Clippers @ Suns Thursday game thread 2-16-2023

[Mainstreet]

And Ross again.

 

[Mainstreet]

Clippers got a bunch of good players in Hyland, Plumlee and Gordon.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Clippers 28 - Suns 23

 

[Covert Rain]

Not sure what is worse. The shot selection or the poor perimeter defense. Suns lucky to be only down by 5.

 

[Covert Rain]

My gosh. Don’t leave Gordon open.

 

[Mainstreet]

Four quick points by Suns sparked by Okogie.

 

[cheesebeef]

Man… so many new parts, so little time to put them all together. I’m not really expecting a title this year. It’s next year or bust.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with Suns trailing 38-34.

 

[cheesebeef]

Okogie going nuts!

 

[Mainstreet]

And another steal. Clippers lead down to 1.

 

[Mainstreet]

Oh my gosh, Okogie.

 

[Covert Rain]

WOW

 

[Covert Rain]

CP3 has no hops tonight. He looks flat on his feet and passive.

 

[cheesebeef]

Ayton drops a perfect dish from Okogie. Then short-arms a six footer. Then passes out a post up with Mann, 8 inches shorter, underneath the basket.

There we go big man. Bucket.

 

[cheesebeef]

First lead.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns take the lead 50-49.

 

[cheesebeef]

Like what I’m seeing from Ross.

 

[Covert Rain]

Ross looks to be a good pickup.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton misses the layup.

 

[cheesebeef]

Ayton BLOWS the layup and AGAIN gives up the offensive rebound.

 

[Covert Rain]

OMG AYTON.

 

[Joe Mama]

Every mason Plumlee screen I've seen so far should have been an obvious foul. He's practically bending over to stick his butt out into people trying to get around him. You would think he saw a shiny penny on the floor each time.

Go Josh O!

 

[cheesebeef]

11 rebounds for Zubac to 4 for Ayton.

 

[NashDishesDimes]

Where book at

 

[Proximo]

I don’t know what has gotten into Okogie, but I hope it continues.
