Monty getting out coached so far...again
You talk about me and DA...has Monty ever done anything wrong in your eyes?
Of course. And that's the difference, I can admit it.
I just want someone to explain how he's being out coached in the middle of the first half. It's the most armchair BS take in all of fandom.
At least with Ayton we can watch him do or not do something on the court.
Not being able to figure out Powell while not having to guard Westbrook and having KD only taking 8 shots. Those are two fair examples
It's stupid to "not guard" Westbrook. He has his flaws, but you can't just ignore the PG and play 5v4. The Clippers constantly attacked the rim to start the game, where was the interior defense? That's on Monty or the players?
It seems like a lot of people are expecting KD to do everything at all times, but that's just not going to work. It's better to distribute the offensive load throughout the game, and BTW, Booker went off in the first half.
I disagree with both of those as evidence of being "out coached", but thanks for giving some kind of example.
Edit: I forgot to add that one of my pet peeves is not giving credit to the opponent, Norm Powell in this case.

Lol reading the comments, I guess Ayton was shit? Lol
I mean, he hasn’t been bad so far in the 3rd lol
He's been pretty bad on offense, but his defense is being underrated tonight.

Why did we bench Lee the 2nd half of the season to just put him back in the rotation now?
He does have championship experience so I don't mind giving him a look. Definitely would play him over Shamet.

I feel like he's going to go down as the best Phoenix Suns player ever when he's done.
We can only hope that Ryan McDonough is presenting him at his Ring of Honor induction, and possibly the Hall of Fame as well.

Ayton bounces it off Lees foot and just watches it roll back toward him while a Clipper picks it up three seconds later. LAZY ASSHOLE! I'm sorry but I'm pissed at him.

I was much happier with him in the 3rd Q

Um, that push by Marcus Morris was pretty clear.
Yeah the NBA TV announcers have been big Clipper apologists tonight
The actual Clipper announcers aren't bad and include Mike Fratello on color.
My bad. Wasn't aware it was a Clippers feed. Sometimes NBA tv has their own
I don't know that they are the same. I'm watching the Clippers broadcast. Heard somebody else mention Brendan Hayward.

I don’t mind either, I like Lee. He can make 3s, which can’t be said for many on our bench

Lee's biggest problems in the second half of the season were defensive lapses and trying to play outside of his depth stemming from the stretch when everyone was injured.
There's a good chance both of those issues have been resolved after a long stint of no playing time. Back to the basics, so to speak.

Yeah I mean they've been on a 10 for intensity all game so I mean these are only the fouls they've been called for
