Phoenix is loaded with future Hall of Famers, all of whom are poised to give the Clippers problems if they don’t correct their mistakes in a hurry from game to game.
PLAYA VISTA — It’s the playoffs, where a team has potentially seven chances to get it right. Seven games to find the right matchups, to figure out the most effective schemes, the right defense and the best offense.The Clippers open their best-of-seven playoff series against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday with an eye on moving forward, on another opportunity to win their first NBA title.
What’s not going to change is the Suns’ talent level. They are loaded with future Hall of Famers, All-Stars and former MVPs at key positions, all of whom are poised to give the Clippers problems if they don’t correct their mistakes in a hurry. But first, they need to focus on Durant. Guards Chris Paul and Devin Booker also could make the Clippers pay with their ability to find the open man or shoot the ball themselves. Booker leads the team in scoring and is dishing out 5.5 assists per game. Paul, a playoff veteran, is averaging 13.9 points and 8.9 assists.
