Patrick Beverley: The Clippers went to the conference finals once... With me, not Chris Paul
“Chris Paul was on the Clippers,” Patrick Beverley said. “Then he left and I came on the Clippers. The Clippers went to the Western Conference Finals the only time. They didn’t go there with Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and the Lob City. They went there with me.

A few plays ago, CP3 picked up a foul on Monte Morris fighting over the top of a curl on the baseline
2 of next 4 times down, CP3 went middle on a curl on the baseline, knowing Monte wouldn’t want to pick up another.
4 points.
Brilliant player, even still – 8:36 PM

When he came off pick-and-roll, he was looking for Landale, but pass was deflected.
Next possession: Paul 3 off ball movement. #Suns 33-29. Timeout Memphis.
Paul just gave remaining starters five and saying “Yeah, Yeah. #Grizzlies. – 8:52 PM

“For them to come in and ‘We’re only looking for you get 5 or 6 million dollars,’ I felt like that was the ultimate spit to my face when I literally just changed this whole organization around, we went to Western Conference finals. I didn’t think I got the fair end of the stick.” -via YouTube / December 30, 2022
Kellan Olson: Devin Booker, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, Cam Payne and Landry Shamet remain out for the Suns in today’s game against the Wizards. Bismack Biyombo (right knee soreness) has been added to the injury report and is questionable. No Chris Paul on there. -via Twitter @KellanOlson / December 28, 2022
Losing Booker with a groin injury is going to be tough for a variety of reasons. He’s the Suns best player and before the injuries hit, he was having a season worthy of finishing on the top-five of MVP voting. You can link his injuries this season to the Suns slowing way down. Chris Paul hasn’t been the same standard we’re used to and Booker has been the main guy for a couple seasons now. Groin injuries usually require a lot of rest, so it may be best for Booker to sit idly by and just hope things can stay afloat in the desert until he’s healthy. -via The Athletic / December 26, 2022
Patrick Beverley: Funny how life works. Just finished Christmas Eve dinner with @russwest44 -via Twitter @patbev21 / December 26, 2022
With the Phoenix Suns’ lead already ballooning to begin the second half, Los Angeles Lakers guard Patrick Beverley scored a layup while being fouled by Chris Paul early in the third quarter on Monday. After the whistle, Beverley placed his right hand a few inches from the floor, suggesting Paul was too small to guard him. The celebration might have been misplaced. The and-1 opportunity for Beverley cut the Suns’ lead from 26 to 23 with his ensuing free throw. Phoenix went on to win 130-104. -via ESPN / December 20, 2022
