Jackson has chipped in with several good games this series. And Morris played really well in the last game.

Not like PG has carried them.

That isn’t the point.

The team that is expected to lose can’t be under more pressure.

Pressure comes from high expectations.

Which player has the most pressure on them tonight.....PG or CP?

I say PG.
I'll say CP due to the fact that the Suns imo do NOT want this thing to go to a game 7, though I'm not gonna say there isn't some pressure on PG too...

I don't know about that. PG is kind of playing with house money. No one expected the Clips to win another game in this series when Kawhi went down.

That really doesn't have anything to do with the level of pressure on PG. Pressure comes from expectations.

If Kawhi was healthy, the pressure would be on the Clippers because they would be expected to win. As soon as Kawhi went down, that expectation switched to the Suns. So that puts the pressure on the Suns.

Yep then when they went up 3-1, it got even higher as most expected to series to end in 5

Lol @Skip Brainless. He still swears up and down Dak Prescott is just as talented as Patrick Mahomes...

Think he also put Josh Allen in the same light. Could be wrong on that one, though...

Josh Allen is good, even better than Dak. None are better than Mahomes. Mahomes is probably a better Aaron Rodgers (has a better development coach in Andy Reid to help with that).

Not enough sense of urgency from Lue.

Can't have Bev and Jackson on the bench at the same time.

Mann is playing a lot tonight and I don't know why. Batum is a much better option
