It would be nice to steal one in Minny. Maybe two. Suns aren't the best home team.

In fact, Suns were 25-16 at home, 24-17 on the road. Though I suppose that isn't too bad, as the Mavs and Clippers both had the same home record with just a better road record than the Suns. Thunder and Nuggets both went 33-8 at home.

I also want to point out the Suns are 3-0 in OT and the Wolves are 1-4.

I'm just voting suns in 4 every series because thats our motto and I believe it.

[sunsbg]

Same start time as last game. Hopefully the team shows same determination and gets the win again.

For Play Off B

Head to head , compare players by mine.

Bradley Beal - Mike Conley

If we looked at Beal in last couple matches from ending run , the decision is simple. Mike Conley try to be like Chris Paul ( smart PG without athletic ) , but he has a lot below BB IQ than him and he never be like him.

1:0 for Phoenix

Devin Booker - Ant

Very thought decision. In one hand everybody remember Play Off B from last season, but on this season Ant was incredible good. I’m think that very fair is draw.

Grayson Allen - Jaden McDaniels

Jaden is baddest defender that he was be in last season. I don’t think that, he will be in All D First Team. Grayson Allen is best shooter in this league especially from three points , but bad defender and a little small to guard Jaden one on one. Very small advantage to us.

Phoenix 2:0

Kevin Durant - KAT

The choice is very simple. KAT is a loser who never win any series in PO and Additionally he back from injury and he missed a lot of games before PO.

Phoenix 3:0

Nurk - Gobert

This is point for our rival. Gobert is true rim protector in our league and he is very good in rebounding , blocking and set screens.

Phoenix 3:1

Bench

I don’t know who will be playing from our bench ( that so I wrote I cut minutes couple our players especially Drew and Gordon ) and our rival has NAW who is the best player from this group called bench players. J Mac is solid in advance statistic and Reid has a lot of good games in starting five.

Point for rival.

Phoenix 3:2

Both of HC are “specialist” on D but our opponent has best D in this league. I don’t trust Vogel a lot of , but also I don’t think that their HC is better.

Overall : I know exactly that this compare is only on a paper and basketball court verify all and there’s nothing to adapt step by step , but we have more All Stars Power and the best player from this series is on our side.

I bet that we easy win this series 4:1/4:2 maybe

Nurk/Gobert is interesting because I think both could potentially be played off the court, but Nurk has the versatility on offense to punish Minny better than Gobert can punish us. Probably still an advantage for Gobert. Nurk needs to stay the **** out of foul trouble.

I really like this match up. It's hard to believe that we got it. I was expecting OKC with the way the season has gone.

I'd love to see a game 1 victory and I think the Suns can pull it off.

[SunsRback4Good]

The keys to the game:

A) limit TO’s to 8-10

B) play Eubanks little as possibly unless Nurkic gets in significant foul trouble.

C) stay far away from iso basketball and play as a team

D) Don’t need hero book; Beal has been playing great lately let him make the proper decisions

Thank you!

I read the board almost daily, but when the playoffs come around it's hard not to get more involved.

That’s good to hear. Are you rooting for the Suns or T-Twolves to win the series. Be honest

Call me gullible, but I have a feeling we are going to come out focused and take it to them. We have a lot of pressure this year but I think in this series more pressure is on Minnesota, being the 1 seed almost all year, etc...having HCA, etc.

If we lose and it looks like it's because a complete lack of focus I blame it on you!
