Game 34: Clippers (20-12) vs Suns (18-15) January 3rd

That last offensive play is exactly why I hate point Book

Point book is fine when we’re healthy. When guys are out, it’s so easy to plan for him.

After a 4 game easy slate, tonight begins a stretch of playing against actual contenders/playoff teams.

Should be a good way to gauge if the team really did actually figure it out or if the last 4 games were just beating up on weaker or tired teams.

Far too many shots being taken from range and most of them not falling. Taking it to the basket is what we need here and lots of it.

Daniel Theiss was a really good pick up for the Clippers.

Metu must have small hands relative to his size.Always fumbling the ball.

What a shocker - Booker hasn't shown up tonight.

Btw I can't stand Eric Gordon. He's one of the most glaring net negatives on this team. Between the unnecessary drives into a crowded lane - to matador defense. Sure he may light it up on a random night when he remembers he's only there to shoot, but I've seen enough.

This team still needs a PG.

[Jdiddy701]

James Harden push off. No call.

I'm wondering what the excuses will be tonight for us getting punked on our floor?

The Clips have a bunch of guys who love the rims in Phoenix.George,Kawhi, Powell, and Harden have always shot well in the desert.

Damn…. This is one of those ‘good teams’ isnt it?

[Revived]

We could’ve traded for Harden instead of walking-injury in Bradley Beal…and it may have cost the Suns even less than what Beal was traded for.

Harden at PG would’ve allowed Booker to play his actual position, SG, as well.

I’m good with Bradley Beal.

If we continue to get embarrassed, this will the the game that will convince the ownership we are not a Championship team this year as constructed. If it is Championship or bust, things will need to change.

This is just proof this team can't do anything if not healthy. Poor defense and can't make open shots. Clips making everything. Regardless if contested.
I predicted a blowout loss but still frustrating to watch.

I really hope Bol is first big off the bench going forward. He's a twig but he has more skill than Eubanks and Azubuike combined. May as well see if we can build something with him too

The refs doing there part as always

There’s a few players you double - Giannis and Embiid come to mind, Kawhi Leonard is not one of those players. Let him beat you!

What? He's insane. He shoots 56% from 2 and 43% from 3. I was glad with the way we played defense on him early. He couldn't get a shot. He's had over a 62% TS% for 3 years straight.

The talent discrepancy in this game is just too big. Plus they are shooting really well. With KD we'd be close or near even in talent, but it's just too much without him, especially if they are hot shooting and we are not. Kawhi is so big and long he's hard to guard, and George is long too. Those guys are just hard to defend, especially since both are 40%+ 3 pt shooters.

All I ask for this 2nd half is to show some semblance of growth. If not, I don't see the point in watching these games when not at full health. They don't show up in any way shape or form

The Pelicans have been on fire since blowing a couple of games to Memphis after Ja came back and went nuts. Crushing the TWolves now in Minnesota after crushing the Lakers and Nets after beating the Jazz.
