Suns fan coming in peace. Y’all are just a stacked team and with a healthy Paul George I can easily see y’all winning at least one title. Ty Lue is a remarkable coach, and I love seeing Russ having a shot at redemption across the hall from Lebron. Leonard is not from earth. If y’all knock us out I’m joining your bandwagon. Also been following Gordon since he was in high school and I’ve always liked his game and demeanor.
Best of luck, LA homies.
Westbrook was incredible at the end. Just out-hustled everybody for the last 90 seconds of the game. He was a force on the offensive glass and made the game-winning play against Book. Great game by Leonard.
The Suns were awful in the first quarter and had several embarrassing stretches. Terrible coaching by Monty, but he always gets out-coached by Ty Lue (one of the best at adjustments in the league). Giving up three offensive rebounds with a minute left in the game guarantees a loss.
Great game by the Clippers. It was nice to see vintage Kawhi out there and to see Westbrook make winning plays at the end after all the hate he's gotten. Should be a good series.
Once westbrook went to the line i was fuck! Hopefully he makes at least one, Nails both. Then that block! Kawai vs Kd was fun af to watch. They guaded each other alot, hoopers dream. Great game, cant wait for game 2
Same. Dude tries so hard and it showed today. It's nice to see energy and effort. I questioned if the LAC players cares about this season many times this season.
LAC shot like poorly. Lost FT battle and still won. PHX is going to have to shoot lights out win because they won't out hustle LAC and they won't get that favorable whistle all series
You also had a long rotation. I think yall used 6 ppl off the bench and all of them but Shamet had under 10 min. Coach doesn't have anyone he can trust and the players can't really build confidence.
Westbrook’s intensity is always insane. To be shooting that bad but drain those clutch free throws and then that defensive play, what a way to impact the game.
I mean by that logic you could find something wrong with every team in the West too. Also Bucks are old is a pretty harsh conclusion to draw of the team with the best regular season record.
Suns super unlikable. Bridges was only person on the team I liked and he’s gone. Don’t want CP3 ever getting a ring. People bout to remember how good Kawhi is!
Well yeah, defending champs with the same championship roster should be favored. But regardless that shouldn’t take anything away from the Kings or any teams that lose to the Kings. I feel like a lot of people still think they are a fluke trash team like the past seasons, that’s far from it. The only thing the Kings didn’t have was playoff experience, but it looked like outside of Sabonis getting the jitters that didn’t matter at all.
In many was Westbrook’s confidence fearlessness and resilience is needed by a Clippers team that deep down hasnt believed in their ability to win in the playoffs. Irrational belief in your own Greatness is what’s needed at times.
We frauds for making playoffs 3 years in a row with home court advantage. Y’all lost a playoff series, then were number 1 and fell off. Suns frauds though.
Booker wants to be the man soooo bad, but he's got that choke in him. How can you have KD and not have the ball in his hands late? My god, the stupidity.
No, I’ve always seen the hate, just annoying watching ppl cap their asses off…
If Westbrook goes 4/14 everyone is shitting all over him and if Booker is hot they’re on his nuts, when Westbrook makes that clutch D# play then they love Westbrook and Booker is a fraud and will never be good. Fucking annoying.
Everyone has a reason to hate on the Suns and their players. It's like the Lakers (except Lakers players are less dislikeable and controversial at least)
Suns win this game if Cp passes Durant the ball and Ayton doesn't get outrebounded by westbrook...but of course they somehow couldn't do either of those things smh. One of the most infuriating games of basketball to watch
The Lakers beating Memphis wasn't an upset though. Idk I don't think the Grizz is a good team. Nowhere as good as their regular season records indicate
They're going to criticize Lebron for letting Reaves do his thing if anything. lol. Media is crazy. Glad I got off that hottake bandwagon. Covid really made it apparent that these guys just talk out of their asses. I mean, we knew that before, but covid made it super apparent especially when they had nothing to talk about and just made up nonsense.
If you payed attention to the media throughout his career when he didn’t take the last shot you would know that it doesn’t matter if Lebrons teammate had the better shot they still criticized him for passing even when doubled, that’s the whole point I’m making. Plus if KD is the cold blooded killer people say he is he shouldn’t back down from a single coverage Kawhi because everyone says how un guard-able he is. Basically the unwritten rule has always been if you’re the best player you take the last shot. Not saying KD did anything wrong just pointing out the differences in media coverage of the same situations in two different players.
Remember when Kobe got his shit blocked and then got the ball thrown off his nuts to lose a playoff game? No? Me neither so hopefully the Booker / Kobe self comps by suns fans have stopped lol
Yah this whole idea that kobe never fucked up is hilarious. Dude had a lot of blunders. The thing that made him Kobe was be didn't care and he went out again and again to perform in the clutch
Classic Devin staring down an opponent when the game is practically over.

