Suns @ Jazz - Race for the 8th seed(and a 1st rounder)

Figured might as well make a thread for this, since a few of us will probably try to watch it. Game is on TNT at 9:30.

Steve Nash - Shannon Brown - Jared Dudley - Channing Frye - Marcin Gortat

Devin Harris - Gordon Hayward - DeMarre Carroll - Paul Millsap - Al Jefferson

Game being in Utah is a huge advantage. Jazz are 23-8 at home, while Phoenix is only 14-18 on the road.

Not sure if Grant Hill will play, missed the last 4 games because of his knee.

What happens if the Suns win and both teams win their last game?

Suns hold the tiebreaker. In baseball terms, the magic number is two for Utah (I think). Two Utah wins, two Phoenix losses, or a Utah win and Phoenix loss puts the Jazz in the playoffs. The Phoenix magic number is 3.

Since there's tonight's head-to-head, it will obviously go a long way in determining the winner since it counts for two either way. Utah wins and they are in. If Phoenix wins, a win vs SA on Wednesday or a Utah loss to Portland Thursday would clinch the playoffs for the Suns.

Yep, looks like frye and hill are both likely out. Gentry said frye is less likely to play then hill.

Go UTAH!!!

I´ll search my Jefferson Twolves shirt and I'll wear it right now to support them. Or even better... I will go to a mormon church and I'll become one of them. My prayers are with Utah tonight

For me, It's imposible to watch it. It's at 4.30 a.m in Spain. I hope tomorrow when I wake up I read good news about it.

I have a hard time picturing Steve Nash lose this game, but fingers are firmly crossed.

Can't wait for #16 so we can do a redo of Luke Babbit for Martell Webster!

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.

Ha. Martell is already here so we can't redo that trade. Instead we will use all our cap space resigning him.

You just wait until we trade Terrence Ross for Wesley Matthews.

EDIT: Who am I kidding, we'd be lucky to get Matthews. Meant to say Morrow.

EDIT. Who am I kidding, we'd be lucky to get Morrow. Meant to say Jared Dudley.

EDIT: Nevermind, it's too hard to find someone that would be a realistic trade and be as bad as Martell has been.
