Michael Jordan.

It's like watching a game being called by someone with Alzheimer's. It's rough.

Deandre just shot a FT 2ft short. He's a mess.

It's pretty strange to see an opponent catch an air-balled FT.

If there was ever a guy who should try shooting them underhanded, Jordan's the one.

Haha, I shouldn't laugh at these anouncers with Alzheimers, but oh well...they won't remember anyways.

Two years ago some analyst or announcer said that in 2 years Blake Griffin would be the best shooter in the league. His shot has greatly improved but the guy who said it shouldn't be allowed within 10 miles of an NBA arena for saying something so ignorant. Wish I could remember who it was.

Love the stat line from booker tonight. Just turned the game on. He's looking good on the court too.

Lakers fell to Minny. They may be uncatchable, so this would be a fun one to win.

Always love beating the clippers, I'd take pleasure in that, but I haven't given up on catching the Lakers yet. They only need to win one more game

Booker was soooo good in this game. One of the best I've seen him play.

Warren is indeed elite at offensive rebounding for non-big men. Have you seen recently a more accurate scouting report on a Suns player? He is exactly the kind of product that was advertised before his draft. If not for the stupid injuries that messed up his continuity (and Hornacek not using him his rookie season), we'd be talking about much more than 14-5 averages. Not turning the ball over is great too, especially on this team.
