I get why Patrick Beverley did what he did, but he also clipped Ayton from behind. Mixed feelings on it - not great feelings on it #lakers #suns #nba
@EricPincus seen this movie before. It's one thing to be protecting/standing up for your teammate("foxhole" guy as Pbev put it) and it's another to do some sneaky weak from behind stuff. If Ayton gets hurt where are we today? My kids learn in preschool to "use your words". They don't teach that in Chicago I guess ...
@dahersch We live in a world where "using your words" has a limit - was this past the limit the other night? Probably not but fine, say it is, clipping the guy from behind when he doesn't know it's coming? Not a fan
@EricPincus notice how he(PB) didn't do anything to Devin Booker! Devin Booker is a gangster and Pat Bev KNEW not to mess with that guy. Ayton may be tall but....He (DB) would def be waiting in the parking lot for PB!
@dahersch @EricPincus I have known Pat since I covered him here at Arkansas. I doubt very seriously he's scared of Devin Booker.
@OK6 @dahersch Pat Beverley is not scared of Devin Booker. Like, love, hate, whatever Pat Beverley - no, he's not intimidated by Devin Booker
@dahersch @EricPincus On the other hand it's not cool to hit someone from behind, but how classy is it to stand over a player like Ayton was Austin? If Ayton doesn't want to be in that position don't stand over a player like he was.
@OK6 @dahersch it's not classy. And I get why Pat did what he did. Hitting a guy from behind (again btw) is troublesome to me
@OK6 @EricPincus agreed. I kinda thought Ayton was about to reach his hand down to help Reeves up just before he got shoved from behind but maybe I am optimistic about humankind? But yeah, Ayton wasn't helping the situation. I think there was something else that happened a play or two before? Let's move on....Golden State held a clinic last night on how to play team basketball. So sorry the Clippers had to be the Washington Generals for it....
@dahersch @OK6 Clippers w/o their 2 top dudes. Going to be a long season for LA (.500 level) if they don't have PG and KL for long stretches
@EricPincus @OK6 yeah. Sadly a movie we've seen the last couple of seasons. Still early. Everybody healthy by mid late January with the Clips still hovering around .500 would be okay by me. This is why RoCo, NoPo deal last season will be big. Getting playing time together is big. Last night's game showed how bad a defense can be when not "on a string" as CP used to say
