Unfortunately I didn't plan ahead when I was pooping last week and decided to buy George Lopez stand-up comedy gig in Portland for Friday instead of Thursday. Hopefully I can catch some of the game or pay attention to the scoreboard at least.

Foot. On. Throat. Let's get it, we don't want any nuggets comeback nonsense like last year.

People around the league are starting to talk about how this might be Paul's best shot ever at an NBA Finals. It might be premature to say that considering his Rockets team was up 3-2 on the Golden State Warriors in the conference finals before a hamstring pull sidelined him three years ago.

But after the routine disappointments with the LA Clippers and the letdowns and near misses in Houston, this rising Suns' streak feels like the most unexpected playoff situation of Paul's career.

"I'm telling you," Paul said after scoring 17 points with 15 assists and no turnovers in Game 2. "I really haven't been on a team quite like this one."


Paul, who was the centerpiece of Lob City with the Clippers and on an offensive juggernaut in Houston, said he has never seen anything like it.

"Everybody shoots," Paul said. "You don't have to try to find a certain guy. Everybody [on our team] are knockdown shooters."

I've begun clearing my schedule for this team. Last nights softball was (hopefully) the last thing that interferes with watching this team.

Rookie mistake, but you know, it's been 11 years since we've had to plan like this. So I can understand a little rust.

Just don't let it happen again, you're better than that!

(For the record, I'm calling you up, not calling you out! :D )

Suns 1.5 point under dogs for game 3. Vegas odds makers must have some faith that Denver is going to come out fired up at home.

Much smaller line then in Phx, pretty sure we were a 5/6 point favorite each game

I think they will be but the Suns have proven so far they can match energy. I'm concerned about the altitude effect though...I wouldn't feel great about our chances in a close game because of the fatigue factor. Hopefully we don't let it stay close :D

It's really exciting that we can bring the core rotation of this team back next year if we just lock up CP3 and Cam Payne. We have a lot of young and hungry players, and there's been a ton of talk about how much CP3 has impacted them on and off the court. I'm excited to see this team with a full offseason and training camp under CP3's guidance.

Sarver is going to have to open up the piggy bank for the next few years to keep the band together, really hope he's up to the task. I'm sure him and his wallet prefer seeing butts in seats though.

I believe he will. He's making money on merch and we can see how much the crowd is into this team. They will sell endless season tickets

I think so too, especially if this team comes anywhere near a Championship this year.

I honestly don't understand why Brooklyn has been killing them that bad. I mean I know Durant and Kyrie are good, but Giannis is a 2x MVP. Now maybe KD is better or some will argue that, but Giannis is better than Kyrie, and then after those 3 I'd say the Bucks have the next 3 best players in the series in Middleton, Holiday and Lopez (not counting Harden since he's out).

Now with Harden it would make more sense.

Because Giannis may be the best player on the court, but the 2nd best Buck is at best the 5th or 6th best player out there.

Harden hasn't played so I'd disagree there.

Bucks offense has been trash, way too much iso and Giannis should never take a pull up 3 ever again. Middleton finally showed up tonight but Holiday has had a rough series.
