Make us proud Indy! Take lot’s of pictures and video.
And don't get into any fights! :P
lol

Taking photos/videos during the game is hard. I want to *be* there and experience it live. I hate doing that through a phone screen. I think last game I got two pictures pre-game, then one picture at tip off.

Time for Cousins or do they go back to no Center to start?
They said he is playing, but is questionable. So we should test that knee early and often.

As much as Paul kept saying he had to do better with pace, he didn't. We really need to take advantage of DAs rebounding and the guys we have the leak out down court.
Yep, here's somebody saying he's playing:



Time for DOMINATON!

I think we see an improved Paul tonight. His middy should start falling more consistently and he and Payne have been getting those switches on Zubac. Time to go to work.

Zubac won't know what hit him.

Bridges gets a lot of his points when we run, making those cool Booker passes for the dunk. That stopped in the playoffs. Bridges also gets a lot of points off cuts to the basket. We haven’t seen much of that either. I haven’t concentrated on Bridges during the games enough to really know what’s going on.

I hope so. But that tape on his index and middle fingers of his shooting worry me.

Bridges didn't even attempt a 3 in the last game. Hopefully he can get more involved.

I think when the Suns were talking about playing faster they meant the 0.5 offense, not necessarily playing at a fast pace down the court.

Hoping that Booker and/or Paul break out of their slump.

If not, I hope that they will try to go to Ayton more to get something going. A little ridiculous to not at least attempt to go to the incredibly efficient center a few more times.

Does Book start with the mask or no? My bet is that even if he does start with it, he won't finish with it.

Agreed. But not starting your offense until 9 seconds left on the clock on 75% of your possessions is not point-5 offense. It just let's the Clippers get set up and prepared for everything.

I hope so, too. But whatever is wrong with Book, or right with Beverly, the Clippers don't have to use two people on Book. So they can stay home on Mikal. That goes double when Chris Paul is missing all his shots too.

I do think they need to push the ball as well as run the 0.5. I also think the Suns know that as well.

Unfortunately, even down 3-1, I don't think the Clippers are the type to give up. Make no mistake, it's going to be a battle tonight. We just have to show dominance and TAKE IT!

LET'S DO THIS!
