Hopefully kawhi is enjoiyng watching his 3rd ring slip away

[R. DeMurre]

What a horrendous shooting game for both teams... Clippers 32.5% from field & 16.1% from three, and Phoenix 36% from the field & 20% from three.

Monty Williams would have won us Game 6 against Miami.

Monty vs mini pop for the

I can imagine Pop's head was about to explode watching the Suns foul them up 3 every time. such an anti Pop move.

i get pops old school mentality of i believe in our defense , but fck that dont give them a chance to tie

PG13 however does successfully miss the 2nd , Saric called for foul trying to box out Cousins.

Of course Cousins doesn't know the rule and doesn't come even close to hitting rim on 2nd attempt.

Suns 81-79 with 3.9 sec

Cousins is such a dumbass. How do you play basketball your entire life and not know that you have to hit rim on a free-throw?

He belongs on that team of blowhards in Los Angeles.

Cousins is such a joke. I'll never get tired of that time Timmy clowned him hard.

That Kentucky education.

I am just stunned Suns are going to the finals. Obviously it's not fluke.

They faced a very hurt Lakers team and a very hurt Clippers team.

And they haven't made it yet.

And Denver without Murray.

[Dejounte]

Could the Clippers come back from 3-1?

the Finals this year won’t have any true villains and I like it

Hopefully fatigue sets in for them the rest of this series. Suns have to go all out in Game 5 cause I still see this being a 7 game series.

Clippers still have a lot of unlikable s tbh.

Nope.clippers are done

[GreekSpursfan]

A lot of garbage bball is being played in these playoffs, being saying it, it's unwatchable at times from all four teams remaining.

I think it's been pretty entertaining tbh, but yeah...I can't remember the last time I saw a final score of 84-80. That's like late 90s basketball right there.

[HankChinaski]

Spurs vs Pistons finals an playoffs that year.

[R. DeMurre]

It seemed like Paul George didn't know the inbounds pass rule at the end of game 3 and Cousins didn't know that missed free throws have to hit the rim in game 4...

[ginobilized]

Ayton is having an amazing series. He reminds me in some ways of another big man from the islands.
Plays hard, smart and does what it takes to win. Suns/Bucks would be an interesting series. Could go 7 games.
If Booker recovers his touch and poise, I'd give the edge to the Suns.

No the Clips are done and yes it will be fun not hating either team.

Yeah I was thinking the same 'up 3... foul'em!!'

[DC23]

They faced a very hurt Lakers team and a very hurt Clippers team.

And they haven't made it yet.

I'm so tired of reading comments like this. Injuries are part of the game.

Let's look at 2018.

Warriors beat the Spurs w/o Kawhi
Warriors beat the Pelicans w/o Cousins; faced AD, Jrue Holiday, a "nice" Rondo and 7 "average" NBA players
Warriors beat the Rockets w/o CP3
Warriors sweep Cavs w/o Kyrie

You could make the argument the Warriors faced an easy pathway in 2018.

[R. DeMurre]

CP3 is a great player, but I'd call him unlikeable... biggest flopper in the NBA by far, reportedly a difficult teammate, and we still don't know the details of why he and no other PHX player was put into covid protocol.

I still say it should’ve been coached or told that if you don’t get the rebound you foul the outta the guy who did get the rebound. My beef is that Bosh was able to pass the ball. Foul the outta him!
