I have been picking Marion for high scorer except a couple times, last game I went with Nash and Marion went on a tear...........Marion it is and lets hope he scores 30 points again.

Bell

This gonna be a loss - mark it down.

Marion won't show up - he's already done his work for the next two games.

 

[az1965]

This gonna be a loss - mark it down.

Never underestimate the heart of Suns...

Never underestimate the heart of Suns...

I don't, that's why I think it'll be close - otherwise I'd say we lose in a blowout like we did in Game 4 last year to the Mavs after we got homecourt back in Game 3.

This Clippers team ain't gonna lie down and die - they've got too much size and I expect Dunleavy to make adjustments, like starting Magette, which will kill us because it will take away from the switch of Marion/Nash on Cassel and (Can't remember the scrubs' name). If Maggette is inserting into the starting lineup, Nash will have to switch back to Cassel or get killed by Maggette. Hopefully, Dunleavy ain't that smart though...

 

[az1965]

Does Maggette start for Ross or Mobley? I assume for Ross. I would assume following matchup then...

Brand -- Thomas
Cassell -- Marion
Kaman -- Diaw
Maggette -- Bell
Mobley -- Nash


I don't see a problem. Bell will easily negate Maggette.

 

[JS22]

Suns - 108
Clipps - 105

Hmmm.... What the hell, Marion.

 

[Nasser22]

I want to pick the Clippers because I expected this to be a close series but right now I just can't go against the Suns, I think they got this and can win in 5, I hope.

Suns 104 Clippers 98
Barbosa, because Marion sucks. :-D

Brand -- Thomas
Cassell -- Marion
Kaman -- Diaw
Maggette -- Bell
Mobley -- Nash


I don't see a problem. Bell will easily negate Maggette.

Nash will get eaten up by Mobley in the post. That lineup will give us fits. And Magette won't be easy to negate - he's MUCH bigger than Bell - the guy was rebounding like Wilkt Chamberlin during the 4th quarter against us.

 

[az1965]

I'd rather have Mobley try to win the game for Clippers than Brand, Cassell, or Maggette...

As long Bell can limit Maggatte offensively, I think he was 3-10 for 7 pts, and this matchup allows Marion, Thomas, and Diaw decent number of rebounds to keep the discrepancy low enough, we still will have the edge.

Marion

 

[Billy Bob]

I heard on ktar that kamen is questionable with a shoulder injury.

 

[Billy Bob]

Kamen Bruised right shoulder, wont start.

 

[jandaman]

If the Suns win this, i think the Clippers will feel the pressure next game, and I dont think Dunleavy is the the right coach to get them to come back. If it was a Phil Jackson, Popovich, Brown etc... then its a different story.

But Dunleavy and the Clippers don't know how to win yet... well the coach anyways. No offense.

So I think this will be close..the clippers can easily win this, but for a win-win situation.. I pick.

Suns: 105
Clippers: 100
