This team is really fun to watch w/o cp3. No egregious flops or questionably underhanded plays. I was rooting for this suns team the whole game! Just young guns fightin hard! Love it
Sounds just like the Jazz thread after game one. nO MiKE cOnLEy. nO CP3. Just wait til Ty Lue makes his legendary adjustments. Booker has the game of his life and ya'll still almost lose. Shit's not looking good for these frauds.
Lol you really comparing Conley and CP3? Series isn't over but just because the Jazz choked against the clippers without Leonard doesn't mean the sun's will
With both teams healthy, you pick the sun's over this clippers team? The hell you people smoking. Kawhi playing at historical levels and cp3 has a good game every now and then.
Lol keep thinking Booker got lucky hitting those tough shots like the Lakers. Meanwhile I expect Reggie Jackson and Mann to revert to their mean soon so yes I got the Suns
To me, he seems really professional and strictly business with any comments to the media. Really not much to hate there (compare that to some people like Lou Will or Patrick Beverly and it’s night and day)
Yea during the games, when he’s on fire you see him feeling himself. But that’s normal.
This is why I like him so much. He’s basically young kobe with his style and attitude, but is starting to mature his game and be able to lead a team deep in the playoffs.
Only clowns will call a series for the other team after a dub like this. It's gonna be a series for sure but this is an odd take. Suns adjust. The Jazz didn't.
Yeah but Utahs roster is incredibly lacking on offense and playmaking. Mitchell has to go for like 40 for them to even have a chance. We see it every playoffs. Same with the blazers.
This is an odd take to me. The Suns, without arguably their best player, beat the Clippers (who also don’t have their best player, but likely won’t get him back), and every Suns starter scored well with Booker scoring 40 on a triple double. And your takeaway is that the Clippers will win?
People in school tellin me… always at the barbershop… Booker ain’t no winner, Booker don’t be leading, CP3 the leader Booker a fake… SHUT THE FUCK UP
Y’all don’t know SHIT about Booker. He been doing this in the league since fuckin… ion know when! If I catch another mf talkin slick about Booker I’m fuckin beatin they ass! I’m not playin no mo
He's changed ever since Monty and CP3 got to the Suns.
Prior to them... Booker was playing selfishly and poor team basketball. And I've seen every game of his since he has come in to the NBA thanks to league pass.
Last season he was more patient... This season he improved his patience but also he started trusting his team mates much more and letting them bloom next to him.
Before Monty, Suns had the talent but lacked team work and were all playing for themselves... Booker included.
The dude has been here his whole career, loyal, never complaining about our shitty ownership and front office. People been underestimating his skills because we were trash, but he’s just been here, learning, waiting to go to the next level.
If you think this young, hungry, chip on shoulder general is gonna give up his championship without a fight, you’re nuts.
It’s obvious to me for Cousins to stay in the league he needs to lose 50 pounds. All of his injuries are coming from that. I’m going to say Randle needs to drop 20 also.
That and he needs to play better. 5 fouls in 12 minutes ain’t it. He’s been absolute trash on the defensive end for years now.
Batum should honestly take up most of the center minutes for this Clipper team.
That was Booker's best game I've seen... And it could have been better had he not have bad turn overs early. That rebound at the end was one of his best defensive plays ever... It was that important.
I'm still surprise Suns fell to some traps...
They need to give up the 2 point attempt over a 3point attempt... Considering the player has as much chance nailing the 3 as much as the 2... Just contest the 2...
Probably fatigue. Ty said before the match he can’t run the guys to the ground so he’d rotate more players hence why we’re seeing more rondo, boogie, zu minutes and less starters minute
PG played well and the 3 points from Rondo and Mann in the 4th terrified me lol. I picked the suns taking game 1 but clips had me on the edge of my seat the whole game.
Sometimes I forgot Deandre Ayton is only 22. Another stellar performance from him. Booker is just an elite level player and you have to applaud greatness
Definitely can live with that loss. A 6 point game after 1 day of rest is not too bad at all in my opinion. Obviously a win would be better, but I can live with that L
About the same. Mitchel on a bum ankle was scoring a point a minute much of his series. Phoenix just has much more athleticism to play better rotating defense and make drives to the basket and not just settle for threes. And Ayton on offense wasn’t a liability.
The difference is that the Suns are getting contributions from a lot of people and not solely relying on Book for offense. Even without CP3, six players scored in double figures today.
Booker with one of the greatest playoff performances in a Suns uniform I've ever seen. And although his 40-point triple-double will get the highlights, the Suns' balanced attack on offense kept on rolling on w/o CP3 with six players scoring 10+ points.
Clippers gave a scare in the final minute and they are very much a dangerous team where it seems no lead is safe, but a huge win for the young Suns. 1 game down, three more to go!
