From the other thread:
ivDT wrote:couldn't find the article where i originally saw that so i looked it up: teams playing in phoenix on the 2nd night of a back-to-back are 0-4 this season with an average margin of defeat of 19.5.
gotta wonder what our energy will be like after tonight's game. phoenix will be coming off of a day's rest.
Looks like a schedule loss, so let's surprise them with some energy.

The talking stick, also called a speaker's staff,[1] is an instrument of aboriginal democracy used by many tribes, especially those of indigenous peoples of the Northwest Coast of North America. The talking stick may be passed around a group or used only by leaders as a symbol of their authority and right to speak in public.

Would really be happy with a win here. But realistically 3-2 is good for a 5 game trip.
But 4-1 would be better so let's win.

Well on the bright side we didn't seem to use much energy last night.

We needed to go 3-2, we've gotten there, now we need to be better and get this W. We're going to get torched from 3 if we're not careful.

We're on a downward slide at the moment (hustle/play wise), just like the tail end of the first 10 games.
Hopefully we respond faster this time.

Another win under their belts spells more confidence for the Magic.

Guard matchups will be key. If elf and dipo play well we win this easily... is fournier due for a big game?

Nice game thread once again. Contain their guards best way possible. They're literally the only thing good about this team (I've watched a few of their games this season). Our bench needs to dominate theirs, we have the advantage on that front. This might be the toughest game on the trip but one I feel we can get if we just play with a little more energy than yesterday. Let's finish 4-1!

Dipo looks like he's got his serious face on. I expect him to do work tonight...

This one is going to be super tough... their back court is like a Westbrook & Durant super light... they could easy drop 30 points each on us if we are not careful... this game is either gonna be a super disappointment l for us or down to the wire ein for either team... hopefully we just play with energy and maybe come out with a W.. go magic

I'll be at the game 4 rows up behind the Magic bench. It should be funny hearing Skiles yell 3 all night lol.
Anyone got a update on Aaron? I know a lot of people from the U of A were going to the game just to see him.

We need to watch that Teletovic dude. He and Booker have been catching fire from behind the 3pt line lately.

If we give up a lot of 3s tonight and against Cleveland, I think the coaching staff will have to re-evaluate some things over the weekend.
Not the end of the world, but it'd be nice to play with energy and try to avoid it.

I'm not buying these odds. Elf and Dipo will step up with great 'D'.
