Are you sure benching Craig won't destroy the continuity?

If Kawhi played through it Game 2, I didn't notice.

Tonight's a must win. Can't lose and then possibly see Kawhi on Saturday. A part of thinks there may be some load management going on because of the short turnaround. Can Lue switch it up enough to steal one here?

Maybe they realized they have no counter attack and decided to pull a Lebron.

With no Leonard, will Okogie be back in the starting lineup?

Either way, it's a mistake on Monty's part, am I right?!

Nope, it's a mistake if he doesn't start Okogie. The whole excuse for benching him was Leonard and he's out.

I don't agree. Craig has been fantastic as a starter in the first two games. You could easily argue the opposite.

I think it’s silly to think who starts between Okogie and Craig matters all that much. It’s our 5th and 6th man. They are very similar, I really don’t think it matters.

Though I will say I’d be tempted to start Okogie and throw him on Russ. Russ is gonna try and win this game for them and he’d probably go 6 for 27 against Josh

Payne out for tonight.

From what I heard on the radio today, it’s not load management. It’s doctors not clearing him to play.

That's what he'd like you to believe.

Gotta love Westbrook bouncing a pass off the back of Zubac's head.

Looks like the Clippers are going to do a lot of extending ball pressure and defensive switching. Time for the Suns to run their stuff, and I hope the shooters are ready to hit from the corner.

This is f’n ridiculous. My game isn’t recording!!!

I think putting Gordon on Durant is done, but credit to him for forcing the Durant travel.

So we either force a turnover or give up a layup

Vintage Ayton early. lol

Typical first quarter for the Suns in this series, disjointed and hesitant on the first open look.
