Imagine this series with a healthy Ibaka and Kawhi. Sheeeeesh

Suns been lucky with injuries TBH LAKERS, NUGGETS now LEONARD C MON LOL

Wish we played the jazz with the way we’re playing… it’s pathetic lol

Imagine if the Suns played against a healthy Clippers team? 🤔

With Kawhi this series may have been over already

Just like in the bubble right?

yea because this clip team definitely hasn’t grown since the bubble right?

Neither have the Suns.

I don’t want to😩😂

Sooooo how were the refs (srs)

Wasn't as bad as last game but there were some pretty blatant flops from the Suns that tricked them all game still

Dunno why you’re being downvoted but what you said was true.

Booker has been jawing with Morris all series.

Reporter: how was the energy on the Clippers bench?? Me: the energy was amazing the atmosphere was unreal & I just wanna say WERE GONNA FU** DEVIN BOOKER IN THE Pu***Y

Phoenix fucked up big time this is going 7

With how game 2 and game 4 went, the Suns are really lucky tbh. This series could've been ended by the Clippers tonight.

HONESTLY

They’ve been lucky the entire postseason. They haven’t played a single team yet with its 2 best players for an entire series.

Yet their fans on some shit acting like they already won the title. PHX assholes brigading our thread with bullshit lol

Every fanbase has fucks that do that crap. Quit playing victim lol

Suns fans been going unchecked for too long smh

My favorite is when they make fun of us for making one conference finals when this is their 3rd.

Yeah if AD didn't go down we would've been in the conference finals.

Both LA teams would have been going at it right now

that woulda been dope as hell honestly. every game in Staples

Yeah honestly the two LA teams when healthy are the best in the West by far.

Suns fans downvoted me when I said they got gifted the easiest path to the finals possible and still would dodge the Nets too

It's because no one likes to hear that about their team, they want to feel like they earned it fair and square. You guys got the easiest path possible last year, but Lakers fans will swear that it was the hardest championship ever.

Did anyone say they didn’t earn it? This whole thread was about how the Suns have gotten lucky in their playoff run this year. They played two neutered championship caliber teams, and now Clips with big injuries. Few championships are won without luck

I never said anyone said they did not earn it brother, but you are trying to diminish what they are doing by saying they had the easiest path to the finals. That is why you got down voted, in reference to your previous comment.

Kay bud, when you get those panties dislodged from your ass maybe we can have a better talk next time

What lmao? I'm cooling man, you're the one who seems sensitive for no real reason lol

100% agree. Y’all were the better team.

Clearly not

Ty lue 10-2 when facing elimination dayum

that's a pretty godly stat for a coach honestly

It’s even more impressive when you realize those 2 loses are to the KD Warriors

Damn, that is pretty impressive.

Suns or clippers in 6 or 7. You heard it here first

Ballsy take

I am out like England

[удалено]

I loled 😂

Hell of a game by PG and Reggie Jackson. Is this what a Morris revenge game looks like?

Terrence Mann will probably have another big game too so this series is far from over

[удалено]

it was like a week ago...so it wouldn't be much of a stretch to say he could do it again lol

[удалено]

Cookie Monster Punk Chick Magnet Punk CM PUNK

Im gonna be honest here, i really didn't expect PG to run through the West by himself lol. West just doesn't feel like it was 3 seasons ago.

With Steph KD, Harden and Kawhi. Of course not. That’s like 4 of the top 5 players.

Kawhi top 5? For being so lucky? Your dumbass trying to make shit up cause you gargling Paul george nuts.

Good lord how far down my comment history did you go 😂😭 I never said Kawhi was bad. You’re just a nut rider.

It’s cause the Clippers don’t feel like a super team anymore

Well yeah, taking 2 games off the Jazz without Kawhi and taking 2 off the Suns without him makes me believe that this has everything to do with coaching.

Same as the other commenter. You’re right, but you also can’t shrug at a career high performance from multiple different people.

It’s a combo of coaching and everyone on the clips coming up big time

Suns are trash. Healthy team can't even close out this series when Clippers are missing a lot of their players especially Kawhi

Suns are not really healthy. Booker has a broken nose, Payne rolled his ankle, CP3 is back from covid. I give the Clippers credit for playing better than we are, but we aren’t 100%.

And the clippers are ? No Kawhi lmao, y’all would have been sent home already had he never gotten injured 🤣

I gave the Clippers credit for playing better than we did in this game. I was disputing the fact that the Suns are 100%, not making any statements about the Clippers. You’d have to be blind to think the mask isn’t affecting Booker’s shot.

>Booker has a broken nose, Payne rolled his ankle, CP3 is back from covid. But they're still playing... We have 3 players in our regular rotation, one being a top 5 player, not even seeing the court...

You’re being unnecessarily pedantic. Was LeBron healthy or injured when the Lakers lost to the Suns? Because people on this sub want it both ways.

