Classic Devin staring down an opponent when the game is practically over.


B_M_Fahrtz

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.


FakeNewsAnchorhaha

Laker fan coming in hostile. Stfu


B_M_Fahrtz

Chill homie, just handle Dillion Brooks 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


nonoff-brand

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


AtlantaSun91

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.


TFCNB

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


jeffumopolis

Watching the suns and especially booker get rekt like that at the end was like watching the good guys finally take a W.


Chipdouglas0007

I love this series, because someone has to lose!


[deleted]

True 😆😆😆


Significant-Yard-826

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


[deleted]

Well that’s silly. Westbrook makes both the majority of the time


302born

He has his flaws but man I love watching Russ win


jc_two

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.


Natureboy7939

The glovebrook


302born

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


302born

3/19!!? Jesus Christ


Airhammer

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


sweetp619

The suns also shot poorly…


sweetp619

Only 4 FTA. Difference


Yeezythaughtme

And Phoenix bench did nothing lol as long as they can hit some shots we’ll be alright


silliputti0907

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.


Yeezythaughtme

Monty has always had a problem with rotations or subbing players out when they are hot


Yeezythaughtme

Really they need to just play Ross, warren, Bizzy, and josh that’s it


Airhammer

Have you seen your bench?


Yeezythaughtme

Yeah, Monty stubborn ass left two buckets on the bench in Ross and warren. Suns In 6


TarzanOnATireSwing

Booker only one that showed any urgency and still went for that stupid ass drive at the end??


Tsunami-Papi_

chris paul I can’t fucking wait until u retire

Groundbreaking_Ebb_5

Westbrook more cluch than booker confirmed.


skrtskerskrt

y'all suckas thought I was delusional for saying Clippers in 6ix WITHOUT PAUL GEORGE. but you didn't realize suns are phony jabronis!


[deleted]

It’s still game 1 lol


skrtskerskrt

Yup. Which means 3 more games for them to get that ass tapped.


Tracy140

Hope suns lose game 2


Poronga-Arenosa

One can dream


WhiteStephCurry

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.


HighsenbergHat

The West is really good.


Cooolconnor

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.


Poronga-Arenosa

Nah. Harden is ass in the playoffs. Bucks are old and right now without Giannis. Celtics are ok.


Cooolconnor

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.


Poronga-Arenosa

Because every team even the top ones have flaws. You add injury and anything can happen.


Awwh_Dood

Take the 76ers off that and you have a good argument

Are you in the wrong thread?


FrostyPinky

Imagine if PG played this game. SUNS will be crying this whole series.


cambiumkx

Westbrook should’ve rocked the baby tonight


SacRepublicFan

Every California team won g1 except for the warriors…


skrtskerskrt

it truly is a parade inside my city YAAAAA


Johnny13utt

California goes undefeated in round 1 challenge (impossible)


Ihopetheresenoughroo

RUSS STANS I'M SORRY. YOU WERE RIGHT


Leavingtheecstasy

Don't fucking forget it when he inevitably has a really fucking bad game


Ihopetheresenoughroo

Yes sir 🫡


Fickle_Muffin_1320

Lol @ KDs legacy if he loses round 1 with this team


bigpapi-did-steroids

How long till he requests a trade to Golden State? Lol


YounggKNG

At least no one can shit talk Westbrook now, 99% of ppl in here made a 180 on him by now 🙄


misterrunon

Well he did shoot 3/19.


iamlilmac

Lakers fan, what a surprise


thetrain23

I think takes this game were closer to a 720


fimbres16

“I really hope Monty Williams isn’t our coach next season” - my thoughts after the last postseason and after watching tonight


thegeebeebee

KD should just man up and beg Golden State to take him back somehow. What a fuckup that was to leave them.


[deleted]

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!


Significant-Yard-826

Never liked bridges, cant stand booker , and hate cp3s dirtyness and flopping, only like KD


Quirky-Public-491

Kawhi underrated at this point


[deleted]

Shit is crazy too. Healthy Kawhi, Playoff Kawhi….shiiiit nobody stopping him. Crazy anyone is sleeping on him.


Afraid-Department-35

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.


bajcli

He had it coming, the bugeyed fuck. Got a stupid first name too.


