    Chris Paul with a couple of horrid offensive plays there right when Phoenix were taking all the momentum.

    Just on the last few possessions, Jackson was switched onto Ayton, and instead of trying to get the ball to Ayton, CP3 and Booker decide to take it themselves. They need to exploit that mismatch.

    Like JVG said, Suns with Cam Payne plays with a faster pace that generates more easy baskets.

    CP3 and Booker really the players of the game for the Clippers down the stretch here.

    They are playing pathetic hog-ball.

    Imagine CP3 and Booker getting outplayed by Reggie Jackson.

    If that was Trae there he would've gotten Ayton more involved.

    There is something very Derek Fisher about Reggie Jackson. He seems like a very slimey dude.

    Looks like the Clippers have already "Download Completed" the Suns.

    It feels that way. It would not shock me if the clips win game 4 and 5.

    Clippers FO was not hiding the fact that they were shopping Pat Bev this year. Not too many offers, but tonight he's upping his value.

    Bev needs all of Rondo's minutes this series. Booker is young enough to let Bev get in his head.

    Suns might have had the easiest conference finals run of all time

    Suns got greedy.

    They made the classic mistake of winning games 1 and 2 against the Clippers.

    Man, the Clippers adjustments are a real thing.

    Maybe I was wrong about Lue being another Lebron coattail rider.

    I didn't know if this Clippers team would beat Dallas. I didn't think they'd beat the Jazz. I REALLY didn't think they'd beat the Jazz without Kawhi. I REAAAALLLY don't think they'll beat the Suns without Kawhi.
