Phoenix at LA Clippers

Very impressive win for Phoenix. They decide to rest both Nash and Hill in the middle of their back-to-back-to-back, Gortat and Dudley combine for 6-20 shooting and Griffin was hitting jumpers like he was Dirk, yet Phoenix still pulled out the win.

 

This was definitely one of the most impressive games I've seen from the Suns this year. Brown really stepped up, especially late in the game.

I'm shocked to see the Clippers shooting just 12 free throws against a Suns defense that hasn't been that impressive, but yeah, you have to give credit to Shannon because he stepped up big, on both ends.

 

Clips are 4-7 in their last 11 games (since the break). Lakers are 7-2. Huge, when you look out West and see how many games separates everyone from top to bottom in the playoff race.

Did you watch the game at all?

 

If you did, it shouldn't really be a surprise as they were launching jumpers all game long. Even Griffin did most of his damage outside of the paint with his 15-18 foot jumper. They really didn't put any pressure on the refs to make a call since nobody was attacking and they were just settling all game.

 

The only reason why they even shot 12 is because Gentry decided to hack-a-Griff and hack-a-Jordan late in the game, otherwise they would've only attempted 6. Half their freebies came because of that.

Nope, I've been diagnosed with March Madness.

 

I don't see why the Clips settle for jumpers against the Suns. Maybe Gortat has turned into Alonzo Mourning (definitely a good defender, but come on...it's CP3 and Griffin).

Lol, I have too, but I watched this and the OKC/Denver game before I went to bed last night.

 

Funnily enough, Gortat was crap out there. Frye was actually intimidating the Clippers on defense. He got a few blocks/deflections early and for some reason they just stopped attacking.

 

I think they thought it would be an easy win without Nash and Hill in the lineup or something.