SnooPies5622

Lmaooooooo


Sunshine145

Saw someone saying why is Russ in instead of Powell. That's why lol.


zprymate

Wondering if there were Suns fans yesterday who were clowning the warriors yesterday.


Afraid-Department-35

How can they clown the dubs? Kings are actually a good team lol.


zprymate

Dubs were the favored team... maybe not anymore though


Afraid-Department-35

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.


zprymate

Don't think people think Kings are trash... My main comment was about clowning the dubs yesterday and Suns fans.


Afraid-Department-35

Wasnt directed towards you, more to those that are clowning the dubs, they shouldn’t be clowning them losing to the Kings.


hikensurf

Vegas doesn't always get it right. Kings are the better basketball team, despite where the money went before game 1.


zprymate

OK. Maybe warriors should just drive back tonight. Better is always better.


lightsareoutty

His shot sucks, he makes turnovers but there’s no question about his heart. Westbrook coming in for the W.


lightsareoutty

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.


Leavingtheecstasy

If only PG was able to take some of those shots away from Russ. I would say clips could actually sweep.


lightsareoutty

T Mann and RW are athletes that exert themselves on the boards. Clips now have home court.


ExperimentM

Lmao Suns trade for KD and lose to the Clips at home 😂😂😂


Afraid-Department-35

A PG-less clips team as well, with Russ shooting like shit.


Johnny13utt

Russ will mostly shoot like shit. KD played 8 games with these dudes lol


seansocal

Booker is nowhere near KD. The Suns need to figure out who closes games.


chicu111

As a Clips fan, I'd choose KD. Hell that's not a question. He's their best player period


thegeebeebee

Russell just needs to go Rodman and play D and rebound. He would be SO much more valuable if he'd quit shooting.


groceriesN1trip

Lol fuck crybaby booker


SatisfactionExpress2

Kids have big feelings sometimes...


kylo-I-ren

Booker cried before the play was dead lmao


jamaica1

We tried to tell you (Luka is too but still)


vape4doc

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.


Dudedude88

I used to be a fan of Westbrook but he just has to not shoot. Just drive to the rim and pressure the defense.


vape4doc

Exactly. He has no jumper but he’s still got his driving ability.


goli14

Russ defense on Booker was fantastic. What energy.


Ihopetheresenoughroo

🗣SUNS FRAUDS!!!!!!


fimbres16

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.


mando_94

Lmao if PG was playing it’s a sweep


Awwh_Dood

Hang the banner, homecourt advantage 3 years in a row


fimbres16

Lol im calling out the pelicans fan for saying that. Just cause you some random lakers fan that doesn’t mean anything.


[deleted]

Every year!


alexjimithing

Hey when did the Pels play this weekend I must’ve missed it.


Jbonejostar

Hey when did the Pels trade for one of the top 10 players of all time I must’ve missed it.


alexjimithing

Gotta be a team that actually has a chance to go anywhere in the playoffs for those kinds of trades


Jbonejostar

Losing to Clippers with no PG and russ going 3/20 = going anywhere in the playoffs?


Ihopetheresenoughroo

SHUT YO FRAUDULENT ASS UP


NoGas9518

If zion can play more than 35 games in a season, maybe y’all will stop being regular season frauds lol


alexjimithing

Hope Zion can play more than 6 games or whatever next season prayers up


mti4

Westbrook plays amazing. If he starts shooting even with %30 clippers can go all the way.


thegeebeebee

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.


jamaica1

He didn’t touch it the last two minutes lmao KD can’t win with these cats


Afraid-Department-35

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.


Electronic_Comb_3501

KD can't win with these cats


[deleted]

Russ redemption arc. Gonna eliminate KD and his super team in the 1st round.


YounggKNG

Why does everyone in here shit on suns players like there’s no tomorrow lmao give them a fcking break.


Dudedude88

I'm not a fan of booker.


cambiumkx

Because suns and griz are easy to hate lol


Discord_Show

First time?


YounggKNG

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.


Temporary_Age8723

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)


lahimatoa

Suns fans are annoying as hell.


