PHOENIX SUNS IS PLAYING WITH FIRE
I have to congratulate the Clippers for enduring this game with a win at the end. Tye lue was busy on the sideline dictating how the play should go. Back against the wall Clippers found a way to win on the road. I thought it was over but not today. Where is Kahwi Lenard? I guess they do not need him and still winning game efficiently. Tye Lue is moving up in the echelon of being a great coach. Do you recall him coaching LBJ and win a Championship? I can see why he was so picky about his job search and value he can bring to a team.
Clippers can go all the way
Four guys was causing the damage for Clippers. Three of them are well known for the past couple series. Demarcus cousins scoring 15 points. Hum there was a survival mode style Clippers was playing last night. Morris Sr. with 22. He has been cooking for a while so I am shocked he still having the luxury shooting three's that easy. Reggie Jackson is not quiet at all. He can create and help scoring basket. With Beverly playing silly, he even scored 7 points to the mix.
Clippers did not lose tonight cause of how resilient they play.
Adding to PG13 scoring in all motion in the second half. Down 3-1 this is exquisite basket from the whole team especially Paul George showing us he knows how to play ball. No KL,no Zubac, no problem. Many teams will fold their tails and go fishing. Clippers are a team with depth from guys you have no clue will show up any giving night. Clippers won three quarters out of four, they had to win by this ability to stay alive after three series falling back 0-2. Somebody, say something otherwise Phoenix is about to catch fire.
PHOENIX CAN SMELL IT NOW
Now I know a little bit how Phoenix feel for not closing Clippers last night. It is not easy to do so unless you smell defeat at home. Booker did his thing tonight with 31 points. At least he shoed up. CP3 only 22 is not enough to send Clippers packing. Where is Jae Crowder when they need him the most? Playing 27 minutes for only 4 points. This ain't cut it at all. This is the time key players shine to bring the trophy home.
Like they say if you do not want it, they will take it. The series is back in L.A. where Phoenix seems to play a lot better. Clippers with a fighting spirit will not play smooth. Injuries change the complexity of the game. Booker needs another 48 points night for a win. I was watching the game and the shots were way short for Booker and CP3. You can feel the emotion flowing the wrong way. Desperation mix with a loss in the making.
Game 6 for both team will be a final. Paul George and RJ will do their damage. I expect Ayton to be involved early to calibrate his ratio of defense/offense. Crowder can shoot three's so he needs to step up.
Clippers have all the right to push for game 7. It will come to the idea who want it more?
In the meantime be ready for Bucks vs Hawks later.
The Clippers are somehow never out of things. I've seen them go down 0-2 in almost every series they play and somehow find themselves in a game 7. Let's see what happens with game 6, but I wouldn't be surprised to see this one go the distance
It is getting repetitive to see them crawling back from nowhere.
Phoenix has two more go before we can say it is over.
