Game Day: Clippers (26-19) @ Suns (23-21), Mon 1/27/25

We’re playing with energy tonight.

[ShelC]

Royce has been ice cold. 3-20 from 3 in the last 4 games.

[SunsShine]

Great 1st half.

[LazarusLong]

Royce has been ice cold. 3-20 from 3 in the last 4 games.

Looks like the thaw set in and he found his shot ... 3-6 in the first half.

[ShelC]

Good first half, shots are falling for us but not so much for the Clips. Zubac was hurting us inside and doing work against Richards early on but Richards hung around and was able to make some nice plays inside on both ends. Allen was hot, Royce looks like the shot is coming around, Book and Tyus are running offense well. Just wish we could tighten up the defense inside a bit. I like that KD is off the ball more and looking for the C+S opportunities or getting the ball on the move rather than just ISOing for most of the possession.

I haven’t found much time to watch in the past few weeks but that was the best half of basketball I can remember seeing this year.

Plumlee, Grayson making plays, Durant getting to his spots, and Royce O’Neal dominating the last 3 minutes of the half. Booker is nuclear hot too.

[ShelC]

Also, Allen's found his rhythm but I also think he's lost some of the weight from earlier in the year. He looks a lot quicker and more explosive on his drives now.

[LazarusLong]

Winning the rebound battle so far, 25-16. 7-1 offensive edge.

Shooting 14-25 from distance -- 56%

[Split T]

We look like a legit good team?

[TOO]

You guys forgot the 3rd quarter exists...

[Mori Chu]

Well played first half. I really like the inside presence Richards gives us. Also I think Tyus is playing with a bit more confidence and aggressiveness which is very welcome. Good to see Royce shooting and playing well since he has been in a painful slump lately.

For the Clips, man Kahwi looks about 50 years old out there; the injuries have really reduced him as a player. Zubac is great, one of the most underrated bigs in the NBA.

[LazarusLong]

Zubac started hot, got Richards in a bit of foul trouble early.
Plumlee was good off the bench, keeping Zubac at bay with some physical play. Plumlee had three blocks.

[ShelC]

KD is just awful passing in the PnR.

[Split T]

You guys forgot the 3rd quarter exists...

This one is on TOO

Imagine thinking it would go any other way against Ty Lue and this teams history.

[TOO]

KD is just awful passing in the PnR.

Beal and his new obsession with jump passes under the rim is a choice.

[Wally_West]

Just started watching. Beal has zero points??? Wth, why???

[Furlanfufi]

He doesn't wanna be traded.

[SunsShine]

Beal is awful.
