Time: Monday, June 28, 6:00 pm AZ (9:00 pm ET)
Place: Phoenix Suns Arena, Phoenix, Az
TV: ESPN

Here we go guys, we've been here before. Grinding out wins in LA and then returning to the Valley with a chance to close out the series. This is basically how our month started and we played a helluva game to close out the Lakers so let's look to do the same tonight . The defenses in this series have controlled the last two games and as Monty said postgame it will be nice to have an "offensive explosion" tonight.

Y'all know my stance every game
Match their desperation.....
So don't be giving up a bunch of offensive rebounds, don't be getting beat to loose balls.
Show some poise.....
So don't be sloppy with the ball, play smart.

What if I told you....
There was actually basketball at PHX Suns Arena y'day, ironically it was PHX vs LA and chants could be heard ringing out "BEAT L.A!". That game ended in a Win with a certain young lady becoming the first to score 9K pts and I will just leave this here as we get ready for tonight



Go Suns!!!

Go Suns! Booker has come up big in two straight elimination games. I hope the trend continues. For our sake, for his nose sake, and for his reputation sake.

We've only made it this far 3 times in our over 50 years in the league. (3 wins in the WCF)

It has been 28 years since the last time we made it this far. (Game 6 against Seattle in 1993 WCF)

We have never been up 3-1 in the WCF.

I have never attended a potential Suns close out game ever.

I am so excited to go tonight.

Bring it home, Indy! I have decided that if we go to the Finals, I'm going to fly out and go to a game. Cost be damned.

Charles Barkley always says, about Game 7 in 1993, that he knew that all he had to do was have the best game of his life and we would be in the Finals. I hope Booker, Paul, and Ayton all have that mindset tonight. Barkley had 44 points and 24 rebounds, which has never been matched in the playoffs since.

I wish Barkley thought that throughout the Finals and got proper rest before each game.

there isn't a way for me to like this more than once. I think I need to start a burner account on this site.

Uhoh. What's the backstory to this? I know he partied a lot during both Rockets series.

Same in the Finals.

It didn't look good when he hurt it last game. I was wondering about that. MCLs are tricky.

[Nodack]

Time for Cousins or do they go back to no Center to start?

[Nodack]

Make us proud Indy! Take lot’s of pictures and video.

And don't get into any fights!

They said he is playing, but is questionable. So we should test that knee early and often.

As much as Paul kept saying he had to do better with pace, he didn't. We really need to take advantage of DAs rebounding and the guys we have the leak out down court.
