Somebody's excited. Going to be tough on a back to back with travel last night.

Going into tonight expecting a loss after an overtime, emotional win against the Jazz last night. But I would love it if the Suns pull out a win here.

Either that, or rest Paul (and maybe even Booker).

Look what the cat dragged in! Good to see you, Keyser. How've you been?

This may be a tough one on a back-to-back after an OT game the night before. But we have a deep team, so we should be equipped to handle situations like this. Play the bench guys more; we have a platoon of reserve guards like Galloway, Moore, and Payne who can all see increased minutes tonight. Let's keep CP3's minutes down a bit and maybe give Moore some run. Also, Bridges should be fresh and ready since he didn't play his usual amount last night. I hope Bridges tries actively to make up for a dud game last night.

Our bench should be eager for a chance to prove themselves after a poor performance last night. It's time for Cam Payne's first 35 point triple double.

I think our guys have a different mentality. I think they're going to come out focused, and if the shots can fall initially, I think we take this one.

I'm mostly concerned with physical fatigue, especially later in the game with our Big 3 playing 40+ each last night and Cam Johnson with 37 too. I don't think this team gets too high or too low generally, but the OT plus travel could take a toll.

Hey Sose.

I'm mostly worried about CP3 being fatigued. Ibaka is out, which is good for us. But, the Clippers are a deep, talented team.

However... a win tonight might be enough to start the conversation on whether or not the Suns are a top tier competitor for the title. Taking out the 1st and 3rd teams in the WC in a back-to-back is probably enough for some sports pundits to reconsider the narrative that the Suns are a team built for the regular season.

I'm not expecting much here, but it would be nice to see them hold the Clippers below their shooting averages.

The Suns currently are up 3 games on the clippers. While there is still a lot of season left, a win tonight would go a lon way towards locking up the 1 or 2 seeds.

What up y’all. Popping in for my bi-annual visit. I need to be here more. Suns Twitter and Suns Reddit are ok. No history like this place.

Life’s good. Wrapping up our time in Louisville and headed to Clemson. Hoping to make the hawks game in atl and whatever Suns game is on may 7.

Great to see you all. I’ll visit more.