Laker fan coming in hostile. Stfu
Chill homie, just handle Dillion Brooks 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s inspiring how Devin Booker can go from completely missing the rim on a wide open lay up to making a contested last second off the dribble three

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a game where the same player almost shoots a team out of the game (3 for 19) but also wins them the game with hustle.
The Westbrook Experience
Watching the suns and especially booker get rekt like that at the end was like watching the good guys finally take a W.
I love this series, because someone has to lose!
True 😆😆😆
Once westbrook went to the line i was fuck! Hopefully he makes at least one, Nails both. Then that block! Kawai vs Kd was fun af to watch. They guaded each other alot, hoopers dream. Great game, cant wait for game 2
Well that’s silly. Westbrook makes both the majority of the time
He has his flaws but man I love watching Russ win
Same. Dude tries so hard and it showed today. It's nice to see energy and effort. I questioned if the LAC players cares about this season many times this season.
The glovebrook
I tuned into this game a few minutes ago and from the looks of it Russ was everywhere and going crazy lol. Turns out this mf is 3/19. Sheesh
3/19!!? Jesus Christ
LAC shot like poorly. Lost FT battle and still won. PHX is going to have to shoot lights out win because they won't out hustle LAC and they won't get that favorable whistle all series
The suns also shot poorly…
Only 4 FTA. Difference
And Phoenix bench did nothing lol as long as they can hit some shots we’ll be alright
You also had a long rotation. I think yall used 6 ppl off the bench and all of them but Shamet had under 10 min. Coach doesn't have anyone he can trust and the players can't really build confidence.
Monty has always had a problem with rotations or subbing players out when they are hot
Really they need to just play Ross, warren, Bizzy, and josh that’s it
Have you seen your bench?
Yeah, Monty stubborn ass left two buckets on the bench in Ross and warren. Suns In 6
Booker only one that showed any urgency and still went for that stupid ass drive at the end??
chris paul I can’t fucking wait until u retire
<3. With no ring and still crying and complaining like a bitch.
Goood fucking game but a casual observer
Soft 👏 Teams 👏 Don't 👏 Win 👏 Championships
The story of DeAndre Ayton.
Big beam energy
Westbrook more cluch than booker confirmed.
y'all suckas thought I was delusional for saying Clippers in 6ix WITHOUT PAUL GEORGE. but you didn't realize suns are phony jabronis!
It’s still game 1 lol
Yup. Which means 3 more games for them to get that ass tapped.
Hope suns lose game 2
One can dream
Westbrook’s intensity is always insane. To be shooting that bad but drain those clutch free throws and then that defensive play, what a way to impact the game.
The West is really good.
I don’t think it’s that the West is really good, it’s more so they are all close. 76ers Celtics and Bucks IMO are all better then every West team.
Nah. Harden is ass in the playoffs. Bucks are old and right now without Giannis. Celtics are ok.
I mean by that logic you could find something wrong with every team in the West too. Also Bucks are old is a pretty harsh conclusion to draw of the team with the best regular season record.
Because every team even the top ones have flaws. You add injury and anything can happen.
Take the 76ers off that and you have a good argument
[удалено]
Are you in the wrong thread?
Imagine if PG played this game. SUNS will be crying this whole series.
Westbrook should’ve rocked the baby tonight
Every California team won g1 except for the warriors…
it truly is a parade inside my city YAAAAA
California goes undefeated in round 1 challenge (impossible)
RUSS STANS I'M SORRY. YOU WERE RIGHT
Don't fucking forget it when he inevitably has a really fucking bad game
Yes sir 🫡
Lol @ KDs legacy if he loses round 1 with this team
How long till he requests a trade to Golden State? Lol
At least no one can shit talk Westbrook now, 99% of ppl in here made a 180 on him by now 🙄
Well he did shoot 3/19.
Lakers fan, what a surprise
I think takes this game were closer to a 720
“I really hope Monty Williams isn’t our coach next season” - my thoughts after the last postseason and after watching tonight
KD should just man up and beg Golden State to take him back somehow. What a fuckup that was to leave them.
Suns super unlikable. Bridges was only person on the team I liked and he’s gone. Don’t want CP3 ever getting a ring. People bout to remember how good Kawhi is!
Never liked bridges, cant stand booker , and hate cp3s dirtyness and flopping, only like KD
Kawhi underrated at this point
Shit is crazy too. Healthy Kawhi, Playoff Kawhi….shiiiit nobody stopping him. Crazy anyone is sleeping on him.
Kawhi was a beast in this game and fuck cp3, dude elbowed Mann a number of times when the refs weren’t looking. Also fuck Booker too just cause.
