Ayton is surrounded by current and former superstars. This is as awake as he'll ever be.
Going to have to find a dumb team like the Knicks or Hornets to trade him to in the off-season

Clips' only chance is to bomb 3s and it's working.
I mean the 3s help, but I think the key for them is dominating the boards, uglying-up the game, out hustling the Suns. But for that to work, they can't turn it over like they did in the first half. Vintage Westbrook in that regard.

Also pretty inexcusable to be in this situation with our PG depth currently

Playing Book and KD the entire 1st quarter. No rest.
In fairness, KD is not currently expending a lot of energy in our offensive sets.
Man has a tent in the corner. Awful usage
I mean Booker is playing great, but KD has to be our #1 option or we don't win a championship.

Ayton actually moved his hand out of the way to create a clearer path for Zubac to shoot

I know blocked shots aren’t everything, but I wish Ayton would try sometimes. He usually just stands with his hands up and patient bigs find a way to avoid him

They probably overturn this but not sure the benefit was enough, I’m fine with LaC challenging that

It’s laughable they are challenging that. Gordon barely touched the ball, much less forced a jump ball.

So far Book has shown to be more than capable as the first option. KD draws much attention away from him. KD needs to step up for sure, but hes only 10 games into a new offense, the other highly paid guy is the one that needs to do something, anything at this point.

I'm not happy with how Monty has used KD. I am not alone in this sentiment.

Good for us for them to get their challenge out of the way early.

Yeah, I don't think it was a foul, but all you do if you win the challenge is force a jumpball and save a foul on Gordon. I don't think it is worth it.

Didn’t even get the jump ball because Booker kept possession

Westbrook deciding to use all his physical skills to finally become a good defensive player now, after years of people hoping he would is funny.
