Clippers @ Suns Wednesday game thread 1-3-2024

[gimpy]

Well, I finally get to see my first Sun's game in maybe 2 years. After watching that first quarter, I'm about ready to turn it off.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bol Bol with the putback.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Bol Bol show continues

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Bench doing work early tonight

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Same thing happened last game - Beal ran with the bench and the Suns slowly crept back in the game

 

[Mainstreet]

Metu runs the court for the SLAM.

Terrible first quarter. Wish this team could actually see the “Big 3” play together for at least 10-15 games just so we can see what potential they actually have.

Nice to see you Gimpy! Hope the second quarter is better.

We should play Book more off ball, and let Gordon, Beal initiate more, particularly when it's clear Book got figured out by the other team.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

lmao is that Bol Bol or Dennis Rodman out there

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Perimeter D looking awful so far…

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Just giving up wide open threes. This is so annoying. Does anyone have any pride on defense? So frustrating watching this nonsense.

Yep, he hasn’t figured out how to make teams pay when they double him. Then he just jumps in the air and throws an errant pass that gets picked.

 

[Mainstreet]

Pretty move by Grayson Allen.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Halfway thru the 2nd quarter Book still on the bench

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Perimeter D looking awful so far…

Borderline non existent now.

 

[Yuma]

Might as well rest Book. Maybe Beal, the way it's going.

 

[Mainstreet]

If only Bol Bol was about 20-30 pounds heavier and stronger. He has skills.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Now with Book on the floor and Beal on the bench - the clippers decide to cover Book full court style

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Beal comes back in - hopefully clippers quit doubling/tripling Book

 

[Yuma]

The music only sounds so loud because there's zero excitement in the building.

 

[Phrazbit]

Allen getting abused on pretty much every defensive possession over the last 5 minutes. They isolate him... they score, it happened on 6 of 7 plays the last few minutes.

 

[95pro]

Just lackadaisical play by Book several times.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

If I'd known it was gonna be this kinda party I woulda stuck my **** in the mashed potatoes

This looks like one of those games where they just go through the motions. Other than a few players, no energy whatsoever. Booker looks bad, defense is disgustingly bad.
