Don't think it's going to come to that, although the Suns will probably win. We are without 3 starters, plus Canaan and K-Pap.
Though we are short handed, PHX is on a B2B .....The problem is where normally we would club them at their weakness in the middle...Dwight won't be playing. On the other hand, Wolverine might very well be back...and THAT would make a big difference here. We need a big game from DMo/Beard. It should be pretty tight.
I'm hoping Harden has a great game to redeem himself for last night. I know he dropped 38 on the T'Wolves, but his 4th quarter performance was pretty bad. The Rockets have a shot, but they have to control the pace. Run lots of plays for D-Mo.
Did you watch the 4th quarter? He nearly handed that game to the T'Wolves with the constant turnovers and missed shots. Not to mention fouling out in a really dumb manner.
With so many guards out against a guard oriented team, I think this might be the time our guys just can't get it done. DD
I think we all said the same thing against Memphis. All our bigs are out. Wait and see approach on this one. Gerald Green. This guy lights it up!
They are going to harass Harden all game and see if they can't just get him in foul trouble with their speedy guards. You can't let Terry play 40+ minutes night in and night out at his age for who knows how long...
We are going to miss Papa a lot more than we might think. He's the only guy consistently cutting, moving, hustling. We need a lot from D-Mo & Garcia better find his shot!! Daniels also better be ready, because we should not have to lose from the Suns no way..
It's how you finish that counts. Do any of us remember fondly the first 3 quarters of Game 6 against the Blazers where Harden was on fire? Or do we dwell on the last few minutes on the 4th where he couldn't buy a basket and caused a communication breakdown on the last play which left Lillard wide open?
