  1. The one backup PG the Suns have on the entire roster isn't playing…like, everything else is 100% valid, but that's a huge part of at least 10 to 15 of Chris's minutes…

    C'mon now.

  2. They will only get better. Cam Payne will be back. LA will not shoot 50% from 3 again. Doubt if you want. You'll see. CP will be fine. And what you seem to forget is phoenix was two shots CP always makes but missed that day from stealing game 1 and being up 3-0

  3. Brou was so right on Westbrook. Knew that guy can still ball and should have never gone to the lakers

  4. What makes me happier than watching playoff basketball even though I’m a mavs fan is watching this show the day after

  5. I dont judge Russ in LA they had 3-7thers, Carmelo & all were useless, monk & tht played uninspired, LBJ hd to play center..& skip had la fans booing him..& they turned on his family & kids..but Russ gv ot his best shot..while everybody was blaming 1 guy…that's crazy..& everyone else got breaks..look at what hes doing now. Let the guy finish his legendary career..

  6. first off Nick is bias because LA lost to MEM who was undermanned, and we doing a disservice to the Clippers. Even without Kawhi and PG they play aggressive and with heart. They took the Suns 6 games without Kawhi a few years ago, why we acting like this team just sucks ???? They matchup very well with the Suns who btw JUST got thrown together. Yall have many excuses for Bron and LA but if its a team people dont like now all of a sudden yall have think pieces ready lol

  7. To act like anyone expected MVP/one man playoff OKC ensurance Russel Westbrook was going to show up in playoff games after 4 years of him being a vet, an energy guy, a one trick pony on offense; is insane. This shouldnt be posible and it's happening, i felt like i was watching one of those games from all the way back when Russ was the entire game plan, and willed teams to the playoffs on his own. I don't know what the Clippers or Ty are giving him, but as a fan of his, im loving this timetravel/turning back the clock arc his is having IN THE PLAYOFFS.

  8. Russell Westbrook is taking over Kawhi's spot on the team. Time to trade Kawhi he's not worth the money he's being paid, especially if he can't play full-time. A healthy Paul George and Russell Westbrook can lead this team just fine, I'm sure of it.

  9. jo wtf was going on with chris tonight. he was reacting to every word nick said, arguing semantics that seemed passive aggressive for no reason and nick got annoyed a bit

  10. Brou's facial reaction to Nick while he was talking about Russ is priceless😅😅

  11. One game at a time baby. KD and Book got a shooters chance every game

  12. How are we talking clippers suns and no one on this show mentioned anything about Kawhi load managing regular season AND playoffs?

  13. I don’t recall Durant standing in the corner that much. He single handedly got ayton 10 points off pick and roll.

  14. lol, what about the last game of the season on April 9, where all 4 of the suns superstars were benched, and only the sun's bench almost beat the clippers with kawhi? suns only lost by 5.

  15. The Clippers are the anit-basketball , their plan is not to play their game because they don't have a game beyond hitting contested shots, their goal is to disrupt the other team's game and do they do that by hacking and trying to get away with fouls based on the fact that the refs can't call them all.
    This can be hard for mix bench units, who havent played long together and need a bit of confidence to get going . if the Suns bench hit their first coupla shots then this whole theory falls apart and you can rest the starters

  16. This team can’t face the Nuggets like this. They just can’t. They will die out there in that altitude playing over 42-43 minutes a night. They can’t stop teams from attacking the rim. They have no big apart from Ayton and they have no 6th man to have a small ball lineup either so when Ayton has 4 fouls at any point, the team is in shambles because they can’t do anything when teams attack the paint and Jokic will have a feast there. And they can’t guard the 3 either and with doubling Jokic, the amount of shots created for the Nuggets will be perfect for an offense like that. MPJ should have a field day on offense with his corner 3s. Jamal is too tall for CP to guard him and you can’t have Booker guard Jamal while depending on him to average 30-35 a night while leading the playoffs in minutes played. Especially not while they’re in Denver.

  17. Laker and Lebron fans really convinced everyone that Russ was trash because they couldn’t admit the team was trash and that Lebron can’t carry bad teams anymore and scapegoated Russ

  18. CP3 and Book's minutes will go down once Cam Payne comes back. Most likely for game 4.

  19. "Every time I watch the Suns play I have less belief that they can win 16 games in these playoffs." …from the same dude who picked the Mavericks to win it all this year. 😂 Suns are 10-1 with KD and they're still not good enough for Nick Mild.

  20. Brou.. you were the drastic minority.. it was set up perfectly for a Wildes comment

  21. Im almost 100% sure Westbrook told his agent he was not moving his family again. So Clippers was the only option for him. I would do the same. Anything for my family.

  22. Has anyone considered maybe just maybe the Clippers match up well against the Suns. Not worried about our championship hopes sorry
