Preview: The Clippers Will Beat the Suns

The Big Picture:

The Clippers aren’t losing this one. Back-to-back, on the road, yeah yeah yeah. If the Clippers lose this one, BOTH teams will be pissed.

The Antagonist:

I mean, the Clippers won’t lose this one. Right?

The Suns are last. DEAD LAST. In both record and point differential. In offense and defense. (They play fast though. With them, you get A LOT of bad basketball.)

The Suns have won two — TWO — of their last TWENTY-NINE GAMES. The Suns are zero-for-March. If they hadn’t accidentally beaten their fellow tank-a-thoners in Memphis on February 28th, the Suns would be zero-for-February too.

(Sees leading scorer Devin Booker didn’t practice Tuesday. Neither did second-leading scorer T.J. Warren.)

Nahhhh, the Clippers aren’t losing.

The Basics:
