---The game is in SF after playing Detroit on Thursday night in Phoenix
---2nd night of a back-to-back after playing Detroit on Thursday in Phoenix
---Unlikely that Booker plays due to hamstring injury
---Very unlikely that Curry has another poor shooting night
---GS has no games between now and Friday, and are determined to show that tonight's loss was an aberration

Having said all of the above, if the Suns are able to pull out a win on Friday it will cement them as a legitimate title contender this year.

About the only positive thing for the Suns is that they should be better prepared to play without Booker than they were tonight in the 2nd half. I'll consider it a positive if the Suns lose on Friday by less than 10.
