Hi guys, here is my bet for today:
Phoenix Suns - LA Clippers -
x1,57:
My betIn my humble opinion, the Phoenix have absolutely all chances of winning the Game 1 of the series against the Clippers. There are enough reasons: Phoenix had 6 days to rest and prepare for the prospective opponent. Moreover, the fact that the Clippers could become their rivals was already becoming clear after the Game 5. Although Mann played excellently in the Game 6, I think that the same game is unlikely to be shown again. Therefore, I will not say for the entire series, where the Clippers can still show themselves, but Game 1 should be for the Phoenix today.
So you believe that they will win even without CP3 in game 1?
Yes, they are good and they have the home-court advantage, but the Clippers had been playing really well.
I hope the suns will not come out rusty in game 1, that usually happen for teams that have a long rest.
5 days is not the longest vacation, but it is very profitable to rest a little and prepare well for your opponent. I have nothing against the Clippers (an objective assessment only), in Game 6 I was stunned when I saw how many 3pts were shot by Mann, but here we must not forget that this could be a one-time success for him. Therefore, I will not guess, everything will become clear very soon.