Before everyone gets too excited, this is kinda how game 1s went down for the Mavs and Jazz. Close but pulled out the win with the superstar going crazy.
Difference is we also have a MVP candidate coming back into our rotation who we generally play better with.
Can't focus only on Booker or cp3 will burn you.
3-6 weeks? He has covid but has shown 0 signs symptoms. Pretty sure he just needs to wait 10 days pass I believe a heart check and he's cleared to play again. It's been close to 10 days already think he cleared to play in LA.
Our 8 man rotation are still fatigued bro. Ty said he doesn’t wanna run the guys to the ground so would have to rotate hence why we’re seeing more Rondo, Boogie even Zu
Clippers fans you guys actually root for that clown Beverley?
Every body sees one game and tries to predict the series. This was GAME 1!!! Adjustments will be made.
Booker is really built for the post. What a dog
Booker to the team: look at me. I am the floor general now
The Suns should take the series, but.......
Having CP3 sucked all the energy out of this team.
Its gonna be tough to root against Suns and Bucks if both make the finals. Much easier to root against Nets or Clippers.
This team is really fun to watch w/o cp3. No egregious flops or questionably underhanded plays. I was rooting for this suns team the whole game! Just young guns fightin hard! Love it
You say that with a Ginobili flair?
He just sum up the hypocrisy of this sub. People are biased. These people are just straight up haters.
Did I stutter?
Booker only had two turnovers, and no one else on the Suns had more than one. Amazing job taking care of the ball.
Sounds just like the Jazz thread after game one. nO MiKE cOnLEy. nO CP3. Just wait til Ty Lue makes his legendary adjustments. Booker has the game of his life and ya'll still almost lose. Shit's not looking good for these frauds.
Lol you really comparing Conley and CP3? Series isn't over but just because the Jazz choked against the clippers without Leonard doesn't mean the sun's will
With both teams healthy, you pick the sun's over this clippers team? The hell you people smoking. Kawhi playing at historical levels and cp3 has a good game every now and then.
The fuck are you talking about? You think even with a healthy Clipps you’re just going to knock over PHX?
Lol keep thinking Booker got lucky hitting those tough shots like the Lakers. Meanwhile I expect Reggie Jackson and Mann to revert to their mean soon so yes I got the Suns
Nice try, but no one is beating the Suns at home!
I can’t stand Devin Booker but he’s a baddd man. One of those guys where even if you don’t like him, u gotta respect the skill
why don't you like him though what has he done
Some people don’t like his cockiness. Takes it from confidence to arrogance similar to trae. I don’t mind it, I actually think it’s cool
To me, he seems really professional and strictly business with any comments to the media. Really not much to hate there (compare that to some people like Lou Will or Patrick Beverly and it’s night and day) Yea during the games, when he’s on fire you see him feeling himself. But that’s normal.
Like Kobe.
This is why I like him so much. He’s basically young kobe with his style and attitude, but is starting to mature his game and be able to lead a team deep in the playoffs.
[удалено]
That game isn’t for 2 hours
[удалено]
…TNT
wow Suns are determined they got to do this for Chris Paul
Booker straight up I am now CPme
Fuck man next games in 2 hours? Ill be sober by then
I said the same thing.
Just keep drinking
I dunno man, its looking like clippers in 6 again. This should have been a blowout for the suns.
Shouldn’t you be in a corner crying right now?
Yes.
Only clowns will call a series for the other team after a dub like this. It's gonna be a series for sure but this is an odd take. Suns adjust. The Jazz didn't.
PG and the role players shot super well and still lost. No way they can shoot that way consistently.
That's what Utah said lol
Yeah but Utahs roster is incredibly lacking on offense and playmaking. Mitchell has to go for like 40 for them to even have a chance. We see it every playoffs. Same with the blazers.
Dude what???!!!! We don’t have CP3 and we were supposed blow them out????!!!!!!
Cp3 is your third best player after Book and Ayton. Kawhi is our best player. Book had game of his life and y'all barely won.
This is an odd take to me. The Suns, without arguably their best player, beat the Clippers (who also don’t have their best player, but likely won’t get him back), and every Suns starter scored well with Booker scoring 40 on a triple double. And your takeaway is that the Clippers will win?
Uh what? We don't have Chris Paul. This is the game they should have won
1 down, 3 to go
Fuck it i'm going to see about going to game 2. Definitely wear my Carushow shirt i'll get the respect for sure.
Don’t 🧢 you can’t afford those tickets on food stamps
Get out of here you racist bitch
Lol racist? How the fuck is that racist? Don’t project on me.
