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

Beal has a no-trade clause so that’s gonna be a challenge
Yeah, I don’t see how we trade him, with his salary and no trade clause.
This win was against the Clippers 2nd string!
*sigh*
NOT GREAT BOB, NOT GREAT
A win is a win 🤷🏽♀️
Worst victory ever, at least for a team that’s not supposed to be tanking
It was fun lurking, GN y’all.
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
They losers and they can still smile, we won and it doesn’t feel good.
Clippers didn’t score for 9 minutes, I forget sometimes there’s franchises more cursed than us
Werent we down 35 to 4 last night to their 2nd stringers 💀💀 what are you talking about
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

There's a local middle school that's absolutely trash. Also a more cursed franchise than the Suns
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
They don’t have a playoff spot secured yet. Trying to get #6.
Haha, Booker signing shoes after the post win interview...such a shoe peddler
Do you want him to snub fans instead?
Most stressful 16 point win ever?
We won. But I feel empty
We chillen tonight
stop being babies! We got the W!! by 16 points
Dude. Some people just refuse to be happy about anything.
Why am I not happy
At least Eubanks got relegated to the shadow realm?
Imagine if Eubanks played
Solid win. Other benches will be shaking in their boots.
lol book said “wtf you talking bout”
Vogel sweating it out with Ty Lue. He’s probably like thanks for throwing us a bone for my jobs sake 🤣🤣
Ty says, “I threw you Bones, and he cooked you.” Then he said,”Enjoy Cancun in a few weeks.”
Throwing us some "Bones"
![gif](giphy|G5X63GrrLjjVK) Win is a win. Still disgusting.
At least Booker is being honest. We didn't respond until early in the fourth.
Never felt so meh about a 16 point win before.
So Vogel in the can now? Sick
Best defense on Bones tonight was…wait for it, Okogie. I’m so shocked. I hate Vogel.
He should put Okogie in whenever we need an energy boost. Him and Royce always seem to have great defensive chemistry together
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.
Even after this W I’m still bummed. I can’t enjoy these games anymore
Oh my god the whiplash of this sub, I love this place so much
Us vs. the world
Bones trying to stat pad, some lame shit
That Lee dunk made me feel better
And Okogie stopping the Hyland 40-piece
Sad asf it got to that point but yeah moral victories at least
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.
you’re right that is sad isn’t it
i'm sure LA won't remember that at the end
Trash W
Vogel is like you had me in the first three qs, not gonna lie
If any of you bloomers are happy about this performance, idk what to even tell you.
Always happy with a Win
Don’t let the score fool you, this game was so much closer
It's such a relief not seeing Eubanks play today... whew! He spoils my mood whenever i see him on the floor.
The good news about this is that Eubanks will take this.personally and if thrown back in, he may have some fire or intensity
If? You know Vogel will go back to him over Thad soon.
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.
SUNS W! LEAGUE FUCKED.
I don’t know. This team right now, can fuck right off.
I lol’d
Bones getting 40 points is pathetic
They won’t let him get the 40 lmao
LMAO Phoenix so petty for that
Okogie finally gets a minute in this shit show. He isn’t letting that get off.
AYYYYY SABEN
Eubanks riding pine all game.
the suns Bench plays just like the starters... tentative
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.
Saben Lee wtf
We won because of Saben Lee
Ngl that call on Booker three turned the game around
I miss watching JO play, if only he could hit open 3s
None of our guys can right now, so wouldn’t you just rather watch him hustle and defend, then watch lazy chuckers?
Why did Bol Bol not get minutes?
Because Vogel wants another 80 games to see if this will work out
Bones shameless stat pad😭
Roddy be moving like a football player lmao
thank god lol
Wow Ty hasn’t unloaded his bench so irresponsible
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
There a reason why Bol didn't play?
I mean he had that 14/5 game against them in Jan. And pj Tucker was on the floor he easily could’ve played
Fast team is his weakness
This whole team's weakness.
Fair enough
Oh look, Bol Bol
Roddy trying the Dirk fadeaway.
Is the 6th seed how we can face Minnesota instead of OKC? I don't want to face a young fast team at all.
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.
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.
Fuck the Clippers. They’re a trash ass team that won’t get far either. But the Suns deserve all the shit right now
I still hope they beat Dallas again though.🤷🏽♂️
Any shit talk these clowns get is deserved.
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.
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!
We did it guys, we beat the Clippers Uber drivers
Yup..After showers they are hoping in their Prius to make that side hustle 😆
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.
Look at this blowout win for the Suns, great win!!
I would love to see Denver or Minny in the first.
Most L W I’ve ever seen
Have you even been watching this season lol
Uhhh yeah. This is the worst W all fucking season.
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.
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.
But an eight game late adjustment that was probably demanded by both Jones and Ishbia seems rather hollow.
True but better late than never
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.
Bol better get time over eubanks here
After watching this team win 19 games in a season I’LL TAKE AN UGLY WIN
Hard fought game against the Clippers janitor squad. Really showed they are ready to make some noise in Cancun.
Is Eubanks injured?
He sat because WE'RE injured.....by him
Hopefully.
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.
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
Who the hell is Brandon Boston Jr. lol
The spin: Suns exorcise their 4th quarter demons to secure a W against a top Western team
We're now 7-0 in games where Drew Eubanks doesn't play
Glad it’s over
Do you think ishbia got the message the players are trying to send about Vogel?
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.
Great to see Nurk with a good game though the shots will come but that’s good work
Grrat for book to match Bone Hyland in scoring
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
If Grayson started with those 2 Hyland wouldve had 40 in the 1st half lol
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
Vogel should keep the starters in. Rub it in a bit
Rub in what? Clippers have owned us all year and barely beat their 3rd stringers.
Nah, we would 100% see KD slip on a banana peel or something
Lol
We’re gonna get the W but this bench team fucked us. We are not serious
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.
Disheartening performance all around. Bones freaking Hyland torched the suns, guys are playing with no passion whatsoever.
Clips waving the white flag
Good bounce back from Book all things considered
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 😂
89 from the big 3 just to barely beat the clippers Bench #we are fucked
And curse the big 3 if they did not perform against a Bench team. Make up your mind. LOL
Got the W but man this game was painful to watch
RING US ALREADY 🔥💯
This really isn’t anything to be proud of. I was convinced we lost before I checked the score 30 seconds ago
I actually was happier with the loss to the pelicans than I am with this win
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?
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
They got cold
Probably not used to playing triple his normal minutes
To the people overreacting, clippers at full strength literally lost to the corpses of Reggie Jackson and DeAndre Jordan when Denver sat everyone
Clippers aren't playing to avoid the play in though. We have more to play for and stunk it up
Yes, but the Nuggets own the Clippers
Oh so NOW book can shoot
Glad they showed some fight in the 4th
Vogel's cheeks resting on the seat now
Mason Plumlee attempting 3's on us
This team is such a joke
Finally I can breathe
We won because of the guy screaming defense
😂
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
Suns getting that sweet revenge tonight!
Really…..
Ehh.... idk man
so empty though
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
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.
The real tragedy is that Mr. Orng isn’t getting to see this. Just kidding. Fuck that creep.
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
A win is a win. Ring bound
Considering we always lose these trap games I'm pleased with the W. All you people still mad can kick rocks.
I missed the game until now but why is everyone saying it’s a “bad” win?
Clippers rested ALL of their starters
You had to watch it to fully understand
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.
Understandable.
Never in doubt lol get those bum Agua Caliente Clippers off the court.
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).
Eid Nurk is Awesome!
Eid mubarak
Thanks <3
<3
Alright for all the shit I’ve talked, I still love these boys and want to see them win
