  1. Great bounce back win for the Suns!! The series just got more intense!!! Looking forward for Game 3!!

  2. Booker put the Suns on his back. 38 Points with 63% FG (18 Points in 3rd Q). Unreal two-way intensity

  3. Ty Lue is supposed to be some great coach but his gameplan was just give the ball to Kawhi and let him iso from the top? 😭😭😭 The reason they lost this game is because Phoenix was making it easier for KD and Book to get space and get to their spots! It was tough watching Kawhi have to fight through 3 and 4 defenders all game long

  4. Damn Both Kawhi and Westbrook both had great gamesas well… if only PG was healthy the clippers could possibly be up 2-0 on the suns no cap … But it's all good I expected Phoenix to win this game but considering how hard it was for them I am pretty confident in the clippers for games 3 and 4 with their fans behind them…Also i don't want to see any haters come at russ at all!!

    LET'S GET IT CLIPPERS!!!

  5. Suns fan here we need more depth I don’t see us winning the championship playing KD and Book 40 mins every game .

  6. DURGOAT HOLDING ONTO THAT 45 BOMB 💣 THATS INCOMING and now they booker killing it in game 3 he might see less double teams and you know what that means barbecue chicken

  7. take durant mom out of the game lol. seens like he plays more nervours when she is on the game.

  8. i really felt like the clippers could win that game but they got no help from the others but its ok after these 2 game i feel like the clippers should be the favorites

  9. Suns needed to win this game and played with extreme desperation. I think clips even without PG have a good chance of winning the next two games since they’ll be at home and I think they shoot better overall as a team. Even if the suns win this series somehow I can’t see them winning the entire thing because Book and Kd won’t be able to play every single minute and win it themselves. If PG had been playing this series would more than likely be 2-0 Clips right now

  10. What a game. Even with the obvious corrupt refs trying to give them game away. Love to see it.

  11. If PG plays at least someone will guard Booker on defense. Kawhi won't be in trouble anymore, because he alternates, sometimes with booker and sometimes with KD, so he is difficult. So hopefully in Game 3 PG can come back. so that at least Kawhi can run, you can't stop Kawhi either on Offense or Defense he'll swallow you up. I don't believe they will lose here even without PG. Kawhi can still do that, as long as Westbrook and the others step up a lot, I want Terence to step up, he's really good. Especially Norman Powel, he is a professional scorer that should be shown.

  12. i feel somehow this series will be decided by the role players. Kawhi and KD is consistent enough to contribute their part

  13. Booker can finally rest knowing he can be a robin and not Batman lol him and Kd are overrated as hell
