Let's do this.

The Suns travel back to the Staples Center on Thursday to face the Lakers in Game 6.

Only a maximum of two games left in the series in which the Suns lead 3-2. With a win in Los Angeles the Suns can finish the series.

The game will be televised on Bally Sports Arizona and TNT.

Start time is listed at 7:30 p.m. Arizona time.

Any mention of Paul's status, I just saw he re-injured shoulder last night.

Nothing new on Chris Paul that I can find this morning. He hit some free throws and went to the locker room but returned to the bench later.

I will put this here because the focus is game 6. Chris Paul says he could use some rest.

Winning this game is important.

I expect the lakers to come out aggressive with Lebron putting pressure on the basket from the get-go. They’ll have home cooking with refs and energy from the home crowd. Ain’t going to be a stroll in the park tomorrow. Have to bring our hard hats. And a bunch of other sports cliches.

Elimination games are always tough, especially on the road. But if Davis doesn’t play and we can get them down early, they might just pack it up and call it a season.

Pedal to the metal. The first 10 minutes are critical. If the Suns come out hot and build a lead, the Lakers will start booking vacation tickets before half time.

We absolutley could.

Still didn't shoot a very good percentage.

But we might have a more limited CP3.

man, it would be great to get this over in 6 and have Denver go 7 to get him so more rest.

Schroeder has disappeared. If Paul is limited I give Carter a chance to just dog him for a while. Carter can really frustrate people. Just bring in our depth in waves. Everyone going all out.

Btw. I see the pundits saying crowder is afraid of LeBron. I don’t see it. Crowder is not going to beat LeBron in a matchup but he sure as heck is going to make it painful (literally) for LeBron to carry the load.

I hope we can somehow carry our energy from last night over to game 6. I want to see LeBron quit on his team again.

Lakers open -3.

We probably lose tomorrow.

I really think Suns are winning.

Obviously the lakers can't really play any worse, but I truly believe the Suns will be on a mission to end it, and will be successful.

I was surprised to see the line. Let’s see where it moves. If AD is ruled out then I suspect we will be small favs.

This series aside, I've always had mad respect for LaBron. Dude is one hell of a player and seemed to be a model citizen... no guns, drugs, DUI etc. The only thing I never really cared for was the way he left Cleveland and the whole cheap drama of him going to Miami. That being said, I hope he goes down in flames on Thurs.

This may not be the popular view, but I feel like we are playing better against the Lakers with Cam Payne and his penetration anyway - and I would be highly tempted to start him.

There is no guarentee Denver Portland goes 7 either, in fact I have a feeling Denver will close it out in 6 also.

Suns are on a mission. Booker is young and hungry. CP3 has something to prove, Crowder as well.

Lakers have already started the blame game imo. First it was crying with the refs. Then Trez posting or liking posts on social media about why he's not playing. Lebron quitting in game 4 as the layup was missed, head down. And last night too as the players around the Lebron didnt want to play for him. Then the lebron early exit.
