So we’re down 0-2 and the next question is are we dead? No, we are going to win this series. We are going to win one Friday, then we will win another game at home on Sunday, then win one on the road and finish them off at home.. and then everyone will say what a great series it was.

CP3 is out at least for a week.

We need to trust in Payne. Early in the season he played great as our starting PG.

In game 2 he was rusty and he couldn't buy a bucket but he looked healthy and fast, I think he can do a nice job.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he puts Shamet in the starting lineup but I think Payne will be the guy. He is the only one that can somewhat replace CP3.

We aren't winning this series anyway. I think we win maybe 1 game or 2 if KD/Book go nuclear, but the roster is too flawed to beat a fully prepared and healthy contender.

Need to retool majorly in the offseason - need some more youth and athleticism and shooting around Book and KD.

Everything at their due time. It’s not over and this team is gonna put a fight on the court.

With CP3 out for a few games we are gonna see actual despair from KD, Book and Ayton. I am gonna enjoy these games. Let's **** go!

Yep, it's a chance to see a glimpse of the post-CP3 era. Getting swept won't be the end of the world either. This way maybe put even more focus on improving the team for next season and beyond.

Probably should try to score more points than Denver tonight :)

I'm going to be at my daughter's play for the first half, I expect to check my phone when it's over and the suns to be up 15. Positive vibes

Add: ok I'm an idiot and the game isn't tonight

If KD plays just an average game, we win the last game. I expect him and Book to put the team on their backs. It would be nice to give Ross and Warren minutes. I think being at home will be easier for them to produce.

I feel good about us winning the next two games. We’ll worry about winning in Denver when we get there. Take care of your business at home first.

Look guys - this man is making a post solely to get an I told you so later! Rally and pester him!

I would love a back door sweep, but winning 4 games in a row down 0-3 will be hard.

Suns fans are embarrassing. Learning to ignore the negativity. I have faith with this team and the Suns coaching staff. It will be tough but no way will I bet against them.

It shouldn’t take Monty 7 games into the postseason to realize the obvious. We’re desperately bleeding on offense and need contributions from Ross & Warren. Can’t get any contributions if they don’t ever see the court. Glad he finally realized it I guess better late then never. Just keep Shamet away from the team not even a single minute for him.
