suns shine

Las Vegas - On the ice tonight, the defending Stanley Cup champs will start the defense of their Stanley Cup with a win over Montreal in the opener. Think that the Lightning are a tick better on offense, the Habs might be a tick better on defense, and the battle of goalies, Carey Price vs. Andrei Vasilevskiy, is basically a toss-up. Special teams is lopsided, with Tampa clicking on 37.7% of its power plays, while Montreal kills 93.5%. So, the plan is to go game by game, and in game one, it's a Lightning strike!

Back to the desert for the Phoenix/L.A. game and just like the last time, we're planning to CASH another ticket with the Suns. Check this out. There musta been a lid on the basket at Staples because Devin Booker (0-5) and Chris Paul (0-3) were a combined OH FOR EIGHT from downtown. And Jae Crowder was an ugly 1 of 6 from deep. NOT gonna happen at the Phoenix Suns Arena tonight. Booker will go without the mask and CP3 will be out of his State Farm-mind as he makes his first-ever trip to the NBA Finals. If the line stays at -5.5, we would buy the hook down to -5 and watch the Suns SHINE!
