Clippers finally won a game in the series and it is 2-1 now. People were saying like C. Paul's return in this game would help Suns incredibly good. It turns out that it wasn't the case last night. Ayton - Booker - Paul trio all didn't have an impressive statistics. They missed a lot of shots. P. George was in fine feather and made a double-double (27 PTS, 15 REB). It was nearly a triple-double if he had 2 more assists. This was Paul's first game after he got rid of coronavirus. So I think that he will show a much better performance in the next game. Clippers should be ready for him.

We might say that CP3 is rusty, after a long lay-off, so we can understand that.

But Booker missed all his shots in the first quarter, credits to the defence of Pat Beverly as he hounded Devin all night and even have him a technical fouls due to frustrations. Paul George is doing his thing, and not for that blip missed free throws, I'm sure everyone would agree that they should be up 2-1 now.

Let's see next game, the winning streak of Suns has ended, and Clippers has all the momentum in this series.

The Hawks vs Bucks series is not interesting, however, if the Hawks will win again and make it a 0-2 for the Bucks, then I think they'll finally gain respect from the fans that they are a real deal and has a chance of winning he championship. It's still funny that the spread is still -7.5 for the Bucks despite this team's loss in game 1.

I love the Hawks to silence the crowd again, Trae Young will always be Trae Young, no one could stop him but he can be limited if they'll put the effective defense on him. We are going to witness another game in the series, a must-win for the Bucks and it's interesting to see how they'll do that.

Kawhi seems to be returning for game 6, that is the latest that I could find.

Hopefully, because the update says that he has just a sprained knee, and that should not be serious. Clippers have to win game 4, that's the only focus they should now, if they can do that, then we might see this series reach in game 7. With the return of Kawhi, if he still plays the same intensity, it might increase the Clippers' chances of becoming the champion this year.

Kawhi seems to be returning for game 6, that is the latest that I could find. Which means if Clippers could snatch one more win at home (which Kawhi would have been amazing for if he could just play at home) that means even if they lose game 5, they will have their star player back for 2 games at game 6 and 7. That is why this next game will be the utmost importance, it is at home, you need just one more game not to get eliminated and then you are going to have your star player at the very important games, he didn't miss much so I think he will not be that bad when he comes back.

Obviously series is still up for grabs by any team, even with Kawhi returning we could see Suns winning, they were better without CP3 which was a shock to me, without CP3 they were tanking last year and this year with CP3 they were better but for the past 2 games they were better without him, I do not know how to feel about it.

Will PHX gets 3-0 later? who's still waiting for Clippers to win their series?

It's possible, but it's unlikely since the Clippers are at home and play great basketball at home.
They have not lost 3 in a row in the playoffs, so I don't think they'll allow a mistake to happen in this game, it should be the Clippers' time to shine.

And that's it.

Phoenix lost the 3rd game and it's taken by Clippers making the series 1-2.

It's a bad night for Suns and good night for clippers since imagine the hot shooting of Suns has been limited at that game, Maybe there's adjustment for players since maybe Booker is not comfortable with his mask and Cp3 has newly comeback from injury.

Yeah, Booker had a bad performance in this match, but I guess all players feel discomfort when they need to play with a mask. However, Booker said it didn't affect his game(not true

), and he even talked with Rip Hamilton to get advice on playing with a protective face mask.

The suns chemistry is ruin by Chris paul return, in the last two games their style of play is very different, they were attacking and moving without the ball when Chris return they need to wait for Chris to set up a play, they should have tried what is working, certainly, the Clippers can't keep up with the level of plays in those two games, but I think game 4 will be alright for the suns.

Does it? I don't think so, CP3 has been a big part of the success of the Suns, yes, they played a slow pace but I believe that's the game plan. Pane is a great back up of CP3, but he was injured in the game so that's a big loss for the Suns, in addition, booker is not shooting well.

Maybe we can see the real action on game 4 since for sure Suns will revenge on their game 3 lose.

Also they need to limit the clippers stars if they want to win the 4.

After game 1, the game has become so physical already. The Clippers understand that they have a good chance of being the Suns if they are more physical and I think the Clippers have more players getting minutes compared to the Suns, and being Physical makes the starters of the suns tired, and thats' where there advantage will come.

This is the WCF, it's really going to be physical, and I think both team know that. They really did a good job at Booker in this game, as compare to Game 2 wherein Booker was just running around and hitting that mid range jump shot.

Game 3 was different, Beverly started to play physical on him, and try to have Booker work harder and spend more energy. It just a bad game for the Suns, they can't get their rhythm and the Clippers didn't allow them to jump early and do the catch up again. It was a total team effort on the part of the Clippers, Ty Lue has adjusted so let's see if they can continue their defense on both Booker and Chris Paul next game.

Right! bad night for the Suns main scorer, Booker might really affected by that broken nose.

And with how close Beverly and Mann he can't get the rhythm., while in the other side, Clippers are doing so well, PG is really trying even he's not getting it, those outside pass gives them open looks, with Jackson and Kennard they managed to stop Suns rally. Nice game for Clippers, they've managed to extend the series.

The Clippers already found someone to stop Booker, and that is Beverly, he maybe is smaller but he is quicker than Booker and it's pretty evident that Booker is struggling under Beverly's defense. Paul also has Mann on him, so it's really a tough match-up for the Suns as going forward Clippers have adjusted their game.

Payne's injury is really a big loss, I agree with that, he only played 4 minutes in game 3 when he was the top scorer in game 2. He played 37 minutes and made 29 big points, so if you'll look at that figure that's really a big loss. Not only his offense but his defense as well as we know he is a great defender.

Suns are in foul trouble throughout the game, game 3 was really for the Clippers and they made it successfully. Pane was also injured and did not come back in the game, so all the advantage was really on the Clippers. I'm not sure if they can even the series, but hopefully they'll play the same intensity in game 4 and Beverly has to still do his work on Booker.

The Clippers really loved to be behind 0-2 in this playoffs. They tend to become stronger during game 3 and up. I'll be more impressed with Paul George If he can bring his team in the Finals this year. I mean PG has been slandered as much as LeBron in this league.
Though I'd love to see the Phoenix Suns in the Finals, but I also like Paul George to be in the biggest stage. He had an amazing career back in the Pacers but Miami was too much for him. This might be his only chance to win the championship.

Yes, and when they are in momentum it gets scary.
They might even finish it off in just one sweep but that's just me being too excited. Grin

Zubac proved something now, he can do it against Ayton. I guess his confidence is back now that PG13 needs a lot of help from everybody.
The last time they were against Jazz he was benched most of the time because they are using the small line-up to abuse Gobert being slow to react.
Now, they definitely need someone to guard Ayton and more.

They are still up to the right track, they all started at 0-2 then win game 3 and 4. So, let's ride with the trend and hope that the Clippers will win in game 4. The good thing about this team is that they figure out how to win and then their opponent is not able to make some adjustment. PG has to bring this team as no signs of Kawhi coming back, and the more this series will be longer, the better chance we will see Kawhi to be back in the series or in the NBA Finals if the Clippers will be successful again.

Good luck, hopefully they'll get Finally get a W.

This is a must win for them or else they will get swept by this young Suns team.

We know that Kawhi isn't playing because of his injury and CP3 is back but their back up point guard Cameron Payne has an ankle injury and Booker is still silent and now has 9 points. I always like how Beverley is playing in terms of defense. His defense really disrupts the playstyle of this players and we've seen it on Booker. I didn't bet but I will go for Clippers with this too if I put my bet because there is a high chance that they will do whatever they can just to win or else we will need another brooms Cheesy
