This might and will possibly get ugly real quick. Suns are still trying to find their mojo while Clippers should be in better shape to face us early in the season.
Their bench of Leonard, Kennard, Wall, Covington & Batum could win 45+ games alone on a different team as a starting unit.

I think Suns will have a very good start, be right there with these guys... until our bench unit comes in. Hoping Cam Johnson is fine, Chris Paul might need to step up. Will need to feed Ayton and stay home on rebounds, these guys will try to overload the glass.

Suns should be more rested than the clippers who play tonight. We need to come out like gangbusters before our atrocious bench comes in and blows the lead like Q mentioned above.

And the Kings are fighting for the playoffs this year, so it shouldn't be an easy game for them tonight.

True. After 15+ years of missing I can’t imagine how their fans would react to a first playoff game since Webber, Peja, Divac days.
Q, I’m trying to use a specific Jock Landale photo for an avy but it’s not working. Here is the photo if you could direct me in the right direction or have few minutes to kill and make me this avy, I’ll gladly appreciate it.

Appreciate it bud. I believe if I copy your avatar now with Landale in it it should work.

Shoot... Clippers are resting Kawhi tonight so he is well rested to face the Suns, John Wall is also resting.

One of those matchups where Crowder is useful. I don't see anyone besides Craig with the size to match up with Kawhi but he provides zero on offense.

At least Kawhi is still not 100% I presume. He only played 21 minutes against the Lakers on opening night. He put up 14 points on 50% shooting, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and a steal. I didn't catch any of the game so I'm unsure if he looked rusty or not.

Well those are good #s for 21 min. Translates to about 21, 10, 3.
George had a big game tonight.

That team is soooo deep. I was looking at their roster and even their 3rd string dudes would be getting 20 mins a night over here and would be counted on alot lol.
Completely nuts they have that many good players. I hope our new owner throws money around like Balmer did/does.

I have a feeling Markieef is gonna bully his way tomorrow since we're so small inside and both PG13 and Kawhi just gonna go off with little resistance from anyone besides Ayton.

Markieff can’t bully us since he plays for the Brooklyn Nets.

Here’s what I’ve noticed so far going back to last years first round series. Opposing teams are putting their worse defender on Mikal Bridges and a wing on CP3.
At his advanced age CP is having a hard time scoring over long defenders and is too slow to get by them.
Mikal can’t initiate his own offense and that’s the game plan.
Portland put Dame on Mikal and mikal did absolutely nothing.
The way I see it is if Mikal doesn’t step up his game CP is going to look the way he does. Mikal is the key to this teams success. He needs to punish them for putting smaller defenders on him. And frankly his defense does not look like first team to me.

So Monty's coaching needs to make adjustments for the other team's defense? Sure, why not.

CP3 needs to show something offensively. If he doesn't then this is an easy Clips win.

We have seen glimpses of Mikal having that Marion offensive mid range game in him. If he and the staff can embrace that the sky is the limit.

What's the go with CamJo? It's 2 games in and he was already banged up in what, game 1? Played below starter minutes and barely played 2min in the 4th quarter against the Mavs. Then against the Blazers he basically didn't play in the 4th or OT. Now I check ESPN and he's questionable with a hip thing ?
