Suns @ Clippers Saturday game thread, November 8th, 2025

[Cheesebeef]

This team moves the ball well.

 

[Phrazbit]

O'Neale and Allen have gone from bad contracts to looking like absolute steals. They thrive in this motion offense, the looks they get are far quicker and more consistent.

I love how we get rebounds in a mad dash, then once we have it dudes just dash to open spaces.

i think this team wins more games than last but jalen's hammy may hamper that

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

we don't buckle - team doesn't flinch just keeps playing

 

[Folster]

Gritty win tonight especially after the Green injury.

 

[Mainstreet]

Pretty sad to see Green go down again after his first game. But we keep fighting and stay in games.

Refs got to be crooked tho.

 

[Mainstreet]

It felt like the Suns were playing five against six tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

Phoenix is now 5-5 on the season.

 

[Superbone]

Gritty 5 on 8 victory and first road win in a tough arena.

I think we're going to really beat up on bad teams, which should keep us in the mix.

My bigger worry is Booker, if he misses 15-20 games, we're probably going to lose like 90% of those.

Him and Williams, who we know has a past. Those 2 guys do things well that no one else on the roster does.

screw it im all in - too much not to like - we're not winning any title but we got knock out power

i like how ott doesn't overload williams' minutes even when we're down- has to be hard with oso and richards

Refs stopped Booker with those personally bad calls, but cannot stop Suns as a team. LOL. We played excellent team ball, with timely nailed 3s from Gillespie, Goodwin, Allen, RO and Brooks. Brooks was huge getting into Harden's and without touching the ball too much he was more effective on O. Ott finally sat Oso in the 2nd half after Oso being repeatedly fooled by Harden. Just great team win.

I've been very impressed with Ott's rotations and time out usage. He likes to mix things up, he is testing stuff out, and if it starts to get sideways he quickly calls time. Like, if we have two or three bad possessions in a row, boom, timeout.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm not one to dwell on officiating, but there were a lot of bad and no calls tonight.

It could have easily changed the outcome, but the Suns played gritty and got the win.

Another solid w. Greens injury is a bummer.

Devin Booker with a nice pass out of a double team late in the game.

I kind of like games and series against the Clinkers, for their being competitive but never personal. The Suns and Clinkers have never had a history. Their games are the opposite of the uncomfortable games against the Kobe Bryant-era Lakers. Moreover, in various games against the Clinkers going back years but including this one, I have seen suggestions that strategy was emphasized, not any rivalry. Back in the 2006 playoff series against the Clinkers (I guess it was a semifinal after that memorable and ugly series against the Lakers), commentators talked of Mike D'Antoni and Mike Dunleavy "playing chess" against each other, constantly shifting lineups and doing different things to win. I have appreciated that approach. I got sick of personal rivalries and soap operas in basketball years ago. Sports should never be personal. Even were I capable of playing sports competently--I'm not, being mildly disabled--I don't have the mindset to be a professional athlete. Don't care enough about competition.

Granted, for a while, Suns fans were getting annoyed about Patrick Beverley's behavior back circa 2021. Yes, well, Beverley left the Clippers right after that, so there was no chance to develop a history of clashes with him. He doesn't usually stay with one team for very long, either because he's a mercenary or possibly because he annoys his own teammates (as well as opposing players and fans) so that his teams keep getting tired of him.

And granted that this can apply to any number of teams--the Milwaukee Bugs, for instance. AFAIK, there was no animosity in the 2021 Finals, because the Suns and Bugs don't meet often enough to care about each other. The Lew Alcindor coin-flip was over fifty years ago, and probably only obsessive Suns fans still care about the Bugs winning it. Why would I; I wasn't even born yet.

As for the Suns-Spurs rivalry, I never got very upset about those failures either. I tended to say "Awwwww...maybe next year." (Although like everyone else, I was delighted at the 2010 sweep.)