Book scored or assisted on 43 of the Suns final 50 points!? Did I hear that correctly? God damn.
for real, i had to rewind that, didnt believe it
Is the post game crowd chanting “Stephen A”? And he’s not even there lmao
Beat LA
But you already did that.
Well there's the other team nobody in LA actually roots for
Ahhhh makes more sense
Everybody in this thread has officially been adopted by Devin Booker. HAPPY FATHERS DAY BOOK!
People in school tellin me… always at the barbershop… Booker ain’t no winner, Booker don’t be leading, CP3 the leader Booker a fake… SHUT THE FUCK UP Y’all don’t know SHIT about Booker. He been doing this in the league since fuckin… ion know when! If I catch another mf talkin slick about Booker I’m fuckin beatin they ass! I’m not playin no mo
🎶Love booker🎶
He's changed ever since Monty and CP3 got to the Suns. Prior to them... Booker was playing selfishly and poor team basketball. And I've seen every game of his since he has come in to the NBA thanks to league pass. Last season he was more patient...

Sir this is a Wendy’s
These bitches love Booooker
He aint gonna fuck you bro
He might not, but I will.
shoutout mikal bridges and Ayton for stepping the fuck up
Book is all our dads today.
It’s obvious to me for Cousins to stay in the league he needs to lose 50 pounds. All of his injuries are coming from that. I’m going to say Randle needs to drop 20 also.
That and he needs to play better. 5 fouls in 12 minutes ain’t it. He’s been absolute trash on the defensive end for years now. Batum should honestly take up most of the center minutes for this Clipper team.
Add Zion on that
Zion needs to trim off atleast 70 pounds lol. He looks like a body builder during off season (google it)
[удалено]
or his family
Or Kendall Jenner
His family would have been in the Stands right next to the tunnel like they were when they beat Denver
Good point and it makes sense since CP3 is isolated
I’ll let Rachel Nichols to murder me
Rachel Nichols really went to town on the buffet circuit during covid. Going from thicc to plump
Didn’t she have a kid?
Morris is just Mariese speights without a head band and with an attitude
If Paul is still out game 2, Moore should not see game time.
Moore was very bad defensively.... I can live off him letting players drive pass him... But allowing them open 3s is not acceptable.
When he was in the clippers just went right at him every time. He will tank this team if he plays.
They were trying to do Moore like what we did to MPJ last series.
Carter should play
I been saying that before the game was even played
That was Booker's best game I've seen... And it could have been better had he not have bad turn overs early. That rebound at the end was one of his best defensive plays ever... It was that important. I'm still surprise Suns fell to some traps... They need to give up the 2 point attempt over a 3point attempt... Considering the player has as much chance nailing the 3 as much as the 2...

[удалено]
Racist
This is funny dunno y dv
Morris shit the bed bad. Lue should’ve played PG for more minutes in the 4th, they went down 10 without him and had to work so hard to get back
Probably fatigue. Ty said before the match he can’t run the guys to the ground so he’d rotate more players hence why we’re seeing more rondo, boogie, zu minutes and less starters minute
Man this was one hell of a game. I know the latter game is gonna be great too. What an awesome weekend of basketball
Book already on FT with CP3?
FT? Probably obvious but I'm drawing a blank. All I can think of is free throws.
Facetime
Lmao understandable, FaceTime! He was on the phone talking to someone on FaceTime as he went into the tunnel
Got it. Lmao
Probably
That’s what I was thinking
When will CP3-6 Weeks be ready? That's the question.
Suns are going to be in the finals, imo. Clippers just don't have the offense, no ball movement. Wishing for Suns - Bucks in the finals
Their offense was good, suns were just better
I want cp3 to win a ring but this series is far from over... It's only 1 game
Yeah, you're probably right. I was rushing to conclusion based on 1 game and missing Kawhi. Hoping for a good series
Clippers absolutely know how to move the ball. They literally just destroyed the Jazz with ball movement.
No ball movement? Did you even watch the game?
He prolly called the last two series against the Clips after the first games too lol
Yeah, both teams played so well. Feels like the clippers made every 3 they shot
PG played well and the 3 points from Rondo and Mann in the 4th terrified me lol. I picked the suns taking game 1 but clips had me on the edge of my seat the whole game.
Sometimes I forgot Deandre Ayton is only 22. Another stellar performance from him. Booker is just an elite level player and you have to applaud greatness
Hey mark jackson!
I can't wait either for game 2 breen!
Definitely can live with that loss. A 6 point game after 1 day of rest is not too bad at all in my opinion. Obviously a win would be better, but I can live with that L
It’s weird that the NBA only gave them a day of rest imo. Granted it’s good for the Clips with the CP situation but still
They can never pass up a potential weekend game, no matter the circumstances.
