PHX vs. Clippers

[SpursDynasty]

Going with Phoenix on this one.

They respond well to losses. They win almost 75% time after a loss. And even tho it is a back to back game, none of the starters played more than 32 minutes, and most of that was garbage ball.

PHX 4* play

wow..was looking at this game..this is a ballsy pick...u dont think they will have a hangover from last night?? plus you dont think brand and kaman will go wild inside?? i was leaning towards clips on this....they are a better all around team...play some defense and phoenix plays no d and is strictly an outside shooting team...that is just my 2 cents..gl on your play!

They are 0-2 vs. Clips, something has got to give.

Take a look at all of the Suns losses this year, then look at their next game followin the loss. I see a trend.

nice trend...just wish it was this easy...they dont always pan out..i just love brand and kaman having their way tonight...suns lost the first 2 because of this reason and perhaps they dont have an answer right now for these guys....this guy burke they are playing should be playing in the italian league and kurt thomas is softer than ice cream you buy at dairy cream. dont know???? good luck!!

You want trends?....

League: 3-16-2 (Av. loss 4.4) away (-3 to +3), no rest off a 10+ ats loss as away 5+ fav. [Suns] (inc. Pho 103-108 Wash last season)
1-13 (Av. loss 7.2) off a 15+ ats loss.
0-6 (Av. loss 8.7) off a 20+ ats loss.

So you can see there is a direct correlation between last night's form to tonight's result for the Suns. The line is based on reputation and not results.

League: 15-5 (Av. win 8.6) home (-3 to +3), 1 day off any OT as home 4- fav. [LAC]
11-1 (Av. win 10.5!) if total 190+ ...4-0 (Av. win 11.0!) if total 200+.

The totals here show that although both teams are expected to score, only one does.
LAC allow 92.7 ppg at just 40.8% shooting at home, but Phoenix allow 103.8 @ 45.3 on the road.
The Clippers are 13-5 SU at home this season, and have already defeated Phoenix 101-91. Brand was huge in that game, and should be again, as there is no-one for the Suns really capable of shutting him down.

But good luck!
