Let's get this!!
Unfortunately I was on the clips last night as I played it early before I saw Mavin's post, although that would not have changed my mind, as I saw a dis functional Suns team with a green coach and whom were previously hammered by the Clips. Thought the Clips would bounce back, would need to keep pace with OKC and SA after losing the night before.
Forgive me guys for talkin about the past but I missed out on the thread yesterday being busy with work(those bastards) and thursday night shinny (so out of shape!) but I always make an effort to learn from my mistakes and I know other place to go then this very informative world class thread.
So now the lesson, and please guys chime in. I want to, need to hear your thoughts, What I saw last night from the Clips was a beat down tired team both mentally and physically. Maybe worn down from the grind of keeping pace with OKC and SA? Clips haven't been in this position before and to go on a 17 game streak and OKC and SA are still right there, has to be deflating. So now what? Fade them until they snap out of it and realize that they are in a dog fight?
Teams with great records not always show up against the teams they do not consider as a challenge. I already wrote that LBJ said once in an interview that it is impossible to keep throughout the whole long regular season the intensity of the playoff games. It is natural that the strong teams will have let downs against the teams playing them like it's a Super Bowl. Gotta be careful on those kind of games. Now, if the Clips won - most probably you would be explaining to me why they won and not the other way around. But hey - that's handicapping. As of the question on your later post - the Suns are now playing for a new management and the intensity level is high with each game.