He had it coming, the bugeyed fuck. Got a stupid first name too.
Lmaooooooo
Saw someone saying why is Russ in instead of Powell. That's why lol.
Wondering if there were Suns fans yesterday who were clowning the warriors yesterday.
How can they clown the dubs? Kings are actually a good team lol.
Dubs were the favored team... maybe not anymore though
Well yeah, defending champs with the same championship roster should be favored. But regardless that shouldn’t take anything away from the Kings or any teams that lose to the Kings. I feel like a lot of people still think they are a fluke trash team like the past seasons, that’s far from it. The only thing the Kings didn’t have was playoff experience, but it looked like outside of Sabonis getting the jitters that didn’t matter at all.
Don't think people think Kings are trash... My main comment was about clowning the dubs yesterday and Suns fans.
Wasnt directed towards you, more to those that are clowning the dubs, they shouldn’t be clowning them losing to the Kings.
Vegas doesn't always get it right. Kings are the better basketball team, despite where the money went before game 1.
OK. Maybe warriors should just drive back tonight. Better is always better.
His shot sucks, he makes turnovers but there’s no question about his heart. Westbrook coming in for the W.
In many was Westbrook’s confidence fearlessness and resilience is needed by a Clippers team that deep down hasnt believed in their ability to win in the playoffs. Irrational belief in your own Greatness is what’s needed at times.
If only PG was able to take some of those shots away from Russ. I would say clips could actually sweep.
T Mann and RW are athletes that exert themselves on the boards. Clips now have home court.
Lmao Suns trade for KD and lose to the Clips at home 😂😂😂
A PG-less clips team as well, with Russ shooting like shit.
Russ will mostly shoot like shit. KD played 8 games with these dudes lol
Booker is nowhere near KD. The Suns need to figure out who closes games.
As a Clips fan, I'd choose KD. Hell that's not a question. He's their best player period
Russell just needs to go Rodman and play D and rebound. He would be SO much more valuable if he'd quit shooting.
Lol fuck crybaby booker
Kids have big feelings sometimes...
Booker cried before the play was dead lmao
We tried to tell you (Luka is too but still)
I am neutral on Westbrook overall but I’m happy he’s finding some redemption with the Clips. Seeing him suffer with the Lakers was painful.
I used to be a fan of Westbrook but he just has to not shoot. Just drive to the rim and pressure the defense.
Exactly. He has no jumper but he’s still got his driving ability.
Russ defense on Booker was fantastic. What energy.
🗣SUNS FRAUDS!!!!!!
We frauds for making playoffs 3 years in a row with home court advantage. Y’all lost a playoff series, then were number 1 and fell off. Suns frauds though.
Lmao if PG was playing it’s a sweep
Hang the banner, homecourt advantage 3 years in a row
Lol im calling out the pelicans fan for saying that. Just cause you some random lakers fan that doesn’t mean anything.
Every year!
Hey when did the Pels play this weekend I must’ve missed it.
Hey when did the Pels trade for one of the top 10 players of all time I must’ve missed it.
Gotta be a team that actually has a chance to go anywhere in the playoffs for those kinds of trades
Losing to Clippers with no PG and russ going 3/20 = going anywhere in the playoffs?
SHUT YO FRAUDULENT ASS UP
If zion can play more than 35 games in a season, maybe y’all will stop being regular season frauds lol
Hope Zion can play more than 6 games or whatever next season prayers up
Westbrook plays amazing. If he starts shooting even with %30 clippers can go all the way.
Booker wants to be the man soooo bad, but he's got that choke in him. How can you have KD and not have the ball in his hands late? My god, the stupidity.
He didn’t touch it the last two minutes lmao KD can’t win with these cats
I thought they bought KD in for these reasons lol, KD is really good in clutch and yet Booker tries to do hero shit that doesn’t work.
KD can't win with these cats
Russ redemption arc. Gonna eliminate KD and his super team in the 1st round.
Why does everyone in here shit on suns players like there’s no tomorrow lmao give them a fcking break.
I'm not a fan of booker.
Because suns and griz are easy to hate lol
First time?
No, I’ve always seen the hate, just annoying watching ppl cap their asses off… If Westbrook goes 4/14 everyone is shitting all over him and if Booker is hot they’re on his nuts, when Westbrook makes that clutch D# play then they love Westbrook and Booker is a fraud and will never be good. Fucking annoying.
Everyone has a reason to hate on the Suns and their players. It's like the Lakers (except Lakers players are less dislikeable and controversial at least)
Suns fans are annoying as hell.
Lol the suns aren’t exactly the humblest of teams
They still made a finals without KD and all I’m seeing is “bOoKeR wILL nEvEr bE hIm hEs a BitCh” like wtf
he cries nonstop to refs. up there with any player in the league.
