Also Q has been praising Ty Lue's coaching...I just saw Mr Kenny Atkinson on the sidelines with the Clippers. That's a pretty nice assistant to have.

Ayton!!

That last few minutes getting the right players on the floor was disgusting. Clippers trying to cheap for whatever reason and then how was it so difficult to figure out who was supposed to be out there? They got it right but it was super annoying.

Unbelievable finish. Paul George misses 2 straight FYs and then that Ayton alley oop dunk. Wow.

Also watching Ayton after the game he just seems really like able.

No they called that one correct. There was simply nothing flagrant about that play.

Watch it again. It looked like an intentional head butt to me.

Yeah, unbelievable finish in an increasingly more interesting playoffs. The Suns win despite only making 6 out of 26 3-point shots...long live the dominant center and mid-range game!

I'm a huge Paul George fan, but his two missed free throws in the closing seconds were disgraceful (even if it provided an outcome I was cheering for). When an 85% career FT shooter misses the two most important free throws of his career, it's difficult to come up with any other conclusion than this...he choked.

Abe's Late Night DVR Review...

- The final couple minutes took over 30 minutes. I fell asleep. TWICE!

Even though I had DVR, it was excruciating. Ended up missing any drama from the Ayton dunk. I'm not even sure what was going on with the substitutions. Now it could be said that watching it live would have added to the drama.

But 33 minutes or whatever for only 90 seconds of action doesn't sound like a better alternative.

I don't see it. If you want to explain why that's cool or we can just agree to disagree.

The Paul George that makes me want more showed up again. To be fair to him I'm not sure he can be expected to deliver absolutely fantastic performances every game with Leonard out. There were some other Clippers that had solid performances to help him out. Morris didn't do a whole lot.

Ha, yeah, poor Paul George. One moment he's eviscerated past perceptions of not rising to the occasion and in the next moment he's validating those perceptions. Two misses at the line! Ugh, you can't miss both!

But....The Clippers have been down 0-2 in the last two series. You can't count these guys out.

The Suns have won 9 in a row. Might as well hand them the title now. :)

It will be interesting to see if the series changes with either Leonard or Chris Paul retiring to their teams. Even without having to face Leonard the Suns wining these 2 games without Chris Paul is kind of impressive. I mean Cameron Payne!!! Payne is basically giving them what Chris Paul does in terms of production and his ability to set up guys has been pretty impressive. I'm looking forward to continue watching this series. Last night was less enjoyable than game 2 in terms of how fun it was to watch but it was highly entertaining even with all the fits and starts.
