I have 100% sprained an ankle in my sleep. I just saw a facebook memory about it from like... 10 years ago.
Whoa! I had no idea Grumpy.

I have no **** clue how I did it, but I definitely remembered I did after seeing that "memory".

This -7.5 Suns line seems very suspicious maybe cause Clippers are home? It might get to 8.5 before tipoff not sure.

That being said, we better DESTROY the Clippers tonight.
Yeah, they have the WORST luck. It's much more exciting to watch us battle vs Kawhi and George and beat them, or even just Kawhi.
They also got screwed on the schedule. I imagine if we had two days off like most teams when it switched courts he'd have a better chance of playing. Our game 4 is before the Grizz/Lakers and Heat/Bucks game 3s.
But yeah, my first though was "watch us lose"....and yes, we better kill them. They get to go home and then Kawhi is out. Crazy. I hope it's not contagious to our team.

I mean, Suns are also playing the same schedule, with oft-injured and older players. Just how it works out. They get two days off between games 4 and 5. Just sucks for Clippers that they are still sharing an arena with the Lakers and Kings. They'll always come 3rd priority in that arena. It is what it is.

Yeah, but George was already hurt. We were healthy. And they almost always give 2 days off while switching courts. But yeah, we could easily have players get injured tonight or especially Saturday too, given how our season has gone and the age/injury history of Paul/KD.

Well, I definitely take back my statement about my money on the Clippers. Hopefully Monty won't have to play Book and KD 44-45 minutes a game while Kawhi is out. There's no way that was sustainable.

True, but many think he sucks anyway. That is the equivalent of them missing Bones Hyland (though Payne may not be as good).

he just needs to be better than Shamet, which anybody can do.

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

I voted for 56+ cause Westbrook is a walking triple double. Imagine if we had him instead of Payne and Shamet on our team? We’d be considered heavy favorites and probably lose couple games in entire playoffs.