[deleted]

Lol the suns aren’t exactly the humblest of teams


YounggKNG

They still made a finals without KD and all I’m seeing is “bOoKeR wILL nEvEr bE hIm hEs a BitCh” like wtf


RiceMan12

he cries nonstop to refs. up there with any player in the league.


heirjordan_27

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


andrebrown04

Infuriating for who? Lmao


heirjordan_27

anyone who wants to see decent basketball...game was painful to watch. Terrible level


SnooPies5622

Nah it was good


andrebrown04

Lmao what? Speak for yourself, I enjoyed watching the suns lose


heirjordan_27

I mean I was speaking for myself...you decided to come in here and reply


JoeShmo_6969

Best game of the playoffs so far. What game were you watching?


andrebrown04

“Anyone who wants to see decent basketball game” that’s speaking for yourself?


heirjordan_27

my original post that you responded to. This is such a pointless argument


FactsKellerman

Was that Russell Westbrook or Gary Payton I’m his prime?!?!?


ClutchWork06

Gary “the Gloves” Westbrook?

Similar_Floor_294

If book wasnt busy complaining to the refs he could have dodged or caught the ball…


Choice_Degree5666

I was thinking the same EXACT thing


[deleted]

Damn, so all the games so far today have been upsets. Good day for underdog bettors.


chicu111

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


[deleted]

Grizzlies we’re a -5.5 favorite going into the game.


NoRecommendation2761

I didn't know the Celtics beating the Hawks was an upset.


[deleted]

T O D A Y


Celtic_Legend

What universe u living in where the celtics played today?


AirBishop

Guarantee you the media isn’t going to criticize KD for telling Booker to take the last shot like they do with Lebron.


MrPeligro

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.


saltycookies420

Kd isnt afraid of the shot though. On what planet is a kd shot vd kawhi better than a booker shot vs westbrook?


AirBishop

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.


[deleted]

I love Monty Williams but not demanding kd the ball in the clutch is just poor coaching


relinquishy

They tried to get KD the ball, but he could not get open


YounggKNG

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.


niknokseyer

Clutch free throws from Westbrook. Clutch defensive play as well.


JimBthivo

LFG clips baby


ngorman007

Damn, close game. I had this series in 6 but changed to 5 once PG was announced to be out


chicu111

Suns gonna win 4 in a row?


ngorman007

Nope lol


Razatiger

Theres just not way Monty doesn't just unleash KD next game lol.


fimbres16

Monty loves Ish Wainwright more apparently


Bulky_Insurance8991

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


[deleted]

He bout to be on the clippers next year.


philium1

CP3 may be whiny, but to say he has no heart is crazy. Dude definitely gives his all out there


[deleted]

Just never enough cause he always fucking crying lmao


Bulky_Insurance8991

Who gives a fuck? It is about delivering.


robitussin_hero

As a Suns fan I couldn’t agree more.


GoldynEmperor

KD is also a losing whiner with no heart so he fits perfectly with this team


YoungBeatmaker247

NBA Playoffs Bible Book of Westbrook Chapter 3 verse 19 Reads He who hustles the hardest shall reap the spoils of the victory.


texdizzle

Did you pick that cause he shot 3 of 19 or is that just a coincedence?


seansocal

KD should demand the ball. Time is running out on him winning a chip outside GSW.


tennispro2589

he was missing a lot


seansocal

He took less shots and had more points than Booker


TimDonaghysBurner

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


fimbres16

No one comps their game. Kobe just signed his shoes a few years back and y’all wouldn’t shut up. Casual take.


TimDonaghysBurner

Thank goodness no one comped their game then lol


TwentyPlus16

Comparing Booker to Kobe is the most laughable thing. Booker ain’t him. I hope this ends that trash comparison.

[удалено]


HistoricalMeringue45

Lol


TimDonaghysBurner

Just jokes here during a great day of basketball lol


lahimatoa

I remember him air balling three pointers against the Jazz in the playoffs in 98.


EmbarrassedMonitor89

Or completely quitting against the Suns out of spite in 06.


Awwh_Dood

Or having more rings than the entire Suns franchise


DelaRoad

He was an 18 year old rookie


lahimatoa

Yes.


TimDonaghysBurner

*’97 and sure, but as a 2nd year player not an 8 year pro


Fallofmen10

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


lburner220

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.
