Game Notes
The Suns are coming off a rather dissapointing loss that featured a blown 19 point lead and a 35 point turnaround for the Lakers. Their defense was simply atrocious, allowing the Lakers to shoot 56% throughout the contest. They uncharacteristically turned the ball over again and again, and also managed to get pounded on the boards. In the second NBA Playoffs rematch for the Suns in as many nights, Phoenix will look to recapture their winning ways against the solid Clippers team. They will have to look like a completely different team if they want to knock off the Clippers. Tim Thomas will return in uniform to United Airways Arena for the first time since he left the Suns to sign a contract with the Clippers.
Injuries
Shawn Marion is suffering from back spasms due to an injury sustained by taking a charge in a preseason game against the Lakers' Andrew Bynum, but is probable. Leandro Barbosa is nursing a hurt toe, but is probable. Corey Maggette is listed as day to day for the Clippers, while Aaron Williams will not be available for the contest.

Re: Game 2: Los Angeles Clippers @ Phoenix Suns - 11/1
We gotta get this one! It's tough because the Clippers are not going to want to lose their opener, but the Suns will have to hope that their home crowd will give them the needed lift to put together some good basketball.

Re: Game 2: Los Angeles Clippers @ Phoenix Suns - 11/1
I can't wait to see how TT does. Will he step up and have another super season, or will he chill now that he has his contract?
I hope our crowd cheers TT...that guy was clutch for us last year. At times it seemed like he and Raja were the only ones who wanted to win.
We better play some interior defense if we want to win this game.

Initially I had the Suns losing this one, but this is a must win now as far as I'm concerned.

I wouldn't call this game a must win but a win we want to get under our belts...

Starters didn't get it done straight off, but the bench has come in and played really well. Marcus Banks just flies up and down the court. Damn he is quick.

Re: Game 2: Los Angeles Clippers @ Phoenix Suns - 11/1
It was just awesome seeing Amare out there the first half, and playing well. Scoring around the rim with layups, and that jumper. Then we got to see that monster dunk.
I'm liking what I see from Banks as well so far. This was an awesome pick up.
And Marion, just wow. He's playing great to start the season. I couldn't believe he made that bad pass, ran around players, and ended up getting it back. Wish they timed that lol. I swear though, people just don't understand how vital he is to a team.
James Jones keeps playing this way, can we see Jumaine come in? I heard Jumaine had looked better shooting the ball.
Clippers are bound to go on a run. Let's keep at it, hopefully build a bigger lead. We also need to stop turning it over. We're also not even hitting 3's this game, which reminds me, those people who say we live and die by it are ignorant. There's been evidence of this for awhile now. Not just this game.

Re: Game 2: Los Angeles Clippers @ Phoenix Suns - 11/1
Clearly an offensive foul on Barbosa. This is why I hate phoenix so much. Three free points for phoenix on a dirty elbow to Ross's throat.

Re: Game 2: Los Angeles Clippers @ Phoenix Suns - 11/1
If it happened, it was accident, and clearly doesn't warrant to "hate" a team. But do what you want, and live your life that way. I can't stand this place sometimes because of people like you. Always gotta complain, whine or hate when things don't go your way. However, I'm not wired that way. Blame is where it should be. Not refs, or the other team.
