Playoffs: Suns @ Clippers Thursday game thread 4-20-2023 - Game 3

[Dback Jon]

Call a timeout Monty

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Call a timeout

 

[Finito]

Paul with the mid range air ball

 

[Dback Jon]

Pathetic last two minutes

 

[Chaplin]

And they couldn’t sustain the lead. Good job.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 54 - Clippers 51

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Devin Booker brought huge balls tonight

Hopefully it's enough for the whole team

 

[Vacard]

Clips will be worn by the forth

 

[95pro]

Weak arse lead at the half

 

[JosiahLee]

That energy by the clips is going to be their downfall. They need to do that for 48 minutes to win. I don’t think they can without having PG or Kawhi to lean on.

I’m hoping for the same thing. Let’s see if they are gassed by the end of the fourth.

 

[Finito]

Clips will be worn by the forth

This is how they play

 

[AzCardsfan76]

The fact that it’s this close is awful. If the Suns don’t get their heads in it what’s the point??

 

[Mainstreet]

Paul surprised the Clippers by driving for the layup to end the half.

 

[Phrazbit]

They don’t know it’s a damn show.

They think it’s a damn fight!

Now let’s finish these bums and let’s go home.

This is going to a split decision?!

 

[Cheesebeef]

This is going to a split decision?!

I mean… we’ll take it at this point, no?

This team ain’t near talented enough to win a title because Ayton is completely unreliable and CP3 is good once every 3 games.

 

[Mainstreet]

Clips will be worn by the forth

They are 10 deep even with Leonard and George.

 

[Cheesebeef]

It’s kinda incredible how bad our bench is.

 

[elindholm]

Is this all it takes to completely neutralize KD from the game by just being extra physical…sheesh.

There's no way that Durant is a top-three player in the league. He's not even one of the three best players in this series.

 

[Finito]

This team ain’t near talented enough to win a title because Ayton is completely unreliable and CP3 is good once every 3 games.

And it’s looking the the worst bench in the playoffs

 

[clyde2tw]

I thought Okogie got the assignment to cover Powell in last 2 games, why not do the same more now Powell starts and destroying the Suns D

 

[Chaplin]

There's no way that Durant is a top-three player in the league. He's not even one of the three best players in this series.

Who’s #3?

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Just need to play a clean game in the 2nd half. 8 turnovers is way too much in a half for this team.

Didn't shoot great and turned it over too much and are still leading. Could be better, but I think it's a good sign.

 

[elindholm]

Who’s #3?

You mean behind Leonard and Booker? Westbrook. He's straight-up outplaying Durant.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns have to figure out a way to use Landale. Four points from the bench (Okogie) is not going to cut it.

Yupp. That’s all it is. Clippers are playing with nothing to lose. We’ve just gotta play our game. Idk why we have to complicate things. See what the defense is doing, get in the right spots and play ball.

I really hope Book has another good half. Gotta get KD going too.