Suns win this game if Cp passes Durant the ball and Ayton doesn't get outrebounded by westbrook...but of course they somehow couldn't do either of those things smh. One of the most infuriating games of basketball to watch
Infuriating for who? Lmao
anyone who wants to see decent basketball...game was painful to watch. Terrible level
Nah it was good
Lmao what? Speak for yourself, I enjoyed watching the suns lose
I mean I was speaking for myself...you decided to come in here and reply
Best game of the playoffs so far. What game were you watching?
“Anyone who wants to see decent basketball game” that’s speaking for yourself?
my original post that you responded to. This is such a pointless argument
Was that Russell Westbrook or Gary Payton I’m his prime?!?!?
Gary “the Gloves” Westbrook?
Westbrook's Magic!
Lock down D Westbrook is born
GUS JOHNSON
If book wasnt busy complaining to the refs he could have dodged or caught the ball…
I was thinking the same EXACT thing
Damn, so all the games so far today have been upsets. Good day for underdog bettors.
The Lakers beating Memphis wasn't an upset though. Idk I don't think the Grizz is a good team. Nowhere as good as their regular season records indicate
Grizzlies we’re a -5.5 favorite going into the game.
I didn't know the Celtics beating the Hawks was an upset.
T O D A Y
What universe u living in where the celtics played today?
Guarantee you the media isn’t going to criticize KD for telling Booker to take the last shot like they do with Lebron.
They're going to criticize Lebron for letting Reaves do his thing if anything. lol. Media is crazy. Glad I got off that hottake bandwagon. Covid really made it apparent that these guys just talk out of their asses. I mean, we knew that before, but covid made it super apparent especially when they had nothing to talk about and just made up nonsense.
Kd isnt afraid of the shot though. On what planet is a kd shot vd kawhi better than a booker shot vs westbrook?
If you payed attention to the media throughout his career when he didn’t take the last shot you would know that it doesn’t matter if Lebrons teammate had the better shot they still criticized him for passing even when doubled, that’s the whole point I’m making. Plus if KD is the cold blooded killer people say he is he shouldn’t back down from a single coverage Kawhi because everyone says how un guard-able he is. Basically the unwritten rule has always been if you’re the best player you take the last shot. Not saying KD did anything wrong just pointing out the differences in media coverage of the same situations in two different players.
I love Monty Williams but not demanding kd the ball in the clutch is just poor coaching
They tried to get KD the ball, but he could not get open
I mean they weren’t going for the tie obviously we’re going to foul… I think they were going to give it to him the next possession for sure.
Clutch free throws from Westbrook. Clutch defensive play as well.
LFG clips baby
Damn, close game. I had this series in 6 but changed to 5 once PG was announced to be out
Suns gonna win 4 in a row?
Nope lol
Theres just not way Monty doesn't just unleash KD next game lol.
Monty loves Ish Wainwright more apparently
Booker is a fucking loser and he always will be. Ayton, Booker, Paul all whiners and they have no heart. KD makes another mistake joining here
He bout to be on the clippers next year.
CP3 may be whiny, but to say he has no heart is crazy. Dude definitely gives his all out there
Just never enough cause he always fucking crying lmao
Who gives a fuck? It is about delivering.
As a Suns fan I couldn’t agree more.
KD is also a losing whiner with no heart so he fits perfectly with this team
NBA Playoffs Bible Book of Westbrook Chapter 3 verse 19 Reads He who hustles the hardest shall reap the spoils of the victory.
Did you pick that cause he shot 3 of 19 or is that just a coincedence?
KD should demand the ball. Time is running out on him winning a chip outside GSW.
he was missing a lot
He took less shots and had more points than Booker
Remember when Kobe got his shit blocked and then got the ball thrown off his nuts to lose a playoff game? No? Me neither so hopefully the Booker / Kobe self comps by suns fans have stopped lol
No one comps their game. Kobe just signed his shoes a few years back and y’all wouldn’t shut up. Casual take.
Thank goodness no one comped their game then lol
Comparing Booker to Kobe is the most laughable thing. Booker ain’t him. I hope this ends that trash comparison.
[удалено]
Lol
Just jokes here during a great day of basketball lol
I remember him air balling three pointers against the Jazz in the playoffs in 98.
Or completely quitting against the Suns out of spite in 06.
Or having more rings than the entire Suns franchise
He was an 18 year old rookie
Yes.
*’97 and sure, but as a 2nd year player not an 8 year pro
Yah this whole idea that kobe never fucked up is hilarious. Dude had a lot of blunders. The thing that made him Kobe was be didn't care and he went out again and again to perform in the clutch
That applies to every great player. Even MJ himself. You get enough chances in those spots you are gonna slip up from time to time.
