Well as usual

Just not careless with the ball Re: turnovers and don't ever let any team come and outwork you beating us to the loose balls

Think DA, Craig can get on the offensive glass against their small ball

Need Mikal to continue attacking the rim like he did against Nuggets when he wasn't worried about Jokic as a shot blocker
The doubles will come on Book and the others can't be hesitant

We're getting very good looks, just missing. Jittery.

Exactly that. We got at least 3 open 3s

Clearly the Clippers have a better rhythm since they didn't have any extra days off.

Will need to make them pay late when fatigue sets in.

Monty looked upset calling that TO, think he was going at the ref about a noncall on Bridges?

A couple shots not falling, Jae 0-2 from 3 and we seem to be feeling them out a bit. Payne and Jae with some nice drives, Mikal should find that lane open a lot and we actually missed him early along the baseline. DA needs to go right at the rim with the ball. They can't guard him.

Don't want the Clips to start knocking down their 3s, they're in rhythm from having played all of last week. Wondering if their legs start to fade later on.

I feel ok about how this is going so far. Ayton already did more against their small ball lineup than Rudy did

I'm already worried every time Paul George touches the ball. I don't know if he's ever been hotter than the last week.

PG is hitting some very tough shots, which is to be expected. Bridges had some great defense on him right before the break so that'll be fun to watch. Considering the circumstances, we look pretty good.

UGLY offense to end the first quarter. Booker was pressing too much because Dario and E'Twaun can't be relied on to make something happen.

Who handles the ball off the bench is an underrated aspect of missing Paul.

Suns must win these minutes with George on the bench.

Boogie better not be the x-factor for the Clips in this series. He just annihilated Dario on a dunk.

Calling Booker plays for Cam Johnson? OK, Monty.

Freakin Cousins

Sometimes they just need to be patient and he'll defeat himself.

So many damn dumb passes.

Killing us.

Wow. Johnson!

Chis Paul would be dissecting this Clippers zone.

The Suns need to realize this isn't the Nuggets defense. They can't get away with making the skip swing pass on the perimeter anytime they want. They've already been baited into turnovers at least twice by trying to make the greedy pass.

Boogie's eating us up with Dario out there.
