Please smash these clowns. If DA plays with a pulse and we avoid cold stretches from three, I like our chances. Looking forward to how Book responds - he's been waiting a long time for this. We were going to have to beat these guys eventually. Do it now while they find a replacement for LeBron's eye - word on the street is that he was still looking for it but drilling all of his shots even with that adversity *rolleyes*
DA versus AD!
No it's a bad matchup https://www.landofbasketball.com/games_ ... _davis.htm
Anthony Davis has averaged 25.2 points, 11.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 5 games versus Deandre Ayton in his career.
Anthony Davis has averaged 23.8 points, 10.6 rebounds and 2.8 blocks in 17 games versus Jae Crowder in his career.
Crowder has the best stats out of everyone on AD as bad as they are it's the best and every little counts.
AD is also just a beast and those are basically his career numbers anyways

Hope my image posts. It was made to honor the Suns destroying the Lakers in the 1st round.
I want them to feel disrespected, and take it out on the Lakers. I'm not opposed to a flagrant here and there

Rather have him play average with crowder than better than Average with Ayton, plus Ayton has been fouling like mad against him in the last few games. Keeping him average is easier to prepare for IMO

The Phoenix Suns are back in the playoffs for the first time in 11 years ending the second longest drought in the NBA! After not making the playoffs the previous year, they have procured the #2 seed in the West and the 2nd best record in the entire NBA. What do they get for the fruits of their labor? A first round match up with the defending NBA champion LA Lakers. BEAT LA!
GoSuns!!!

Cap, I need you to do the thing. It would not be a Suns playoff series without it.
Beat Louisiana?

Does anybody know the extent of DA’s knee injury? Was it just a precaution to hold him out? Sore knee, right? What made it sore?
They never told us. They always make it mysterious. We don't know if it was an actual injury or just general soreness. It seems I recall being told Amare had "knee soreness" and he ended up with microfracture surgery.

Whenever I hear knee soreness, I think meniscus. Probably because I had to have mine repaired.

So what. It’s not like the NBA is going to hold him out from a game.

I think we really need both Ayton and Johnson. Both are good defenders and Johnson if healthy in mind and body is our best shooter.
I think Johnson could play solid defense on either Lebron or (the guy that could not win in New Orleans- so left town) - I had to say that because I really cannot stand his drama. I think he even leads Lebron in that category.
I do not see many minutes for Carter in this series with Johnson able to play.
The biggest key is what we did in the next to last game of the season against Portland. I thought the effort was first class. It was all men on deck. Everyone hustled and everyone rebounded. If we can stay with them on the boards and limit our turnovers, we have a chance.
Go Suns

I actually value Lowe and Legler opinion but either way
Whatever, we're taking names.
