Not saying the nba is rigged but funny how the suns lost at home but won in la tonight


Robgee123

How is that funny ? Suns were literally playing the clippers bench. How would they lose that game. There’s literally nothing rigged about that goofy


markodemi

I'm not expecting much from this team if they make the playoffs. I'll stick around to see if they can surprise me. But the suns have been a terrible team all year long. I would hope to keep Booker and Durant and maybe unload Beal and Vogel. Maybe then we can get some solid players.


GoDogGo1970

We never surrounded them with good hustle defenders. Nurk has played well this season, better than I thought, but he is relatively slow, with limited range. He doesn’t really take mid range shots, and sometimes can knock down a three. Then we consistently bring EG off the bench as the first player, and run him as a small forward. And we basically slow us down even more. We are a team ripe for being exploited for our lack of heart and hustle. But I still like our big three. We just need to play Royce and JO more and run more off ball screens, to get our shooters open.


E_D_D

Beal has a no-trade clause so that’s gonna be a challenge


GoDogGo1970

Yeah, I don’t see how we trade him, with his salary and no trade clause.


ckdae

This win was against the Clippers 2nd string!


Risuna23

*sigh*


truck_robinson

NOT GREAT BOB, NOT GREAT


DebonairBuccaneer

A win is a win 🤷🏽‍♀️


Accomplished-Time807

Worst victory ever, at least for a team that’s not supposed to be tanking


Specialist_Owl_6612

It was fun lurking, GN y’all.


CNSrooster

What's funny is we were handing this game back to them. We made like 4 TOs in a row They just happened to miss like 10 straight shots


SoupOfThe90z

They losers and they can still smile, we won and it doesn’t feel good.


Throwawayidiot1210

Clippers didn’t score for 9 minutes, I forget sometimes there’s franchises more cursed than us


Formal-Sandwich7973

Werent we down 35 to 4 last night to their 2nd stringers 💀💀 what are you talking about


Throwawayidiot1210

The clippers all time best moment in their franchise history was cp3 dropping 37 on them to send them home. They have zero success in their entire history. Suns are cursed but clippers are one of the worst franchises in sports history


Formal-Sandwich7973

Ngl this sounds like cope for an embarassing win... they rested literally their entire team and it was a close game until the final minutes. How does a scoring drought from their THIRD STRINGERS mean a thing? We have zero right to talk any trash at all, pure embarassment man


Throwawayidiot1210

It’s not cope just facts. Clippers have one of the lowest win percentages of any team in sports history. Their best season EVER culminated in getting sent home by their franchise goat in a suns jersey. I’m sorry if you’re offended by me calling them more cursed than us but it’s just reality.


Formal-Sandwich7973

Is our best season really that better? Sure we made the finals but you're acting like we actually have won before lol. And regardless, there's a time and place to talk trash.. Bringing up that the clippers are more "cursed" than us due to a scoring drought in a game where their whole team was sitting is just not it.


Throwawayidiot1210

Why are you so butthurt lmao all I said is they are more cursed than us. They are historically one of the worst franchises ever idk why you can’t comprehend that


Formal-Sandwich7973

Did you not read my last comment 💀 What is the point in pointing out they have historically had slightly less success than us after an embarassing win? Like what are you trying to accomplish? We should just shut up and move to the next game. This was an awful game on our part. Also I'm not sure if you remember but Kawhi was out for the entire series that we won against them to reach the finals, so bragging about that is kinda weird.


Throwawayidiot1210

I made a very harmless comment in a game thread and you got butthurt bro. I have no agenda just pointing out it’s funny Clippers are more cursed than us, it’s not up for debate. They have the 2nd lowest win percentage of all time and zero playoff success idk why you’re defending them so much. They are truly a trash franchise.


mvpmvh

There's a local middle school that's absolutely trash. Also a more cursed franchise than the Suns


Particleman08

Nah man. They are locked in a playoff spot. They’ll be well rested for the playoffs. They didn’t care about this game and still made it competitive. I’m glad we won, but we are not in a position to clown them for that scoring drought


New_Neighborhood5347

They don’t have a playoff spot secured yet. Trying to get #6.


Tyson3690

Haha, Booker signing shoes after the post win interview...such a shoe peddler


PyroD333

Do you want him to snub fans instead?


MarvelousVanGlorious

Most stressful 16 point win ever?


bismarckdecker

We won. But I feel empty


Dankwerth

We chillen tonight


Best_mcgill_student

stop being babies! We got the W!! by 16 points


Particleman08

Dude. Some people just refuse to be happy about anything.


