Series Thread: Western Conference Finals: 4) L.A. Clippers (without Kawhi Leonard) vs. 2) Phoenix Suns (without Chris Paul)

Booker 1st postseason.

CP been battling a shoulder injury most of the playoffs.

 

[Black Adam]

Sounded like you were talking about his missed ft last night.....not from game 2

You don't think that was a factor in the loss...?

 

[DJ Fieri]

BKS is thr only 1 who knows hoops on here!!!

Who knew?

Booker 1st postseason.

My only criticism of Booker is he let Pat Bev and others get under his skin way too much. I think the kid'll learn from it, though...

No. They were already playing the foul game at that point. Was going to be hard for them to win with no timeouts left. Would have needed a Suns mistake

CP shoulder been a non issue since the denver series

He avg 25 & 10 on 60 % shooting in that series

I gotta admit, Reggie Jackson has really impressed me in these playoffs

He will get paid and then go half speed the rest of his career

Everyone shot bad last night. Singling out George is silly. The final score was 84-80 for a reason

Booker been shooting bad since game 1 as well. Chris Paul done nothing as well but yeah let's act like Paul George is the only perimeter player shooting bad

It's not silly to single him out as he gave himself that absurd nickname.

"everyone shot bad last night"

True. But George has shot bad this entire series. He hasn't even shot 40% from the field in any game yet.


Booker had his nose broken in game two. But that has nothing to do with his performance this series right?

CP3 was in quarantine for 11 days. But that layoff has nothing to do with how he's playing right?

this is a lie

His shoulder injury isn't going to be fine till the offseasom.

 

[DJ Fieri]

WAMU brought up a good point abt CP being in quarantine.

 

[bksballer89]

Since when does a broken nose hurt your shooting especially when you're not wearing a mask. Booker was ass all of game 2 before breaking his nose and ass last night after removing his mask as well. If you want to give him a pass in G3 since he wore that mask then im fine with that

Also, please let's stop with the excuses for CP3. He is just shooting poorly just like Book and George.

 

[bksballer89]

Something tells me if George was in the same situation as Paul, the same excuses wouldn't have been made for him

Since you chopped off the majority of my comment I'll post it again.

It's a fact George has had a lousy series. The numbers prove it. But you choose to ignore them.

I haven't given CP3 a pass on anything. All I said was he was in virus quarantine. Another fact you choose to ignore.

So you think a broken nose has nothing to do with Booker's play? Okay, to each their own. P. Bev's done a damn good job defending him, that has to be mentioned. But a broken nose is still a broken nose.

OK, I can understand that...

Still..

He was solid the first 2 games IMO. Really poor shooting the last 2 games.

I'll say he's been avg overall as there is more to basketball than scoring.

But when it comes to shooting, he had 2 ok games and 2 bad games.

You think George was solid the first two games of this series? Well the stats say otherwise.

-game one: 10-26 from the field (he did shoot it good from downtown though, 7-15) but overall 10-26 is bad

-game two: 10-23 (1-8 from downtown)


So in the first two games he shot a combined 20-49 from the field. That's good for 40.8%. And 8-23 (.348) from downtown.

I actually watched the games lol. I'm not a box score person. Don't go on espn or nba.com to get the full story of the game

He took over in game 2 before those free throws. Personal 8-2 run to give the Clippers the lead. He was good

Game 1 he was great until the 4th. Couldn't buy a bucket

It's a bit below average for a guard. I wouldn't say bad necessarily though
