It will be interesting to see who comes to the party in this one. I would love to see MCD have a monster game on both ends and for Rubio to bring more than he brought last night.

Usually with these mini series, teams make adjustments that killed them the night before.
With the Blazers b2b, Portland started doubling KAT right off the bat.
PHX is probably going to look for ways to stop Ant drives and getting the ball out of KAT's hands
Or maybe they just go "Hey, there's no way in hell they both get 40 again" and play the same way.

They cannot really fix it though. They got very lucky that our guys were cold. Tonight if they double off on both Ant and KAT, Layman, Rubio, Nowell, MCD, and others will light them up. I think this game will be better for us than last night.

Thing is, KAT and Ant were marvelous on offense last night, not likely they both blow up like that again. I think locking up Kat and Edwards could produce fruit tonight. We shall see though, if the others show up it will be hard. I think Juancho's confidence under Finch is growing and his game may follow.

I don’t know why, but I just have the feeling MCD is going to have a great night. I also think Ricky will step up. I could be wrong, but it just feels like that kinda night.

Need more shooting from the bench tonight. Well, except Juancho, he was excellent last night.
Need more out of Nowell, McDaniels,
And Reid.

So McDaniels and Okogie starting today instead of Vando and Layman.

I get the sense that Finch hates Vando. His inability to catch the ball is just too much of a liability. As for Okogie his defense was huge in the 4th, I like the idea of rewarding him with a start.

I’m sure Finch wants to start Okogie on Booker and he refuses to have Vando and Okogie on the floor together, thus we get the Okogie/McDaniels starting forwards.

We historically play bad on back to backs. I have a bad feeling about this one. Kat and Ant might not have much in the 2nd half. I hope I'm wrong.

I love Okogie's defense, I just wish he would be a little better on offense...

The ball should never be in Okogie's hands for more than a few seconds, if it is bad things happen.

Finch says he loves Juancho. Says he's a great shooter and tough player. He knows him well from Denver.
Are we thinking the same Juancho?
Maybe Finch can do for Juancho the great things he's done for others.
Culver sigting!