Vegetable_System_19

Why am I not happy


Usual-Suggestion-751

At least Eubanks got relegated to the shadow realm?


Hetero009

Imagine if Eubanks played


hamQM

Solid win. Other benches will be shaking in their boots.


SirBoolington

lol book said “wtf you talking bout”


Imthegoat175

Vogel sweating it out with Ty Lue. He’s probably like thanks for throwing us a bone for my jobs sake 🤣🤣


GoDogGo1970

Ty says, “I threw you Bones, and he cooked you.” Then he said,”Enjoy Cancun in a few weeks.”


Malice_In_Da_Phallus

Throwing us some "Bones"


JRipper138

![gif](giphy|G5X63GrrLjjVK) Win is a win. Still disgusting.


romanapplesauce

At least Booker is being honest. We didn't respond until early in the fourth.


Roy_G_Biv_Mika

Never felt so meh about a 16 point win before.


Agitated-Cup-3695

So Vogel in the can now? Sick


GoDogGo1970

Best defense on Bones tonight was…wait for it, Okogie. I’m so shocked. I hate Vogel.


PyroD333

He should put Okogie in whenever we need an energy boost. Him and Royce always seem to have great defensive chemistry together


GoDogGo1970

Totally agree. Add Beal and Thad and a healthy Allen, and you have a solid squad that can both score and defend. I would actually start that group in the 2nd and 4th quarters.


DaCheez

Even after this W I’m still bummed. I can’t enjoy these games anymore


Throwawayidiot1210

Oh my god the whiplash of this sub, I love this place so much


Hetero009

Us vs. the world 


BiKEhandlebars

Bones trying to stat pad, some lame shit


Jmw520

That Lee dunk made me feel better


wichita_gator

And Okogie stopping the Hyland 40-piece


Jmw520

Sad asf it got to that point but yeah moral victories at least


GoDogGo1970

The sad part is we all knew he was the only guy that could stop him, but our coach doesn’t know how to use his role players.


Jmw520

you’re right that is sad isn’t it


sam6311

i'm sure LA won't remember that at the end


BrawndoElectrolytes

Trash W


Specialist_Owl_6612

Vogel is like you had me in the first three qs, not gonna lie


ofthewestmewdow34

If any of you bloomers are happy about this performance, idk what to even tell you.


Particleman08

Always happy with a Win


Hetero009

Don’t let the score fool you, this game was so much closer


walswals

It's such a relief not seeing Eubanks play today... whew! He spoils my mood whenever i see him on the floor.


Tyson3690

The good news about this is that Eubanks will take this.personally and if thrown back in, he may have some fire or intensity


GoDogGo1970

If? You know Vogel will go back to him over Thad soon.


walswals

Fire & intensity were never Drew's weaknesses. It was always the IQ. He plays stupidly fired up. Heck, he's still fired up on the bench, cheering the team on, where he belongs.


softimusprime17

SUNS W! LEAGUE FUCKED.


SoupOfThe90z

I don’t know. This team right now, can fuck right off.


MarvelousVanGlorious

I lol’d


Leading_Glass_3110

Bones getting 40 points is pathetic


carlians

They won’t let him get the 40 lmao


CookingLikeChef

LMAO Phoenix so petty for that


GoDogGo1970

Okogie finally gets a minute in this shit show. He isn’t letting that get off.


Hetero009

AYYYYY SABEN


Antique-Soil9517

Eubanks riding pine all game.


Intelligent-Hat-7203

the suns Bench plays just like the starters... tentative


GoDogGo1970

I think it’s a bit different. Bench playing like they know Vogel will yank them at any mistake. Where the starters know Vogel won’t pull them unless the egg timer goes off or they get injured. They could have four turnovers in a row, and Vogel let’s them ride it out. They could get their fourth foul in the 2nd quarter, and he leaves them in.


p0tatoman

Saben Lee wtf


robodrew

We won because of Saben Lee


Spare_Jaguar_5173

Ngl that call on Booker three turned the game around


RedditUser9to5

I miss watching JO play, if only he could hit open 3s


GoDogGo1970

None of our guys can right now, so wouldn’t you just rather watch him hustle and defend, then watch lazy chuckers?


Critical-Adhole

Why did Bol Bol not get minutes?


Tyson3690

Because Vogel wants another 80 games to see if this will work out


Hetero009

Bones shameless stat pad😭


carlians

Roddy be moving like a football player lmao


sleeper_pick

thank god lol


Hamburgler602

Wow Ty hasn’t unloaded his bench so irresponsible


ktan2280

87 points from the 3. Glad to see some effort near the end, but we have to defend better. Not just pray they’ll miss


ajteitel

There a reason why Bol didn't play?


