Should of been a jump ball when George tied up Crowder that was a heroic play by him but they let Suns get a timeout when his hands were on ball.

On the dunk play it was such an egregious run off of the clock by the timekeeper would of likely been a technical for rushing the court on Suns if the clock was kept correctly.

If they had called a technical foul it would have been very interesting to see who Lue would've had step to the stripe.

[Four33]

They both have had to deal with choker George...

True

[Eddy Munny]

I don't have a good feeling about tonight's game... I see the Clippers saddled with physical and emotional fatigue.

I hope I'm wrong, but the way the last game ended often times carries over into the next for the losing team.

No wager on this game but I'd lean Suns. This 0-2 is different than the previous 0-2's.

They really had a shot to command this game after the first. Then lue kept rondo in too long and the suns are collapsing on everyone else and they’ve got 4 points in 7 minutes

Rondo has contributed absolutely nothing in the postseason for the Clippers. I'm not even sure why he's soaking up any minutes at this point. His +/- is somewhere in the gutter. The front office has to be kicking themselves for shipping Lou Williams in return for this guy.

You have to use rondo for quick spurts only and you have to play him with your best shooters and playmakers. You can’t play him with the scrubs or he will make you regret it

[rm18]

Suns are finished without Cam Payne they are just an average team.

have faith in the refs young man

Refs aren't shading towards the Clippers, the Clips are raising their level of defense.

It's also evident that the Suns miss Cam Payne more than they missed Chris Paul.

[goduke]

Mann is really the X factor on this team. When he is playing well and getting the minutes they really play so much better.
Lue needs to stick with Beverly Mann George zubac Jackson. That lineup really performs well

[beantown34]

have they mentioned kawhi status this game?

[goduke]

Also no cousins so far which is a great sign. Keep his idiot ass on the bench

Leonard is done man. He’s been done for awhile. Clippers won’t push him back knowing that’s what the Spurs did and it ended the relationship

Stop spreading disinformation. You error on the side of pessimism on every topic. He doesn't have a torn ACL... if he did, it would be as simple as disclosing the fact and moving on with the season, you know, like every other organization does with a player who's out for the year.

He's dealing with a sprain, there's a chance for him to return, it's just a matter of when... He may even be out for this series, who knows, but there's obviously a timetable for which Kawhi's return is possible this postseason.

[beantown34]

goduke just knows kawhi is a wimp

no heart

most superstars would be out there right now same injury

It hasn't even been a week and a half yet since he sustained the injury, it just feels like it's been awhile because the Clippers have been on a grueling playoff schedule with no breaks. I imagine you have to give the guy at least two weeks before you see him on the court again.

Ok I’ll rephrase I feel like he’s done. There were some leaked info out there that said torn acl but also I’m using the basis of how much the clippers will protect Leonard. Hey I’m the first guy that would love Leonard back. But it’s very odd don’t you think that there’s literally no words out there about his injury from the clippers other than sprain knee. No progression updates, no leaked videos of him rehabbing, nothing

[Goat Milk]

Suns do not deserve to be ahead in this series, plain and simple, they have been outplayed all 3 games. Should be 3-0 clippers right now. At the very least 2-1 obviously. Unforutnately we have to dig our way out of a hole again.

[goduke]

But either way man we are on the same thing so I’m happy they performed tonight

[Eddy Munny]

I don't wanna wish any ill upon another player, but I hope Cam Payne takes all the time he needs, and then some, before he decides he's game-ready again.

[Goat Milk]

Ty Lue has been amazing in the playoffs, everyone getting on his case. Real coaches are former players. Lue has made all the best adjustments. Rondo played 7 min in the first half, didn't have it tonight, had more turnovers himself than the entire team. Got benched.

He started Reggie Jackson in the playoffs.
Now he's starting Beverly and Mann too.

No one has switched their lineups like Ty Lue. Guy is a great basketball mind.

And ppl on SBR are trying to tell him what to do

Benching rondo and not letting cousins play were great moves tonight

[beantown34]

i only saw the 2nd half but wow is CP3 a clown. guy chucking shots up like its a video game. killed the suns tonight

Not to mention Marcus Morris has been less than 100% the past two games so that's basically three starters that are out or compromised for the Clippers yet Lue keeps pushing the right buttons to keep this team afloat.

If that fluke shit didn't happen in game 2 this series would be over. Clippers would finish them, they are hungry and wouldn't let go of the gas. Now we got to sweat out a tough game 4.

Yeah that game two was a huge flip, Clippers would be playing downhill right now if they were up 2-1.

[rm18]

I mean he made good adjustments I guess but he should be able to know the personnel and not play the wrong guys at the beginning of the series. Playing Cousins 5 less minutes than Zubac in game one and using Cousins as a defensive specialist against the final play in game 2 is bad coaching.

[thomorino]

The Payne injury is huge, will be interesting to see if he can go in game 4. Even with Paul back Payne has been key off the bench.

[thomorino]

Morris looked better this game and the Clippers are better playing Zubac anyways since Phoenix doesn’t have a lot of guys who will expose Zubac on the perimeter and Ayton really hurt them when they went small in game 1.

[Goat Milk]

Those young players play much better with their home crowd generally. It was not a shock to see Payne play good in 2 games in PHX. Whether he's healthy or not he will fold on the road.

[Art Vandelay]

Clips had the Suns right where they wanted them - Down 0-2. Let the rally continue, 3 to go!

[Eddy Munny]

This team looks fatigued... Constantly settling for deep shots that are all iron.

Hard to believe they're still within striking distance with this bricklayers convention going on.

[scorpion896]

Why did Ty Lue go away from the starting 5 that won us game 3? Why did he bench Mann for Morris? We literally adjusted against ourselves.

Lue trying to get cute cost us this game what an idiot.

[Eddy Munny]

Hold the phone... Clipper magic is in the building!
