Suns @ Clippers Sunday game thread 10-23-2022

Look… Ayton made that layup, but Jesus Christ… PLAY LIKE YOUR SIZE AND DUNK THAT.

Otherwise we get that crap at the end of the Portland game.

 

[Phrazbit]

Fantastic team defense all night long. The Clippers are wasting half their shot clock just trying to get a ball handler settled.

D was very good tonight.

This is a solid W.

 

[Yuma]

I thought tonight would be an L.
We won one we should not have, lost one we should have won, and now winning one we should not.

 

[sdscard4]

Nice having Shamet back too

 

[Dback Jon]

Time to pull the starters Monty

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker pretty much seals the win with that floater.

 

[cheesebeef]

Booker and the bench were the story tonight.

Our three young guys who we need to take big steps this year look exactly like they have the last two years. It bothers the hell out of me that not ONE of those guys has taken a big step forward. They were ALL lottery picks. And they’re all good. But not one of them being great or at least REALLY good us gonna limit is long-term.

 

[Dback Jon]

Another 3 by Book

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker says any doubt? How about a 3P.

Really good point - by now those three should be much more dominant players

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Suns 112 - Clippers 95

I get it with Bridges though. He is older than Booker he just won't have that growth track.

No excuse with Ayton. None.

 

[Mainstreet]

I really like what Jock Landale brings off the bench. Solid win over a good team.

 

[Dback Jon]

Didn’t realize it had been that long Since they won at Clippperz

He is a fantastic addition.

Yeah, we shouldn't have won this one.

 

[Mainstreet]

Craig gave the Suns a solid effort with 8 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists.

 

[Phrazbit]

An end to end domination of the alleged Western favorites on their own court with their entire team available. Went up 10 in the first quarter and never let em close.

I sense the sky isn't falling.

 

[GatorAZ]

Suns could’ve easily lost game 1 or won game 2 so 2-1 sounds about right.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Craig gave the Suns a solid effort with 8 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists.

The three offensive rebounds were all huge at the time in stopping the Clippers from going on a run.

 

[Mainstreet]

I thought tonight would be an L.
We won one we should not have, lost one we should have won, and now winning one we should not.

Win at home and play .500 on the road. A good coach once said that.

Booker starts the season 30 / 4.5 / 6 and shooting 50% from 3