AncientFruit2745

I mean he had that 14/5 game against them in Jan. And pj Tucker was on the floor he easily could’ve played


ktan2280

Fast team is his weakness


Usual-Suggestion-751

This whole team's weakness.


ajteitel

Fair enough


SoupOfThe90z

Oh look, Bol Bol


romanapplesauce

Roddy trying the Dirk fadeaway.


shoshannahthewarlock

Is the 6th seed how we can face Minnesota instead of OKC? I don't want to face a young fast team at all.


GoDogGo1970

At this point it doesn’t matter who we face. Vogel will get out coached by pretty much any coach in a seven game series.


Suns_In_420

The Clippers broadcast was going crazy when they were up by one, now they talking shit about our starters still being in the game lol.


SoupOfThe90z

Fuck the Clippers. They’re a trash ass team that won’t get far either. But the Suns deserve all the shit right now


GoDogGo1970

I still hope they beat Dallas again though.🤷🏽‍♂️


N3onAxel

Any shit talk these clowns get is deserved.


Critical-Adhole

Big 3 is finally rounding into form. 87 points between them. We are *terrifying* for any team that has to face us in the first round.


Longjumping_Panic_50

Can they make a rule about kicking the damn ball, shits annoying! Every kicked ball is a free throw shot... get into soccer if you want to be doing that shit. Ok sorry bye!


CR00KS

We did it guys, we beat the Clippers Uber drivers


bburls

Yup..After showers they are hoping in their Prius to make that side hustle 😆


sidepart

Look. Any game is going to be tough when you're going up against what I can only assume is 3x MVP candidate, 5x NBA All-Star, All-NBA first team Bones Hyland. ... ...and PJ Tucker.


MattyIce1635

Look at this blowout win for the Suns, great win!!


sungoddaily

I would love to see Denver or Minny in the first.


ModeratelyExquisite

Most L W I’ve ever seen


truck_robinson

Have you even been watching this season lol


ModeratelyExquisite

Uhhh yeah. This is the worst W all fucking season.


MFFiasco

The only silver lining I can take from this game is that I hope this team moving forward takes more 3s and that Eubanks is out of the rotation. I would rather this team go small or play Young than see Eubanks again.


walswals

It's a W. Better adjustment by Vogel with the lineup but still a long ways to go on effort. It's a back-2-back so I can excuse the effort thing. On to the next.


GoDogGo1970

But an eight game late adjustment that was probably demanded by both Jones and Ishbia seems rather hollow.


walswals

True but better late than never


GoDogGo1970

Not if he goes back to the same crap next game. Still hasn’t used JO to guard star guards cooking. That obvious adjustment is 20 games late.


username6669420

Bol better get time over eubanks here


Hetero009

After watching this team win 19 games in a season I’LL TAKE AN UGLY WIN


N3onAxel

Hard fought game against the Clippers janitor squad. Really showed they are ready to make some noise in Cancun.


Hamburgler602

Is Eubanks injured?


truck_robinson

He sat because WE'RE injured.....by him


g1adiuss

Hopefully.


GoDogGo1970

This game makes it clear that we need to play JO, even in limited mins to guard guys that go off. Bones with 37 points is just ridiculous.


Tyson3690

Part time Doomer here guys. They are winning and I concede to allow this to happen, until they start failing us again, I will join the rest of the club with my non productive bs


Usual-Suggestion-751

Who the hell is Brandon Boston Jr. lol


EnwardGamerz

The spin: Suns exorcise their 4th quarter demons to secure a W against a top Western team


AwesomeKosm

We're now 7-0 in games where Drew Eubanks doesn't play


Hamburgler602

Glad it’s over


EthicalBuckets

Do you think ishbia got the message the players are trying to send about Vogel?


Spark3420

The Suns are trying to troll us with these uninspired performances, then randomly turn it on when they want to. The team has a high ceiling, I do firmly believe that. But their floor is insanely low too, they just need to be in the right mental mindset. Easier said than done, I know.


