Hopefully Russ tries to beat us himself.. I would focus more on Norm Powell. He can get going pretty quickly. Don’t care how it gets done, Suns win tonight to take back home court is a must.

Wondering the same thing. Who created this, Sabestar or a mod added this on to the thread?

And fwiw, Skip doesn’t think he’ll do too hot

Read on Twitter

I did. I think it will be interesting to see how much Westbrook tries to do tonight.

Do people prefer who will be our 3 best players tonight every poll?

Are you someone that has a habit of sleep walking?

Idk personally I think poll should be about Suns players…doesn’t have to be the same exact question. But that’s just me.

Or like, how many times will Ayton fumble a pass down low.

OK, who all is up for an Ayton # of times he fumbles a pass down low poll? There was not a poll at all. I guess we don't need one if people are mad about there being one about Westbrook.

Trap Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Norman Powell is the one who I think will pick up the scoring for the Clippers. He’s been due for a good game.

We've got to treat both LA games as must-wins, especially with no Kawhi tonight. None of this lack of energy because they don't have their best guy. This is just another opportunity for Lue to test his guys who've not played yet this series. Game 4 will be tough.

Don’t screw this up. Hopefully we get some rest for stars.. only 36 hr break until game 4

Can’t screw up the game is very important.

I know the Clips record with their Big 2 isn't great but they are still very well coached, highly disciplined and like a Pop coached team, can still surprise some teams.

At the same time, we have a habit of getting blitzed early because we have a tendency to be slow to match the opposing team's energy. Someone mentioned trap game above and this certainly has the makings of it, especially in LA.

I'm just giving you a hard time, It's a good poll to be fair. I just don't like RW or anyone thats not a sun besides Mikal, Cam and Dragon Bender.

Bones Hyland gets a legit run tonight with Leonard out. Bones could be a problem in these circumstances!

Bones is a wildcard..he can be a problem for either team depending on the night.

He could create problems for them too. He has good upside for them but he's also inefficient and tends to shoot a lot. There's almost as good a chance he shoots them into a win as shoots them into a loss

He's ok. He's no replacement for Kawhi and he already was getting rotation minutes anyway.

Maybe it happened when CP bounced him after game 2. But in all seriousness I think the Clips are covering up something because he looked fine in games 1 and 2. Kawhi is a superstar so the cameras are always on him so someone would see that he's hurt. I think that injury happened off the court

lol what? that make no sense at all

If Warren is a "legit 6th man" then how Ross is not a "legit 6th man".

When you are considered to be a 6th man, your only objective is to score. You don't look for defense on a 6th man.

Hence why, Barbosa, Crawford, Lou Will, Clarkson are great 6th man.

Warren is not a "legit 6th man"...

Not saying Ross is not a 6th man, we know he can put up points but TJ can do the same but TJ is surprisingly a good defender but Ross is clueless on defense so I wouldn't dare play him against the Clips because he'll get exposed by Lue.

Who will be the top 3 performers tonight other than the big 2?
