A big win would be lovely. I don’t need any more stress. Every game seems more important than the last. Would love to go up 2-0. Would hate to split 1-1.

My AC is out and the parts are in Texas. Have to pay $100 bucks to have them come next day air for tomorrow. So I am going to be in a foul mood no matter what happens.

But you really don’t need to compound it!

Personally...... I am hoping for a bad shooting night from the clippos that leads to a large lead in the 3rd so that I can get my rear end to bed!!!

I want us to hold a 8-10 point lead from the middle of the 3rd to the end. Force them to play hard all 46 minutes. Just so the are even more tired for the next game.

If we go up 2-0 on this clipper team I will join all of you being nervous.
This clippers team is just different with their backs are against the wall.

Yeah, I feel like we need a 10 point lead with 3 minutes left or so to win. I just don't trust Book like Chris to close out the game for us. last game again reinforced that.

That’s fine. It opens the floor more for DA and cutters. We knew others would have to step up more tonight. Feeling a big game from Bridges.

Hope so. We cannot afford to miss so many wide open 3's this game.

Also I wish Mikal would learn to pump fake on the 3 when a guy is running at him instead of quick shooting. He pretty much never makes it when pressured.

I am counting this game as a loss. I figured a split without Paul would be fine.

I keep thinking like that, and the Suns keep winning! I keep thinking, "Well, they played well so far." I'll be damned they win games I think they have no right in winning!!

A study done on the rest vs rust debate for NBA teams is positive for the Suns for game 2.

https://www.researchgate.net/public...onate_Time_Between_Rounds_of_a_Playoff_Series

The results indicate that having
additional time between rounds of the series provides a statistically significant
advantage; interestingly, though, it has more of an impact on the second game of
the subsequent round than it does for the first game.