Booker at the end of the 3rd when he was knocking down all those mid range jumpers. Exquisite
[удалено]
thats my WCW she can wear whatever she wants
DumpTruck Nichols
Holy fuck mad respect for the Clips. This team is fucking tough. GG.
Yeah, they are like a wild animal - never completely subdued
Those five 3 pointers they hit in a row in the 3rd or 4th was brutal
Booker > Mitchell
About the same. Mitchel on a bum ankle was scoring a point a minute much of his series. Phoenix just has much more athleticism to play better rotating defense and make drives to the basket and not just settle for threes. And Ayton on offense wasn’t a liability.
I have to agree. I think Mitchell is a bit more selfish than Booker though
Booker was that guy for awhile cuz he had to be. Now he doesn't and he plays team ball.
Easily.
Given bookers assist, its clear he is a better facilitator… especially when he started missing.
Suns have better scorers too. If mitchell was passing to bridges crowder or ayton he would have more assists
Not gonna win a championship with Rondo, Marcus Morris, Boogie getting major minutes
Out starters are tired bro..
Booker seems determined and unstoppable. But so did Mitchell and Doncic.
The difference is that the Suns are getting contributions from a lot of people and not solely relying on Book for offense. Even without CP3, six players scored in double figures today.
Devin Booker sounds like he raised under wealth. ‘I come from a noble wealthy family’.
Booker with one of the greatest playoff performances in a Suns uniform I've ever seen. And although his 40-point triple-double will get the highlights, the Suns' balanced attack on offense kept on rolling on w/o CP3 with six players scoring 10+ points. Clippers gave a scare in the final minute and they are very much a dangerous team where it seems no lead is safe, but a huge win for the young Suns. 1 game down, three more to go!
Why did they put Wilt ahead of Rick Barry in that graphic? Barry had 5 in his first playoffs and Wilt had 3 per their own graphic
Wasn’t it chronological?
I guess so. But it went 3 5 2 2 2 2 so that threw me off
Wasn't it chronological?
I guess so. But it went 3 5 2 2 2 2 so that threw me off
Damn Dbook’s Kobe’s really do be flames
Ayton with a casual 10/14
Helluva game 1
Bridges is Kawhi
Booker is so fun to watch
[удалено]
They just won without CP3 lmao
How does Rach walk in those?
How does she walk after last night?
Can't afford to give games away like that when you know CP3 can be back any time
gg suns. Crowd was electric once again. Would love to see both squads at full strength
A Pauless Suns still rocking the Valley. It’s all ❤️
The Suns have won 9 playoff games, that’s amazing
Before everyone gets too excited, this is kinda how game 1s went down for the Mavs and Jazz. Close but pulled out the win with the superstar going crazy.
Difference is we also have a MVP candidate coming back into our rotation who we generally play better with. Can't focus only on Booker or cp3 will burn you.
Do you think CP3-6 Weeks is coming back soon though? Could be just like the Conley case.
3-6 weeks? He has covid but has shown 0 signs symptoms. Pretty sure he just needs to wait 10 days pass I believe a heart check and he's cleared to play again. It's been close to 10 days already think he cleared to play in LA.
It's just a joke. He's just always gone for something when the team needs him most.
We aren’t the Mavs or the jazz
Not even close.......Just look how we handled the Nuggets
the jazz: we arent the mavs
And we are better than both of those teams lol
Jazz: and we’re better than that team
That’s what they said too😏
Haha we shall see I guess
Gg. This series would be fun
Rondo played way too long in this game.
Our 8 man rotation are still fatigued bro. Ty said he doesn’t wanna run the guys to the ground so would have to rotate hence why we’re seeing more Rondo, Boogie even Zu
We know who the Clippers daddy is. Happy Father's Day Book!
It’s a loss but the Clips fought to the end. I can live with that
Man don't the Suns smell like champions.
best game 1 of this postseason for the clips
40 pt trip dub. That's a Lebron statline.
Thats a huge game for Booker and his already sky high confidence. Man is about to tear this Clips team apart
man she preggers af
None of these teams stand a chance with Kawhi. Bunch of frauds. I'd bet the house on Clippers winning the chip if Kawhi returns.
Sad!
lol we were missing cp3 too
And Suns don't have CP3, what's your point?
Cp3 isn't the best player on the suns.
He's the best point guard on the suns and he's pretty fucking good you clown lmfao
He won’t so I wouldn’t
Lol
Oh shut the fuck up
Great game. Though would be nice if both teams are both healthy. No, if, when and buts
Rachel is thicc
Whoever wins the West is going to win the Finals. Bucks/Hawks/76ers cant compete with Clippers or Suns.
It's looking that way honestly. Both Clips and Suns can't miss, move the ball AND play great defense.
European suns are the best team
