At least he won’t have a chance to ‘’shoot’’
Wait a minute the Grizzles beat the the play in Champions with play in MVP Pat Bev last season. They have done it all!!!!
Karma 💀
If I’m lakers players and Ja plays I’m go after that wrist every play
Look at the bright side, at least he can't shoot in the club anymore. No contract extension and cut him already
What are they talking about ? It's the 2023 Lakers. The team who squeaked into the play in round. The team that couldn't stay healthy the whole year. Give it a few more days. One of the Lakers could get hurt in their sleep. It's not a far fetched statement with this group.
@3:10 "injuries and gravity will catch you and take you out" 😂😂. I hope Ja recovers for game two, but Wilbon is just too hilarious with this quote.
Tony doesn’t even watch games he just pulls out meaningless stats everyday
When two of the most injured players collide 🙂
I'm surprise AD will not get injury in this play 🙂
Just shoot his hand up with something so he can play, we all know he is such a tough guy.
Ja thinks he can just show up and his career is good. At this state he will be even worse than Iverson. Only making it maybe to one conference finals if he is lucky.
I was talking to my family today. We love our Clippers' chances upsetting the Suns in the 1st round. I should've bet it straight up for that Game 1. Bucks losing because Giannis got hurt just had to ruin that Lakers/Bucks/Clippers/Nuggets parlay. Oh, well.
Here's the key things I'll keep pointing out…
– Suns are a two-man show. If KD and Book don't produce, they falter.
– Suns' bench is too thin and the entire team is too small. KD is a tall, skinny dude. Biyombo is 6'8 and their backup C.
– Ayton is soft. Zubac and Plumlee can shove him out and grab the boards.
– CP3 has become CP37 soon to be CP38. That's Year 18 with tons of mileage. Russ is 3" taller and can blow right by him. Then block his shot if he could block Booker.
– Covington and Morris did not play in Game 1. Check the schedule. This series lacks a 2-day break from Game 1-4. This is not good news for KD and Book logging so many minutes (44 minutes upwards) or an older player like CP3 needing to play every other day and has a bad injury history in the playoffs.
Suns' lack of depth will be their downfall whether it's against us or Denver. Doesn't matter. They're not winning it all or the West. They lost shooting and perimeter defense by trading "The Twins" and Crowder for KD. Mikal and Cam can really ball. Solid 3 & D guys. Crowder went to a better contender in Milwaukee.
Clippers in 6. KD's Nets last year had more depth than these current Suns he's on. Guys like Seth Curry and Royce O'Neale. They had the better duo in KD & Kyrie and the Celtics still swept them. And Kawhi is superior to Tatum who forced KD to shoot 38% from the field last year.
2023 Suns vs. Clippers is really just a sequel to 2022 Celtics vs. Nets. Not saying my Clippers will sweep them but they are the better overall team. I kept telling y'all to beware of my Clippers. Suns getting all this hype because KD is on the team and he hasn't won a ring in 5 years. It's not 2017 and 2018 anymore, people. KD can barely stay healthy these days.
If we lose, we lose. Playing with house money. All the pressure is on KD and I don't believe his team is good enough to beat us. Terance Mann alone outscored the entire Suns' bench.
Skip Bayless was right all along… until he wasn't. I love Skip. He's really a good dude but doesn't mind embracing the villain persona dating back to that 1982 video of him. But his disdain for Westbrick altered his view for HIS Clippers. He did buy a Kawhi Clippers jersey.
Maybe it's better this way? Jinx the Suns instead like he did to the Nets last year, the Clippers in 2020, and his Cowboys every year. I call Ty Lue OVERRATED but it doesn't mean I don't think he's brilliant. Russ guarding KD? That completely threw off KD.
Monty is a good coach but he's not Lue. He will not outsmart Lue in this chess game. Monty is only playing checkers. I guess Lue really fixed Westbrick enough to give us a shot. He gave Russ that confidence to hit those FTs late. And Russ seems to listen to Lue better than Ham.
Rondo was only with the Clippers for 3 months and he still speaks highly of Lue. And Rondo is a basketball genius. Thank you, Ty Lue . Turn Russell Westbrook into our 6'3 Dennis Rodman.

The Grizzlies will win in 6
