I mean if you are Phoenix, you cannot afford for the Clippers to go down 0-2. That would be a death sentence. This is basically a must lose game.
I thought NBA eased covid restrictions if you were vaccinated? that really sucks for cp3 as this will definitely be his best chance to get to the finals especially since kawhi is out also.
Or count the Suns out. They're good. Devin Booker is drawing comparisons to Kobe which are not as ridiculous as Ayton drawing a comparison to Hakeem, but just shows how hot those 2 are. Clippers need Kawhi. Hoping he comes back, but he won't risk his health.
Can Paul George carry his own team? He's been hot. But Booker is hotter. Both guys could cool off in any given game. The role players will make a difference eventually.
no one is counting the suns out but the clippers still have plenty of firepower without kawhi and ty lue is shown to be a master of adjustments. down 2-0 going on the road ? no problem. win 4 of 5. down 2-0 to number 1 seed ? no problem. win 4 straight even without our best player. PHX beat an injured lakers and nuggets team. im not hating because i want them to win it all, but they do anything except win game 1 on their home floor to act like the clippers are done.
I'm no coach, but maybe I put in Kaminsky to see if he can check Cousins. Saric is constantly getting overpowered. EDIT: Well, if Cousins goes out because of foul trouble...lol.
