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

I agree that he isn't their best player, but it seems pretty clear that his leadership helped a young team take a big next step. Yes, they went undefeated in the bubble last year, but adding him took that team to another level. Was it all just the young core developing? Maybe, but I doubt it.

This.

They also added Crowder and he's been a really good player for them. A better and younger version of PJ Tucker.

 

[DJ Fieri]

lol

So now PG says that no other player is criticized as much as he is.

LOL.

 

[ChrisperJ10]

Quite honestly, i think the outcome of game 6 is gonna be decided by the play of THIS man...

fun fact…Devin Booker has never failed to close out a playoff series in a Game 6 at Staples Center.

 

[DJ Fieri]

My only beef is i hate going back to saying pandemic P after a bad game or 2....now if he disappears in the big moments as he did last season then or goes MIA for an entire series then im fine with it

Missed FT's down the stretch isn't a good look. Or 3 of his last 5 games being bad shooting games.

 

[tlance]

Lol @Skip Brainless. He still swears up and down Dak Prescott is just as talented as Patrick Mahomes...

Think he also put Josh Allen in the same light. Could be wrong on that one, though...

Josh Allen is close in terms of talent.

Dak Prescott isn’t.

Dak is pretty good, but damn.

Well, he better get it tonight.

Because all the pressure in the world will be on Them if they let it go to game 7

I don’t know about all that. I’d like for them to get to the finals because they’re a good team.

Oh yeah…

Fuck Donaghy and Horry

The Suns haven’t played their best game yet this series. I just have a feeling it happens tonight. As a bonus, I also want that imbecile Sam Quinn of CBS to look like the ass that he is if in fact the Clippers lose…

Also, don’t mind @tlance and others. He was just butthurt from another thread when I disputed his argument about “blaming the others” for Luka never winning a playoff series.

Blaming the others for lack of wins is unprofessional and unsportsmanlike. tlance knows this, and even if he may make his bullshit argument to the contrary - He knows the truth.

Yeah I’d really prefer that the Suns don’t come home to close out this series…

Thought that about game 5. They played like shit in game 4. Was hoping that game would light a fire under their ass, plus being able to close out the series in Phoenix… Would’ve been perfect.

LOL.

Butthurt? Too funny.

You are very wrong. I am not blaming anybody. You are making the all too common mistake of saying that a star player deserves all the credit when his team wins and the blame when his team loses.

Never mind that he lost in 7 games to a team with their own star in Kawhi Leonard. Never mind that that team has now advanced to the West Finals and won 2 games after Kawhi got hurt.

Clippers have serious depth. They are a lot more talented than Dallas. Dallas almost won anyway because of Luka.

And yet, you want to blame him? Blame him for what?

I know man. I feel bad about it. The Suns are my 2nd favorite team.

 

[thunderc]

It’s time for CP3 to step up tonight

 

[DJ Fieri]

Which player has the most pressure on them tonight.....PG or CP?

I say PG.

I don't know about that. PG is kind of playing with house money. No one expected the Clips to win another game in this series when Kawhi went down.

Bingo

Jackson has chipped in with several good games this series. And Morris played really well in the last game.

Not like PG has carried them.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Jackson is averaging 22ppg in this series.
