This has to be a must-win game for the Suns right? I can’t even imagine losing this and being down 0-2 going to LA with realistic chance to win the series.

God it would be so embarrassing after their big superduper blockbuster trade and all.

If Suns lose might as well cancel on 4/20 and blaze it up. Hehe

Did you ever make that throwaway $70 bet on the Clippers that we were talking about the series with Suns being ridiculous heavy favorites on the betting lines?

The Scott Foster news just killed my spirits.It's always an uphill battle when he's reffing the Suns.

We got 3 opponents to beat tonight.
Clippers, Scott Foster and Monty Williams.

This is gonna be a tough one. If we win tonight we should win the championship. Monty Williams and Scott Foster are really tough to beat.

See the problem with Monty starting Craig is that there was no need.
Lineup changes are made after at least playing one game.
The first game we should’ve kept the lineup the same to see how we matchup.
Now we don’t have that leeway to take those chances because we’re down 0-1 and lost home court. Thanks Monty.

I understand you want more size on Kawhi but there’s no need. Kawhi is gonna Kawhi.

Start Okogie and put him on Westbrook. Westbrook got way too many offensive rebounds. Okogie gets dirty. I’m pretty sure Okogie would’ve gotten us some offensive rebounds and would keep Westbrook in check.

And obviously the bench was the main problem. Plumlee is concerning. 11 rebounds in 18 minutes and +16.
Our backup bigs are trash that’s the problem. I’ve been saying waive Landale for the longest time and pickup a real NBA backup C.

Yes, at that time the odds were +280 for Clippers to win in 7 but now checked dropped to +155. Figured I bet 70 to win a bit over 200 incase Suns were fools gold with KD 8-0 start with us. Regardless what the bet was I want nothing more than for Phoenix to win in 6 or 7.

So we have confirmation that the fan that got into with Westbrook is the same fan as the one counting money during the finals (according to his daughter on tiktok). Matt Ishbia has a chance to get lots of good will with Suns fans by just asking him to stay home.

Y'all think we can win 2 straight in LA to tie this series?
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

With Payne out which he always is, better not see 28 minutes of Shamet again or this team is in trouble

No Payne again.

Payne hasn’t had one good season overall since he got that contract extension. Funny how that works with so many players.