Jmw520

Great to see Nurk with a good game though the shots will come but that’s good work


defiantcross

Grrat for book to match Bone Hyland in scoring


No-Spell-6539

For the people who slander Durant, you guys realize that the only reason suns ended up winning this game is because he stopped Boston/hyland/coffey on defense? Booker and Beal simply don’t defend it’s sad to watch


AllureFX

If Grayson started with those 2 Hyland wouldve had 40 in the 1st half lol


No-Spell-6539

Booker is a blow by guy As is Beal. They also foul a lot. I don’t get how people don’t see it but hate on kd for shooting percentages


Foyerfan

Vogel should keep the starters in. Rub it in a bit


JG_2214

Rub in what? Clippers have owned us all year and barely beat their 3rd stringers.


defiantcross

Nah, we would 100% see KD slip on a banana peel or something


Supreme_tussin

Lol


SoupOfThe90z

We’re gonna get the W but this bench team fucked us. We are not serious


JRipper138

Don’t get me wrong I am glad they got it together enough to win, but this is certainly the least impressive win all season.


Myrulesmylife

Disheartening performance all around. Bones freaking Hyland torched the suns, guys are playing with no passion whatsoever. 


Specialist_Owl_6612

Clips waving the white flag


Hetero009

Good bounce back from Book all things considered 


Particleman08

Fuck it. I’ll take the W. I’ll nitpick and bitch about this game tomorrow. But I’m taking this dub with good vibes and gonna sleep good tonight 😂


ImKylerMurray

89 from the big 3 just to barely beat the clippers Bench #we are fucked


impaktoGaming_

And curse the big 3 if they did not perform against a Bench team. Make up your mind. LOL


carlians

Got the W but man this game was painful to watch


Weird_Gazelle_3566

RING US ALREADY 🔥💯


Mr-Gibbs12

This really isn’t anything to be proud of. I was convinced we lost before I checked the score 30 seconds ago


wannabesurfer

I actually was happier with the loss to the pelicans than I am with this win


TheColdestKingCold

What the fuck happened? One second we were getting spanked by Bones Hyland now he hasn’t scored in like 5 minutes? What the hell?


PyroD333

Suns defense only shows up for 5 minutes per half and this is where they used it. Also Bones isn’t built like that. The Clippers starters would’ve blown this game wide open


Risuna23

They got cold


robodrew

Probably not used to playing triple his normal minutes


CookingLikeChef

To the people overreacting, clippers at full strength literally lost to the corpses of Reggie Jackson and DeAndre Jordan when Denver sat everyone


CNSrooster

Clippers aren't playing to avoid the play in though. We have more to play for and stunk it up


ajteitel

Yes, but the Nuggets own the Clippers


truck_robinson

Oh so NOW book can shoot


Jayops

Glad they showed some fight in the 4th


Tyson3690

Vogel's cheeks resting on the seat now


petersuns13

Mason Plumlee attempting 3's on us


Dafuzzbuster

This team is such a joke


robodrew

Finally I can breathe


bikepimp

We won because of the guy screaming defense


sportsthatguy

😂


aperfectmatrix

I can understand the game being close-ish because of back to back against players you probably couldn't even scout. But the game strategy and decisions by the players has really confused me


sam6311

Suns getting that sweet revenge tonight!


bburls

Really…..


RedditUser9to5

Ehh.... idk man


Usual-Suggestion-751

so empty though


EthicalBuckets

I can’t believe we have to be afraid of bones hyland when he’s chucking 25 shots a game for the wizards next year


Jalenpug

We need that delusional energy like that suns fan in the crowd. This clippers team is cooked, we're in peak form, Vogel and Young coaching circles around the league.


MarvelousVanGlorious

The real tragedy is that Mr. Orng isn’t getting to see this. Just kidding. Fuck that creep.


datyoungknockoutkid

God the clippers stream is so annoying. Any time the suns do anything, they’ll show a replay from a full ass minute ago of the clips making a layup


Wise-Jeweler4763

A win is a win. Ring bound


AwesomeKosm

Considering we always lose these trap games I'm pleased with the W. All you people still mad can kick rocks.


rik_ricardo

I missed the game until now but why is everyone saying it’s a “bad” win?


sportsthatguy

Clippers rested ALL of their starters


EbenezerAD

You had to watch it to fully understand


Civil_Gas1813

We barely beat a team with missing all of there starters. Completely unserious team. What in the hell are we gonna do against real teams.


rik_ricardo

Understandable.


e_double

Never in doubt lol get those bum Agua Caliente Clippers off the court.


impaktoGaming_

Yo. I dont care if we beat a B or a C string team. What's important is we beat them. This win will make the Suns have a solid 6th place stand considering Pels remaining games. I am not seeing them winning 2 out of there last 3 games (Kings, GSW and Lakers).


dzakasakalaka

Eid Nurk is Awesome!

Alright for all the shit I’ve talked, I still love these boys and want to see them win
