game

three against sacramento a

game

in san francisco will not play suspended for the amount of sabonis incident now to the game you just watched we come back alive phoenix in the in the valley of the sun with the Clippers having taken game one and give me that man and Devin Booker man he himself had a gentleman who is also a great shot yeah Kevin Durant knock him down a bit at mid range give me that Kawhi Leonard I bet you'll win. t duck I tell you what we have to give money with a credit man he started doubling Kawhi and in the second half and that was the difference he dominated the game in the first half like the Clippers did with a lead of double digits at that point and Leonard going to Baseline for the dunk, but then Phoenix put together a run and erased that double digit deficit. fourth it's a shame this is a first round matchup sneaking behind the zubots and then just a little exchange here between former teammates Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant as they head to their groups yes it does Phoenix with an eight point lead, but the Clippers come back in transition and Westbrook ahead of the pack shoots that young thing I don't have to tell him twice 38 and nine assists for Booker on the night I tell you what man like I say man that boy look these guys gotta stop falling for that pick and roll heard stan van gundy talk about it over and over and over again yeah the same thing with the golden state warriors is they are doing it to the defense of aaron fox, exactly the same defense, how about Chris Paul at the end of this game? got some rebound tonight finished with 16 and eight eight of four now and then 38 per book that's impressive they go with 25 from Durant to go 17 from Tory Craig um because again only 13 points from that Phoenix bench really reliant on those The starters to do it is Monty Williams and they did it tonight by going 123 to 109.

Shaq, that game was huge, Phoenix was down double digits in the first half, and the Clippers outscored them for, I would say, 20 of the first 24 minutes of the game. that game did and then they stepped it up they realized what it was taking listen they played great book first game 26 this game 38 the team they shot at 58.8 percent played well everyone played well huh DeAndre Hayden stayed up you know they got the crowd involved in the game the little

clippers

go down but they couldn't get it back so they did what they were supposed to win this home game but the series that doesn't beat death would be an interesting series i think this could be six or seven, well I think I think the depth of the Clippers will become really important going forward because you saw we talked about halftime Kawai was controlling the game he had, um, he had it written down, he had like 16 18 points and 16 in the first half but if you notice they doubled him every time in the second half that means if they're going to take him out of the game those guys are going to take open shots so for me obviously Booker was fantastic.

KD played well, but I thought money money. I thought the money, the training, the adjustment that he made was the difference in the game, speaking of training, how about Tyronn Lue? they said they played really well you know and I'm proud of our guys because we weren't satisfied with just coming in and winning a game and I thought they wrote me off and we gave everything we had missed a few shots you know um had a couple key losses of the ball, but other than that, I thought you know we came in with the mindset that we wanted to win this game and, well, that's all you can really ask for, so we did a few things that we were able to clean up, you know? we go to the next game and you know we'll be ready but like I said you know they were down 1-0 at home and then the stars came to play tonight they had a great game you watch that game they only made eight mid-range shots they made 21 tonight 11 in the first half when you see that like I mean that's the shot a lot of teams like to give up and you challenge that shot well but you make them like you see that as what do you take away from that ?

Well, I think you need to continue mixing toppings, you know a lot, not letting them get comfortable and you know in the first half I thought we did a good job with our greats. being up and then Aiden, you know he got going, he did like four or five of them and then you know we backed off, we didn't book and Katie and CP got going so we just mixed up our coverage trying to keep everything balanced. I thought our zone was pretty good for us at times, but you just have to keep trying to keep them balanced as best as possible.

I agree with everything he said. I agree with the part that we could hear that we couldn't hear. the whole thing i hope y'all could at home maybe it was something that was cool that's cool but i'm sure it was insightful and probably not as insightful as this from kenny i have no idea what he said but y'all y'all just put a point in this game from where you sit yeah you know I think um Chuck said the adjustment but even in the adjustments I think Kawhi Leonard still forces the action a little different than other superstars because he's able to handle the basketball from different areas of the court so you can get him out front he could post you so if you're going to double up all court he can create some Havoc even without scoring and give guys easier shots instead of open but open dunks and layups , I'm excited to see this game go back to Los Angeles to see how the Clippers don't respond how the Suns keep the momentum because they were all I think if this was a home game for the Clippers it could have been a win clip but based the way the game was going yeah but to me devin booker wasn't going to let them lose he was completely amazing i mean CP3 played an excellent stretch of disappointment but this to me was all about devin booker I I mean when they were down 10 12 and he started to pull away I mean that was very impressive that was a great stretch late in the first half yeah getting rid of that double digit lead by the way Kawhi in game one had 38 points 25 of those in the second half tonight Devin Booker goes for 38 how many in the second half hey hey and now we'll take a break and when we come back game two in Cleveland yeah the Knicks and the Cavs hit power forward from small size and feisty. opponents chest oh i didn't say i wouldn't step on nobody you know the step one of you just quit and it was him he stopped it that was awesome that was some vintage bloody that was some old thing you can't stop i mean that should be back fighting and you can't be stopped I stepped on everything he says Hey I just said that's the difference between stepping and stuff there's a difference what makes contact with the chest I think there's a song in there yeah there's one difference i promise you made
