Crowder pulling Davis on that screen should have been an offensive foul and a 4 point play. But Phoenix has gotten away with off-ball fouls ALL game.


Crowder is a dirty piece of (bleep). Can’t stand that mofo.


Can the Lakers sign him next season? I am sick of seeing him trying to hurt Lebron. Maybe as teammates he'll play nice to Lebron?


Or somebody can just smack him down. Kief is probably up to the task.


Crowder is that guy you like having on your team but hate when he plays you.

Yea, I'd be fine if they got him.

It’s justified. This is effort is inside AD. He has the ability to give this effort every night. That’s all we ask.


Exactly. He deserved the criticism. He was sleepwalking all season. But also deserves praise when he plays like this. Just do it for the rest of the playoffs, please.

Exactly.

If Dallas played defense I'd be much more confident they'll win the series. I still don't trust them but I'd so happy if they beat the flippers

Fair enough. I do believe pre-injury missed time he wasnt physically right, so for me his season really started after he came back.

One LA team going to be down 2-0, glad it wasn’t us. Clippers don’t have the grit to come back and win 4 of 5. Serves Kawhai right for the BS he pulled on us in free agency, and Paulina George as well.

Did everyone catch dirty Crowder trying to injure AD on that late Lebron 3.

They will try it again, especially if CP3 is hurt.

CP3 is done. No matter how hot Payne was, you find a way to have CP3 on the court if he’s anywhere close to being healthy.

It's so nice to watch the Clippers game after our team secures the win.


And its hard to hate on Cuban.. when they showed him in the final moments.. all I could think of was KOBE!!! twisting his reality too often

Dumb foul Kawhi..

Nuggets came back from down 2+ every series last year?
Clippers don't have the nuggets to pull it off

I think one unexpected thing when everyone hyped the Clippers is the reputation of Kawhi and PG as defenders is much stronger than their actual defense.

2 straight playoffs where the Clippers can’t stop a couple of good offenses and their Pippen and Jordan avoid the star matchups lol.

Today it was a good day...

Dinner:

Lakers win 109-102.

Vog's changes for the game? Play big. Trez did not play. Instead when Dre sat, Gasol played. Kieff also played. He elected to get the rebound advantage and avoid the Suns getting too many second chance points.

Lakers would push to double digit leads in the first quarter, and in the third, only to see a Suns TO lead to a run. In the fourth, the Suns then really started gaining momentum. On offense, attacking the hoop or a timely 3, while the Lakers offense was stuck in shooting jumpers.

Then as the game started winding down, Vog finally pulled out AD at 5 and went LBJ + guards around him. The sequences went something like: AD blocks shot. AD hits a 3. AD attacks basket and gets FT's. AD's defense interferes with a Suns drive, causes a turnover. AD more FT's

Dagger 3 by LBJ, game over.

Props to AD...he was HUGE. 30+ points. 10 boards. I think...what 7 assists?

LBJ, Dre, and Shro also played extremely well.

Still room for improvement. Bench has been poor in this series so far with scoring. Also, it wasnt until the Lakers starting hitting 3's (they started 2-13, then went 8-20, to end 10-33) that the Suns started having issues...so there it is. Shoot decent from 3, they win.

We took homecourt, lets defend it now.

DESSERT:

Clips lost. Just LMAO. What a great finish to the evening. Clips now down 0-2.

What is hilarious is media folks (cough Max Kellerman) comparing their D talent to the 90's bulls...OMG. LOL.

These people never watch entire games, they watch highlights and go off of those. I never listen to these people. I only trust the opinions of fans who watch all these games like you guys. Not hot take machines that are just out to get eyeballs/clicks