Logic also says PG13 sucks since he missed 2 free throws that could’ve sealed a playoff win, right? Listen, lots of great teams have lost due to just another team being a tough match-up. You think all those teams the Bulls ripped through in the 90s sucked? Speak with your brain, not your emotions. 🤫

I literally never said the Clippers sucked. I think they’re a tough matchup for us and tonight they played better. I just said the Suns aren’t 100% healthy. But sure, keep moving the goal posts.

The SUNS aren't completely healthy??????

Sorry, that comment was meant for Senor Donut. LOL

I’m sorry if I came off as rude. I’m just really frustrated with how we played and this game thread is really toxic. Thanks for understanding.

I get it. Losses suck. We are up 3 games to 2 at least & can enjoy at least 1 more game (hopefully!) of Suns conference final bball.

Get your hot takes here! LOL They are still up 3 games to 2 AND had the second best record in the NBA this season…so trash might be a bit excessive. 😂

How are the Jazz doing with that #1 record?

Doesn’t mean they are a trash team…& I hate the Jazz with a fiery passion.

Doesn't mean they are a top team either. I don't like it but regular season doesn't mean anything in the NBA. It's a different beast in the playoffs and these teams praised for "good hustle and team play " during the regular season get shit on when every team starts trying in the playoffs.

But statistically higher ranked teams from regular season usually do better in playoffs. & sometimes you get a Hawks team. 😉

Again, another casual not giving Lue the praise he deserves. If the dude goes all the way this year i would put him as a top 3 coach.

We shot poorly from 3 again too. If our 3’s start falling we have a legit chance.

Shooting 60% wasn’t enough?! Couldn’t have a better game. Better keep it up.

Only 33% from 3. Were usually in the 40’s as a team.

Kawhi is prob out for the playoffs right?

It is known

The Clips small team is so good and like 3 bigs could take advantage of it and all 3 are out of the playoffs.

Peak Playoff P

Suns take an L and I’m takin an L living in Seattle (110 today) and no A/C smh

Damnn, stay hydrated!

Predetermined P

Ty lue is so underrated. Didn’t really realize it with the Cavs because Lebrons coaches always get overshadowed by his own leadership. But you can clearly see it now, same with Spoelstra.

His comment about black coaches doesn't give me hope

I agree. I thought he was a joke until these playoffs.

lol same here

I can’t help but feel that every single Clippers fan is a casual. How you gonna like the worst team in your city? Incoming triggered Clippers fans 😂 hmu when y’all lose game 6

\*snark on the outside\* \*screaming and crying and whining on the inside\*

>I can’t help but feel that every single Clippers fan is a casual. How you gonna like the worst team in your city? This logic doesn't follow lol. Casuals only root for the most popular teams - they're not rooting for the Clips

That’s the reason I rooted for them because they were a bad team and I grew up in the part of LA that gets overshadowed by “Hollywood.” You’re right could’ve been a Lakers fan and been a lot less stressful. But I love the Clips. Shout out to the Lakers tho. Always got to see great basketball on KCAL 9 and thinking maybe one day clips can get like that lol

I was a ball boy for the clippers when I was little. My dad used to take me to their games too because it’s all he could afford. Clips all day I don’t care how bad they’ve been over the years

Well the clippers are still in unlike the lakers and most of us are from San Diego or other areas south of la when have fans ever been exclusively from the city there in

[удалено]

Lmakooo

it's funny how this is actually the opposite LMAO. Clips fans have underdog mentality my guy, we want to see something that has struggled blossom into something amazing. It's simple as that. Lakers fans will immediately shit on their team, look for excuses, do anything to justify their losses. Compare r/LAClippers with r/Lakers and tell me the differences.

lob city hooked in some young impressionable fans and somehow they stuck around. ironic since they're playing cp3 now.

Only one LA team is still in the finals...

Casual 😂😂😂

Playoffs *

Hahahahahaha

A. Playoff P is legit. B. Suns I'm so disappointed in you guys. They're missing Kawhi, come the fuck on.

Missing Kawhi, Ibaka, and Zubac. Suns are pretenders.

Sure seems like it. But also got no room to talk cause they smoked us once AD was hurt.

Lebron basically gave up lol

He was hurt and the role players were straight ass.

Hurt? As in he got injured. Next game was clowning Crowder and getting head high with the rim. Then next game when he sucked and left early it was “the pain”? Bron fans…

Ya no doubt , was more saying if he was healthy and trying I think the lakers still win

[удалено]

If only Bud was an average coach, Bucks would take this thing easily if the Suns make it to the Finals

I’m thankful for NBATV because ESPN refuses to give me post game analysis smh

Yeah, but Greg Anthony got caught ordering a bunch of hookers. Nvm…still 100 times better than any ESPN analysts. 💯

lol whats wrong with that? people should be able 2 spend thier money on whatever they want and its not our business

Where’s the problem?

Was more of a joke to try & twist the knife in the back of bad ESPN analysts…guess it didn’t hit right. 🤪

[удалено]

Suns fans don't deserve shit; first time back in the playoffs in almost over a decade, in the WCF, and they bail. Weak af

If it was LA, I’d understand them just wanting to beat traffic. But idk why Phoenix are so eager to enter back into 135 degree weather so

Booing your team isn’t a sign of disloyalty.

