The line may also be influenced by the thinking that the Suns are "due" for a loss after having won eight straight.
Well I am worried about Memphis. We very well could lose that game.

Actually a loss to Memphis might be a good thing. I don't want us going into the playoffs over confident.

they didn’t have Klay or Draymond against the Grizz. That’s a difference tonight. I don’t know how much, but those guys back in the lineup shows they’re a little motivated to win tonight as opposed to their lay down against the Grizz.
I really don't think Klay makes any difference.

Steph is what makes their offense tough, without him they can be guarded straight up, and they just don't scare me even a little.

Right. These aren't the Kings that want to be a spoiler. They will be motivated against us, sure, but why wouldn't they against Memphis or any of the other teams they've played? That doesn't make sense. Especially Memphis.
I think Kerr pulled a pop by resting his stars against them!

Welp, there is the Suns motivation for tonight. They will likely take that personally and want to prove that statement false
I really don't think Suns needed any more fuel.

Pretty sure GS is the only team with a winning record against us. That already had them pumped up for this one.

Well if that is what he did, it's pretty stupid. They are about to be the 5 seed instead of the 3 seed.

Maybe I am just overly paranoid but if we lose to the Warriors tonight you have to worry about a mental block of sorts. Some teams just seem to have other team's numbers. Although I still think we win in a 7 game series the mental aspect is a factor in any series.

If I was the Warriors, I would be worried. This Suns team has taken note of every loss so far. They are now making statements about every one of them. I think it is much more likely that the Suns win by 30 than lose by 1 or more.

They would have to step out of their established character to lose tonight. And this team has been consistent--amazingly consistent.

Yeah...I am just talking about IF they lose tonight what it could mean. I wouldn't be shocked if we blew them out either.

JaVale McGee is listed as OUT on the NBA injury report.
