That's one small step(p) for Polly, and one giant leap for...

Some of the stuff we've been talking about....Moore's minutes weren't great in Game 1. Have to wait and see if Monty gives him another go or if we give Jevon a try. Cam could see more minutes as well. Maybe Game 1 was just a case of Moore getting his legs under him.

Moore started a game before the season ended and had a fantastic game. I’m sure that was what gave Monty the confidence to play Moore game one. Unfortunately he had a sub par game. What does that mean? To me it means players have good and bad games sometimes. Does he go back to Moore or shy away? Tough call.

I bet he plays Moore in the 1st Q, but if he struggles again, he pulls him quick and we don’t see him again.

I'd like to see Jevon Carter get some time alongside Payne and Booker. His energy on defense is really what we need more than offense, especially if Booker is the primary ball handler while Payne is out. While Booker is out, and Payne is on the court, we need him playing bulldog defense on Terrance Mann or Reggie Jackson. He's too short to man up on Paul George, though.

And he was hitting his threes at a pretty good clip last I remembered.

If Moore isn’t going to provide any creation on offense, ya you might as well play Carter for his defense. Or Galloway for his shooting.

Galloway has been iffy in his latest sprinkling of minutes played during the season in garbage time. He is a guy that can get hot as hell though. His ass has to be sore from sitting on the bench so long throughout the year.

I trust Moore significantly moore than Carter.

I don't trust Carter to handle the ball nor hit shots with a defender closing out on him. Maybe he could defend a little, but he's still a little guy and I don't think he could do much against Jackson or Mann.

I think Moore can be more impactful and positive than he was the other night. I hope that the Clippers don't continue to shoot as well from 3 as they did in the first game. Also, the Suns need to be aware that the Clippers are hunting cheap steals, catching the Suns off guard after change of possession.

The Clips got a bunch of steals early on. I would hope the Suns are ready this time. No week off to get rusty this time. Morris health is iffy. Attack him and make him prove he’s not injured.

For some reason, The Clippers don't do well guarding hero ball. Let Devin do his thing and put Jevon to pest anyone who shoot a 3 when he's point book.

Maybe do some switching to get Morris guarding Book at the 3pt line and see if Morris can keep up.

Edit: Wait, did Morris come out of the starting lineup in those replacements? I saw the additions, not the subtractions. If Morris is out that means he’s not 100% and hurting. I know it’s bad to say but Morris is a big part of their team and if he can’t go that’s not good for the Clips.

Morris is playing, but it doesn't mean that Book won't torch him.

And it doesn’t mean he doesn’t aggravate the injury on said torches.