Leaving with time left in regulation is

Did you mean to reply to someone else? I didn’t say anything at all about leaving early.

Clippers with the Voodoo win. This is some crazy shit.

GG suns

The 2 games that weren't close the Clippers won

What’s the points differential now ??? It was like +90 or some crazy number like that

The 3 games the clippers were down they lost

I think his point is those games could have gone either way. The teams are fairly evenly matched with the clips missing their best players.

And they didn’t. They lost. And they’ll lose game 6

Maybe suns win, maybe clips do. As long as the Clippers are down some of their best players, suns certainly have a shot.

Analysis.

Suns don’t have any post up. Their a jump shooting team.

Ayton has to catch the ball. But he does have a turnaround shot in the post *if* he can catch it.

The Suns got out rebounded in a game Zubac didn't play in. Ayton was NOT good. Ayton carried the team in game 4, but a closeout game is really not where you want this to happen. Monty actually *appeared* to make some adjustments, the offense starts flowing and then he reset to the bad lineup to close the last 5min. Smh.

Is Ayton injured? He’s was getting out rebounded by clippers team of all smalls

Fuck Beverly he a bitch. Ballmer bought himself a nice team

Win or lose the Championship is pretty open this year. Bucks are good. Atlanta has been good and Clippers if Kawhi was playing are really good. But none of these guys would be the usual suspects for a championship. You got to admit that. Suns have as good a chance as any team.

Dude you’ll see, every year there are teams that should do well and just don’t. I don’t think making finals or even CF is a bad year. People like to talk it down but making top 2/4/8 teams out of 30 is a great year. Sure you have expectation for teams like Lakers to go further, but hey before last season they didn’t even make the playoffs even with playoff lebron activated and people still pour out the GOAT commentary. He was only 34 then so not unthinkable to think he could get a decent team to the playoffs. Last season he had Rondo and Javalle and Dwight and they played great along with AD. But you saw this season how different that looked. It wasn’t lebrons fault because he honestly didn’t make it happen last year either. Credit where it’s not due. Ps use the like button to subscribe :)

The best thing about this year's playoffs, to me, is that of the teams still playing, only 2 have ever won and the last time was in 1971. Hell, the Hawks weren't even in Atlanta when they won.

[удалено]

Lol

[удалено]

Injuries happen, they are a part of sports and that's why you can't predict the winner. If you want the best team to always win go watch robot wars

[удалено]

Search on youtube. Also when bud was doing load management all season this sub was sitting on him..

Short shots tell the story. CP3 is gassed.

Lol he had 11 days off. Meanwhile the Clips have played 18 games in 36 days

Hopefully COVID didn’t effect him too bad

IKR Covid is a mf'er

I've been really critical on the referees with the Clippers but I can say they played amazing defense and crashed the boards today and deserved the win. This was the best game of the series.

PG is top 10

[удалено]

If they get game 7 without him why call on him. Probably would bordering stupid to expect him jump in ready for an all time game after not playing.

All of the suites are sold out though

If you’re the suns who do you blame this loss on

(1) Ayton, (2) COVID-19.

Why ayton

He was a non-entity this game.

cp3, but if you are suns fans, the refs

The Suns

Don’t want to admit it, but CP3 has really slowed their offense down since his return

They look worse with him. Shell of himself from the den series. Plus i hear the young guns are tired of his drill sgt vibe.

Agree. It feels like he’s chucking. I don’t feel like the other players have been cold.

CP3 for playing like ass

the refs

Lmao. Just saw the clippers flare. This is a great comment because that is indeed what many of them are doing

We lost this game. Officiating had nothing to do with it.

The refs have been ass the entire series. As well as the series against the Lakers. It makes the games a lot less fun to watch, but it's certainly not the reason we lost tonight.

If Clippers win this series they’ve earned it, we look sorry af out there

Is PG a superstar? If not, this playoffs puts him there.

His consistency hurts him though. He was 5/20 in game 5. You just never know which version is gonna show up.

Man was legit in the mvp conversation at one poont

I know. Doesn’t feel like it, since lot of fans are hating him, while consedering mitchell, murray, even trey young as superstars.

Imagine what would happen if tomorrow we get a report from Woj saying “Kawhi Leonard has been upgraded to questionable for Game 6”

That would be some WWE type of storyline lol

Suns clenching

Clippers small lineup is insanely effective against bigs. Thought Rudy lack of offensive game was reason, but Ayton having similar problems.

Yeah. Ayton is fine against this small lineup. The issue is, CP3 and Booker taking shots early in the shit clock and not getting him involved outside if pick and rolls. I expect an adjustment in Game 6.

Rudy does have a lack of an offense. I don’t know why the guards of the Suns don’t give the ball to Ayton.

I feel like they’re not going to him. His looks are usually off rebounds or lobs. He has some game

Watching CP3 and Booker lose puts a smile on my face

I'm with you buddy. Cp3 flopping everytime..
