Suns-Clippers: The Spirit and Legend of Kobe Bryant lives on in Devin Booker. Kobe was, is, and always will be, my favorite player and one of my idols and inspirations. And every time I watch Devin Booker play, especially in games like last night where he just took over and the Clippers had no answers, it was like I was a little kid watching Kobe again. He plays JUST LIKE him. No fear, no remorse, and no mercy. Just an absolute, stone cold killer. Mamba Mentality personified. And man, I can't help it I get emotional and even a little teary-eyed. (God, I miss Kobe, man.) As such, I find myself rooting for the Suns to win the whole thing. This was a good first step, taking Game 1. But after the Clippers just won 2 straight series' after being down 0-2, the last thing ANY team should do is ease off of them. Chris Paul will be back at some point, and there are still question marks about Kawhi Leonard, but that shouldn't matter if you're the Suns. They should be in full attack mode throughout the whole series. Don't give them room to breath.
