They were leaving him alone at the FT line. He just needs to get aggressive and shoot the damn ball!

She said she's not watching tonight. I asked her why. It's because of that asshole Beverly and the way he danced around after potentially injuring Paul. She REALLY wanted to kill Beverly. She has so much anger toward him that she can't bear to watch. That's sad. He literally turned a viewer away from watching basketball because of his antics. And the NBA did nothing about it at the time. No taunting technical. And nothing about it upon review afterwards.
Nope, I just looked at all of his offensive fouls this series, and none of them were after throwing the ball into Booker in the post against Beverley. The closest would be this play from Game 4, but Booker was driving into the paint not posting him up: https://www.nba.com/stats/events/?GameE ... )&sct=plot
He is 2 for 16 this series. I wouldn't bother to guard him at all. You go under every screen and pray he shoots a 3 if you are the Clippers. And if you can sag off enough to jump to his spot first to prevent the drive/snake into his spot, even better. I wouldn't mind seeing more time from Payne tonight, but I know he gets hunted like crazy on defense.
The last time a team danced on us, we took it out on them on the court. Hopefully we do the same.Superbone wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 3:03 pmSo, I talked to my mom today.

Yeah, sorry I didn't mean they were all on post plays after a few dribble back-downs. I mean he makes even slight contact going up for a shot and they call him for the foul. When it is the other way, PG pushes off like crazy, or Beverly pushes Devin even more than Devin pushed him in that play, and it gets called.JeremyG wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 4:08 pmNope, I just looked at all of his offensive fouls this series, and none of them were after throwing the ball into Booker in the post against Beverley.

As long as it's not Crowder or Booker mocking him--they can't afford any more techs.Shabazz wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 4:18 pmThe last time a team danced on us, we took it out on them on the court.

I really wanted to see Ayton give him a good shove (something that would draw a tech, but not an ejection or suspension), but that's not his style. If we beat them tonight, they should mock Beverly like they did LeBron.
I'd normally agree with some kind of retaliation, but the Suns were down 9-10 points and that foul turned into a 5 point possession IIRC, which was good enough for me.Shabazz wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 4:18 pmThe last time a team danced on us, we took it out on them on the court.
