I guess I am in the minority. Personally I like the white and purple uniforms the best. Although they could use a redesign.

No clue. You can see jersey assignments (choices?) at
LockerVision.NBA.com but it doesn't say why. I'd guess player choice plays a big role. I know the only rule of sorts is we can't wear the same color jerseys, which makes sense but they wore green. Tonight they'll be wearing white. For game 6 we'll wear orange and they'll wear black. So I can't find a real logic behind it

I thought it might’ve been not enough of a contrast but I remember wearing orange when the Lakers wore white for game 4. I’m sure someone on Twitter knows the deal

Plan on slamming a couple cold ones in the hour leading up to the game to calm the nerves. Let's go Suns. Take this and you are in complete control of the series.

Just thinking about it. Is this the most important game in this franchise’s history to date? Basically, be within legitimate arms reach of a championship. Nothing this franchise has ever experienced

Thought the game started at 5 for some reason but now I learn its 6. I'd hate to be on the east coast for this run.

The same here. I had to do some business in town and I kept thinking it was a 5 p.m. start for some reason.

Cam Payne has been struggling. He has been a -26 in 51 minutes in the Finals.

In '76 the Suns were even at 2 games a piece with Boston, heading into Game 5...of course, the Celtics went on to win the next two and the championship.
In '93, the Suns were down 3-1 heading into Game 5, which they won to get to 3-2...the Bulls went on to win Game 6 and the championship...

I think it's safe to say tonight is indeed, the biggest game in franchise history as, should they win, they will for the first time ever, achieve 3 wins in a NBA Final Series! :thumbup:

I knew Cam Payne hasn't played well but surprised its been that drastic. Plus/minus is often disputed as far as its relevancy but looking at it over the course of the entire series and knowing we have 2 double digit wins in those 3 games really makes Payne's +/- look awful. Hopefully he figures it out ASAP.

Hopefully that ankle is no longer an issue with Payne. We need a good game from him.

Aside from the usual suspects the Suns could really use a good game from Frank Kaminsky.

If Frank can deliver a good game reminiscent of his brief time as a starter this year then this game should be in the bag. He doesn't need to do that much but if he can be decent for 10 minutes that will be huge.

I think nerves have gotten the better of Cam Payne. He's seemed a little hesitant a few times when he's had good looks. I hope he's over it and ready to go. We need him to give us 15-20 good minutes to take pressure off Booker and CP3.

Yeah, I think the ankle has been an issue. That seems to be about when his performance declined.

Payne doesn't seem to have his usual speed. I hope it returns soon.
